Thread: John James SNOWLING

I am researching a John James SNOWLING, baptized on 17th July 1814 at St Michael's in Broome Norfolk son of James SNOWLING and Mary Amynta Mintifer PARSONS, latter baptized at St Michael's Aslacton Norfolk on 11 July 1779 and died Q4 1862.

I believe he married a Anne REEDER on 25th September 1831 at the Holy Trinity Parish Church in Loddon Norfolk. He later married my 2nd great grand aunt, Mary CLARK on 30th November 1849 in St Pancras London and I have them in the 1851 Census at 47 London Street St Pancras Marylebone London. I can't find John in 1841 Census and can't find anything after 1851 Census.

As a widower, he could have married again to Martha Bishop on 5 June 1865 at Holy Trinity Marylebone Road Westminster London. Groom's Father is also James SNOWLING. If he did remarry for the 3rd time can anyone find them in a Census for more information? The father James' occupation on the marriage certificate is Grocer but in the Census' he is an Agricultural Labourer so maybe it isn't the right John SNOWLING.

I would like to find Census entries for John J SNOWLING and Mary CLARK and their death records. What happened to them, I wonder? Did they emigrate? I have been baffled for ages and it's stopping me progressing.

** Was he an Inn Keeper? There are lots of hits on a John Snowling born circa 1815 in Chedgrave, Norfolk who married a Mary Ann born in Loddon, Norfolk. It's not a very common name. **

How do you get these replies to link to the original posting. This is a reply to message #41. It should not be a seperate post.


It works like this because you are replying to a thread not an individual post, therefore any reply will join the end of the queue. Once the original query is moved to it's own thread any replies like this will be moved to the correct place.
I hope this clarifies it for you.

Thanks Chris, but I have got this Death Certificate. Wife is Mary Ann DAVY. (See 1891 Census) Not the correct John Snowling.
