Hello: From the little I can see: [Speculation]: [George Nicholson b:1834] m:1855 [Sarah Allen bp:25-11-1835]. [1861C: Sarah Nicholson visiting Edward Nicholson (b:c1824) as a married 'aunt', Turbary, Epworth, Lincolnshire]: I would check this note, since this does not make sense. There seems ??? to be one [Edward Nicholson b:1855] son of [John + Maria Nicholson] living there!. It would be this [Edward Nicholson b:1855] that [Sarah Nicholson] would be aunt to ?. Which makes this [John Maria Nicholson] a brother or first cousin to your [George Nicholson]. [Turbury] is a road just west of Epworth. It 'seems' your [George Nicholson] is there in Epworth in the 1861C: === 1861C: Name: George Nicholson Birth: 1835 - Epworth , Lincolnshire, England* Residence: 1861 - Epworth , Lincolnshire, England *It is only the b. place that is given incorrectly!. === Then there is a d:04-09-1868 Epworth for [Sarah Nicholson] aet32y, seems to be his wife ?. Also one [George Nicholson] d:04-1919 Epworth, seems to be himself ?. It seems it is all just happening in Epworth. Looking at the spread of d. dates, I would think there was something very contagious here. Bart.

Hi Hilary, there was also a large Nickelson family that came from the Billingborough / Hoblin area of Lincolnshire, in fact one of them married into the Beckett family from Wellingore, this is going back to the 1780's. Just a thought /possible clue, to look at.

Since George was not in the 1861 census, I still think he may have left the family and emigrated. Family breakdown could have occurred after the death of young Fred.

Hilary There is a tree on Ancestry which gives sources and has George living in Epworth in 1861, RG9/3523/17, lodging in Back Lane with Francis Quin. There are discrepancies in the census entry; George is shown as unmarried and born in Epworth, but it could well be him. It would appear also from the same tree that Sarah was shown as George's wife on her death certificate, so it would seem that he was still alive at that time.

There is a George Nicholson on the 1861 Epworth census but he is shown as an unmarried 26 year old ag lab boarding with Francis Quinn. Maybe he left his wife and family? Eric

Hi, Missing Lincs, Have you cleaned that computer screen lately? Too many periods showing up because of black spots on the screen? There. That's better! It's time to remind you not to let your thinking get in the way of fact finding. Do you believe that your family tree is ethnically pure? Then it's time to think outside your mental boundaries. "No one in my family ever went to the workhouse." Bull. A lot of us have kin who spent some time in the workhouse. It wasn't just for abject poverty cases. Many women used the workhouse as a maternity hospital. Cheap, fully staffed and medical resources if they were needed. Some elders went there when there was no family to care for them. "All my ancestors are English." Not too likely. We had Irish navies working the railways, people from the low countries digging canals and waterways, a few waves of invaders and a reputation as a good place of asylum from religious or ethnic persecution. "My ancestors were good people." So were a lot of the people who were in prison or sent overseas on a prison hulk. It didn't take much in the old days to get a stiff sentence. And, as we discussed last year, some of our ancestors wound up as white slaves. Others found themselves in Italy or India or in South America. Some went places we've never been! So look at alternative sources. You may find a Jewish ancestor, or a Dutch ditch digger, or an Austrian girl brought back after a term in the army. Don't give up because you think they must be local folk. And family stories are often altered, filtered and enhanced. My mother believed she was descended from a Dutch diamond-cutter, but it appears the only part of the story that is true is the Dutch part. My wife believes she is descended from Robert Burns, the poet. But, again, she may only be descended from the Burns family. So, think outside that mental box. How can we help you find that missing person? Lou (list admin.)

According to our Gazetteer Conesby alias Conisby is a hamlet in the parish of West Halton. There are no registers listed for Conesby/Conisby in the Lincolnshire Archives list of parish registers so maybe you need to look at the West Halton registers to see if there is mention of people from Conesby?
