Mary Jane Wilson

[MayBea]

Her other brother William had already gotten married and emigrated to Australia by 1866.

She'd have been 11 when he married and 12 when he left the country, so brother Henry was really the only brother she knew.

P.S. By 1871, cotton broker, Augustus Agelasto, was in London and Angelica and her second husband, John Peyton, were living next door to her parents on Horatio street. By 1881, she is living in Westminster on the same street as her brother, tailor/fixer tiler Robert Gould/Gold.

All these family members are very interesting but where is Mary Jane Wilson after 1881.
Have I missed something?

I'm confident this is Mary Wilson in 1881.

Are you asking me where she was after 1881, miss marple?

[MayBea]

Mary Wilson's sister, Amelia, was a milk maid who married a milk dealer in Birkenhead in 1877. George Dixon died in 1880 but not before they had a son George the same year.

1881 Census

Tranmere Cheshire
Birkenhead
101 Peel St.
John Dixon 65
Ann Dixon 68
Ellen Dixon 14
Ann A. Dixon daughter in law, widow, 29 milk dealer (seller)
George Dixon 1
Mary Kelly 60 visitor

Ann had George the same year Mary had Christina so I'm betting they visited each other. Their mother was visiting in Birkenhead in 1881.

If Mary did go, then she may or may not be the MJK in Birkenhead that retired policeman George West tipped the London police about, the one who was there with her mother and begging with a child.

[MayBea]

The only record of Mary Wilson after 1881 is the birth register of her son, William John Wilson, registered in October of 1887 in Liverpool.

She ostensibly disappears from the records after that, presumably dying sometime between October of 1887 and August of 1890, the time her daughter was admitted to an orphanage.

Entry was:
Christina Wilson, admitted on 13 aug 1890 weighing 59lb, born 1880, Church of England, admitted to Girls Home No. 4, then transferred to no.20, nearest relation grandmother Mrs Kelly of 2 Sparling St, Orphan, only once admitted to home, discharged 28/9/1892 weighing 79lb, taken by Miss Morse to Mr Graham, Lake Road, Ambleside, Westmorland.

Christina's father died in January of 1890. Ann Dixon died in the first quarter of 1888.

[MayBea]

The idea of Mary Kelly going home, wherever that is, to leave her child with relatives, isn't out of the question.

This is what Casebook member, Madam Red, wrote about Mary Kelly in 2010:

...if she had a small child when Davies supposedly died, and if Mary wasn't able to care for him/her, then she was faced with at least four-ok, five options:

1) Leave the child with relatives.

2) Orphanage, although only "respectable" children from "respectable" parents were allowed in.

3) Workhouse.

4) Paid Adoption, risking your offspring's life on the chance that this caregiver is a Baby Farmer.

5) Infantcide.

Brother Henry

Good evening MayBea,

From this thread, thank you - her brother Henry, born 1848, and in the Kelly family census 51 & 61 and he married Emmeline Gould, both of Horatio St.

Is this his new family in the 1881 census at that street? (click) (another age problem?) And do you see him in any further returns please?

Hi Roy,

Henry Kelly's age on the 1881 census is a transcriber's error. In
1891, the name was misread. Here's the same family in 1891:

I believe this is Ann's BMD record for her second marriage. Can certificates still be ordered with "spouse not found"?

DAGNALL Henry Birkenhead 8a

Spouse not found.

Dixon Ann Amelia Birkenhead 8a 635



Here are the BMD Death records for her sister, Ann, and brother, Henry.

You only need one name, and the registry entry (parish+volume+page), which appears to be there. Strange they couldn't find the spouse though.

Do you order through the passport office? They're usually cheaper than local councils.

Henry Dagnall Marriage

I would imagine it was not connected with Amelia as the page number seems to be missing on Henrys page ?

...Do you order through the passport office? They're usually cheaper than local councils.

Yes, I order through the GRO. Unfortunately, the online order form is not available today.

I'm planning to order Ann's marriage certificates for 1885 and 1877, for marriages to Henry Dagnall and George Dixon respectively, to see if Mary Jane Wilson shows up as a witness.

[MayBea]

The certificates are ordered now. (It was only the online contact form that they said was out of service.) We have something to look forward to.

I put priority on the Dagnall/Dixon record. It should still take two or three weeks to arrive.
