Notes for Jonathan Bartholomew
His birth:

Name Jonathan Bartholomew
District Newmarket, Cambridgeshire
Page 512
Volume 4A
Registered April - June 1856
________________

He was royally confused with his cousin, another Jonathan Bartholomew who was four years older and came to live in Newmarket and appeared in the various public records.

On the other hand this Jonathan only appeared in the 1861 census when he was 4.  He does not appear in the 1871 or 1881 censuses and is then only found at his death in Newmarket district:

Surname   First name(s)   Age   District   Vol  Page
Deaths Sep 1886   (>99%)
Bartholomew Jonathan 30 Newmarket 3b 334
_______________

He is not to be found

On FreeBMD there is a Jonathan Bartholomew who death was registered in Newmarket in jul-Sep 1886 aged 30, Vol 3b, p. 334.  This looks like our lad, so I’ve included this.  BUT SEE BELOW!!!



There is also a marriage of a Jonathan Bartholomew in Q3 of 1877 at Mildenhall (includes Kentford) to Anna Maria Payne.  Did they have any little Bartholomews?  Might this mean that his sister Sarah is no longer a genetic heiress?!!!

There is no Jonathan Bartholomew in the 1881 census to clarify this.  Rubbish!  Here he is with a son and daughter, though it looks like his mother-in-law had married for a second time:

Surname Forename Age Relation Occupation Birth Place

Bartholomew Jonathan 28 Head        Head Stableman  Kentford, Suffolk
Bartholomew Anna M 24 Wife        Dress Maker  Kentford, Suffolk
Bartholomew Bertram 2 Son Scholar    Kentford, Suffolk
Bartholomew Bessie M 2 Daughter    Kentford, Suffolk
Wake Mary 62 Mother In Law   Monthly Nurse Wickhambrook, Suffolk
Turner Emily M 2 Nurse Child Newmarket, Suffolk

Ref: RG11/1845/F?

Address: Main Street
Parish: Kentford
Registration District: Mildenhall

On mature thought this family, from Janathan’s age and place of birth, looks more like that of his cousin.
