Thankful Thursday - Happy Birthday Jason!!

Happy Birthday Jason

& many many more

What a delight!

My second son is born on a Thursday January 22, 1976 in Sacramento, California at the hospital on Mather Air Force Base....... he'd been waiting 9 months to arrive and he didn't wait too long once it was time. He was anxious to meet the outside world. A bouncing healthy baby boy. His big brother was anxious to see what a brother was and when he could play with him..........

Welcome to the world Jason Gardner Aberle... what a lot of fun you have been over these many years...... 39 years later I find I see an awesome loving young man, smart, handsome and full of energy.

(1980-81 about 5yrs)

A son, brother, nephew, grandson, uncle, father, husband and a friend to many.............. and you can tell he is a 49er Fan.... actually he is a sportsaholic but getting better as the years go along and his relationships develop.

I think my job is done............... or is it?

Wishful Wednesday -continuing with #7 Jane Eliza LITTLE - Death

I did also locate a death record for Jane Eliza's father Isaac.... I did not locate one for her mother Jane. BUT......................

everyone up - HAPPY DANCE!!! Happy DANCE!!!

While "Googling" I entered "Jane Eliza Wilson tombstone Cumberland England" a couple of items popped up......... this one gave me the resting place of many generations of Little/Wilson's and Wilson/ Greenup and Greenup/? ....... This booklet is only of this church and its cemetery inside the church and outside.......... unfortunately there are no pictures of the gravestones but now I know where to write/email too request them in the future. (OMG GOOGLE is my friend)

Caldbeck & District Local History Society (C&DLHS) undertook another survey in

the early 1990s, which they completed and published as

MONUMENTAL INSCRIPTIONS IN THE
CHURCH AND CHURCHYARD OF ST KENTIGERN’S
CALDBECK CUMBRIA

in 1996. (they did another update in 2000 which is included in the booklet that I downloaded)

John Greenup Wilson died 28 Feb 1923 aged 75 years and
his wife Jane Eliza (LITTLE) Wilson died at TOWN END HALTCLIFF 20 Jan 1936 aged 90 years

also listed was John Greenup Wilson's parents....
John Wilson died of STONE ENDS HOUSE died 13 July 1857 aged 50 years and
his wife Ann Greenup died 22 August 1847 aged 28 years

also listed was Ann Greenup's parents...
John Greenup died 3 June 1845 aged 76 years and
his wife Ann ( ) died Oct 12, 1882 aged 96 years

also listed is Any Isobel their granddaughter and wife of Robert Hall who died at THRANG CRAGG, MARTINDALE July 28th 1919 aged 37 years (John & Jane's daughter) Robert Hall is not listed.

On another page I found another child of John & Jane.........
Edwin James Wilson died at TOWN END HALTCLIFFE February 1946 aged 69 years. Also of Sarah his wife who died 13th October 1968 aged 86 years.

Here is part of page 41 from above (second column) ........... in the first column are dozens more Greenup's that I am sure are somehow related to my John Greeup's family....... but for now this is as far as I go with the Greenup family...........

CENSUS: I have been very lucky to find a census for every year one was published from 1851 to 1911......... I believe Jane lived a little over 20 years longer but England has only released their census through 1911 so far.

1851 ISAAC LITTLE 45 (abt 1806) HEAD; spouses name: Jane; gender: male; where born; Castle Sowerby, Cumberland, England; civil parish: Bassenthwaite; county/island: Cumberland; country: England; registration district: cockermouth; sub-registration district: Keswick; ED: 4a; household schedule #: 30; Others in resident:
Jane wife 38 Cumberland, Greystone
Isaac son 10 Cumberland, Castle Sowerby scholar
Hudson son 7 Cumberland, Bassenthwaite scholar
Jane Eliza dau 5 Cumberland, Bassenthwaite
===================

1861 UK Census......... Jane is found in the Mounsey family home as a servant. She is only 15 at the time and is a servant. I cannot imagine my sons out working on their own at age 15 but in those days this seems to be common place. I do have other ancestors with the family surname of MOUNSEY so I will be checking to see if these families cross.........

I do have a Robert Mounsey same age as Jane. Robert is married to a Mary Wilson (is she related to John G Wilson?). Son of Mr Mounsey and Eliza ?. He is originally from England and ended up in New York, Cortland County....... So maybe it is not such a small world after all.

===============================

1871 UK Census finds Jane E Little married to John Greenup Wilson and starting a family........ she also has a servant in the home who is the same age as she is.

==============================

1881 UK Census shows Jane Eliza Wilson with family in the same place....... with a growing family. Looks like the homestead is called "Stone Ends Home" and it is a farm of some sort. Looks like all the children so far were born at home. 5 children listed. Now that is a hard life....... you are definitely on your own.

=====================================

1891 UK Census ..... again finds Jane Eliza Wilson with husband and family in the same place...... there are 2 more children for a total of 7.

===============================

1901 UK Census ...... again I found Jane Eliza Wilson with husband and a fraction of the children.... Only three children remain in the home and all are adults- they are all listed as farm workers ...... it seems that Gertrude should still be listed but she's not listed- she would be 14 in 1901. Did she die? Or did she go to work somewhere else? Another mystery.

.....and the last UK census available from UK 1911..... Jane Eliza Wilson with husband and one son and another young male.....a Robert Strony - I believe this is Robert Strong. I do have another Strong in the family tree but not Robert. I have a John Strong that married Jane's first sister Mary. Maybe related or not!! Edwin was out of the house in the 1901 census but is back in the 1911 census.

I can hardly wait till the 1921 UK census is released - so that would be 2021(only 6 years to wait)

I have collected the 1851, 1861, 1871, 1881, 1891, 1901, 1911 UK census for Jane Eliza Little. Unfortunately for me I believe 1911 is the last census England has released so far..........
