Children of Ralph Inskur & Caroline Lowe

Post by expat66 »

Started to add this census info.. to BCC here...
http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/fa ... kur-Family

Then realised that with Ralph and Caroline not having married until 1873.. I needed to take a close look at Alice and Caroline Insker... both born before 1873 :?

Need some help to sort this out please :roll: ...

1881 census...Titford Lane, Cakemore, Worcestershire, England
Ralph Insker,35, hd, widower, coal miner born Langley Green,
children.. Alice Insker,14,domestic servant,
Caroline Insker,12,
Mary Ann Insker,8,
Ralph Insker,7,
Samuel Insker,3,
Charles Insker,2..others born Whiteheath

10 Mar 1873 marriage

St Thomas Dudley
looked up at archives by RF..Ralph Inskur (27)bachelor coal miner ..res. Dudley father Charles Inskur (dead) miner.. bride Caroline Lowe (25) spins. res. Dudley..father Samuel Lowe (dead) engineer. both signed the mark of. Wits..William Fisher & Caroline?

Ralph's wife , Caroline died in 1880

I think this is her in 1871 a couple of years before she married Ralph

1871 census
Whiteheath, Rowley Regis, Staffordshire, England
Alfred Hinchker,25,hd, unmarried coal miner born Oldbury,
Caroline Low,22,unmarried, boarder,
Alice Low,4, boarder
Caroline Low,2,boarder
Mercy,7mths,boarder
Fanny Low,60,widow, boarder,born Oldbury
..others all boarders born Rowley Regis

... so are Alice and Caroline ( and maybe Mercy too?) daughters of Caroline Low ( or Lowe)? ... and is Alfred the father?
...and who is Alfred?
Is Hinchker another mispelling of Insker/ Inscker/Inskur ( all derived from the name 'Ainscough') :?

1861 census
Whiteheath, Rowley Regis, Staffordshire, England
Samuel Lowe,66,hd,married, enginesmith,
Fanny,56,wife, nailmaker,
Sarah,16, nailmaker,
Caroline,12, nailmaker..all born Rowley Regis

1851 census
Whiteheathgate, Rowley Regis, Staffordshire, England
Fanny Lowe,42, hd, married, born Oldbury,
Mary Ann,9,
Sarah,4,
Caroline,2,
Ann Willetts,84, widow, mother, pauper .. all born Rowley Regis

Was the mother Fanny Lowe's maiden name Willetts?

What do you think?

Think this might be the same family as that first 1911 census...in Lewisham St... there are lots of crossings out on the census where birthplace should be... but I think it reads Slough for William Evans? ( 'Ancestry just went with 'England')

1901...Whiteheath, Rowley Regis, Staffordshire, England
William Evans,36,hd, married, coal dealer b.Slough, England
Caroline,34,wife b.Rowley Regis,
Annie,14,daughter Born Langley,
William,13 b.West Brom,
Mary,8, daughter
& Dorothy,3 ,daughter,both born Whiteheath

Firstly....
Thankyou for your input snoopysue :grin:

Going back to that 1871 census ... I have a new theory... I think Ralph sometimes uses the name Alfred :wink:

1871 census
Whiteheath, Rowley Regis, Staffordshire, England
Alfred Hinchker,25,hd, unmarried coal miner born Oldbury, (I think Hinchker should be Inskur)
Caroline Low,22,unmarried, boarder,
Alice Low,4, boarder
Caroline Low,2,boarder
Mercy,7mths,boarder
Fanny Low,60,widow, boarder,born Oldbury
..others all boarders born Rowley Regis

I think the Alfred in the above census is Ralph Inskur

1881...Titford Lane, Cakemore, Worcestershire, England
Ralph Insker,35, hd, widower, coal miner born Langley Green,
children.. Alice,14,domestic servant,
Caroline Insker,12, daughter
Mary Ann Insker ,8, daughter
Ralph Insker ,7, son
Samuel Insker ,3, son
Charles Insker ,2, son..others born Whiteheath

I think he remarries in 1889...
1889....BURKE Annie JUSKEEN Ralph West Bromwich Register Office (WBRO) Sandwell Register Office WBRO/19/167

I think that name Juskeen is a mispelling?

Then in 1891 we have..
24 Arden Grove, Oldbury, Worcestershire, England
Alfred Insker,45,marr,coal miner, ('Ancestry have name transcribed as 'Mecker')
Annie,41,wife..both b.Oldbury,
Polly,18,daughter
& Ralph,17,son..lab.in b/wrks..both b.Dudley,
Samuel,13 b.Halesowen,
stepsons..John Burke,18 born Lancs.& Joseph Burke,16, born Oldbury. both labourers in ironwrks

1901..26 Arden Grove, Oldbury, Worcestershire, England
Ralph Insker,54, hd, married, labourer chemical born Langley,(name on 'Ancestry transcribed as 'Jusker')
Annie,52, wife born Oldbury,
Eleanor Feeney,83, mother-in-law, widow born Roscommen, Ireland

1911..68 Clay Lane, Langley, Oldbury
Ralph Insker, 68,hd, married, pensioner retired labourer born Langley,
Any Insker, 65, wife, married 21 yrs born Oldbury

Do you think that makes sense?
The spelling of this surname is a nightmare :roll:

It looks like Caroline and Mercy were rigistered as Lowe, unless you buy the cert you wont know what was put as Father.

They need to be added as Lowe on BCC as they seem to be registered like that with a note.

Looks like Mercys death
Mercy Lowe age, 1, Oct-Nov-Dec 1871 Dudley Staffordshire 6c 2

hard finding the others...
