Mr Foot, Father of Ann, OH's MFMMF

I think there are two Thomas and Ann Yeowells floating about!

Edit: What is the last census you have both Thomas and Ann on? Who is your ancestor descdended from Thomas and Ann Yeowell?

What a minefield! Thanks so much for giving me loads to think about. I'll review everything later. I do remember the Ann Green thing, can't remember why I didn't think she was mine.

I'll be back later, got to go out.

Thanks so much for looking at this

There is most definately 2 families with the same name!

In 1871 Thomas and Ann are at 40 Gloucester St

In 1881 Ann is a widow and living as a boarder at 37 Gloster St, so that would make it look that the death you found could be the Ann Green. Ive found the other Thomas's death on freeBMD (not on ancestry!!!!) as 1868

Our line goes though their daughter Mary Ann b 1832 in Bethnal Green

I understood what you meant, but where have you seen this? all I can find on Ancestry is the record of the banns. The actual marriage would be a real gem!

I'm not sure I have any real evidence that Ann Foot is the wife rather than Ann Green, BUT Ann Foot married Thomas in 1829, their first child was born in 1830, the next 1832, and the next 1834. Ann Green didn't marry her Thomas Yeowell until 1835. That was my logic.

Sue - they're helpfully transcribed as Thomas Sparvell and Anne Hoot

So the Thomas and Ann Yeowell in Hackney 1851 - Class: HO107; Piece: 1505; Folio: 315; Page: 35 - are not yours. He's 30 years older than his Ann and the children's births would all be post 1835 so she's Ann Green.

Yours are the other ones, who are in Bethnal Green. Piece: 1539; Folio: 552; Page: 24 - they have the children all born before 1835.

I think that may be your Thomas' burial then but not Ann. He's address is given as Gloucester Street, Hackney Road. Are you able to see the image?

[Asa]

That must be right, Maggie - the 1868 burial is for the older Thomas born c1780 in Chertsey who married Ann Green

[Asa]

Ah, the two Thomases are father and son aren't they? The older Thomas marries Mary Macer in 1803 in Shoreditch, son Thomas is baptised 1804 in Rotherhithe. The younger Thomas marries Ann Foot in Spitalfields in 1829. His mother Mary is buried in Hackney in 1833 and Thomas senior marries Ann Green in 1835.

Is that right?

errr there's another Thomas and Ann floating about in Hackney other than those two! So it's confusing but it might be you're right about that Thomas and Sue's Thomas' relationship.

Sue's - occupation printer/compositor:

and another lot occupation Labourer/Bricklayer.

Edit actually that's your one but I'm sure there's another lot... I am getting confused

I have found a Robert Foot on census married to a Dinah about the same age as Ann but I can't link any baptisms between a Robert and Ann.
