George Henry Land, John Land and Their Mother, Mary Ann Land, in Batley Yorkshire and in Philadelphia, Pa.

George Henry Land (born in Batley, England circa 1859 per English censuses), John Land born in Batley, England circa 1863 per English censuses) and their Irish born mother, Mary Ann, were listed in the 1871 and 1881 censuses in Batley, England. In both censuses Mary Ann Land is listed as married but no husband is listed.

Notes:

  • I could not find Mary Ann or George in the 1861 census in England.

  • There were no standout marriages listed on Free BMD between 1855 and 1859 for Samuel Land and Mary Ann Smyth. I checked all Dewsbury, Bradford, Wakefield and Leeds.

  • There were no birth records on Free BMD for George Land or John Land in Dewsbury (the district covering Batley) between Mar 1858 and Dec 1863. Unfortunately, the parish records as filmed by LDS more or less stop at 1850 and there is the question, since they were Irish; would they have been Roman Catholic?

1861 Census England

Did not find them.

1871 Census Batley, England

Batley, Up Lane with William Guider age 38 tea dealer and grocer, born Ireland, and his family, including his wife, Margaret, age 35 born Ireland, Mary A "Lanes" sister in law, married age 37, rag sorter, born Ireland, John "Land", boarder, age 9, born Batley, George "Land", boarder age 14, piecner born Batley. (There is also a person listed as a "lodger" versus boarder.)

Notes:

  • It can be inferred from the 1871 census that Mary Ann was the sister of Margaret _______ Guider. Free BMD does not list a marriage of William Guider to Margaret in the right time frame. There is a marriage of William Guider Dewsbury 9b [35]93, Dec 1857 but no wife is listed. There were no births listed for Guider between Mar 1858 and Dec 1861.

  • William Guilder was listed in other censuses but the listings do not give any further clues to Mary Ann Smyth Land: William Guider, head, age 30, stone setter, born Ireland, his wife Margaret age 25, son Edward age 2 and a boarder, Mary Turvy, unmarried, age 26, house servant, born Ireland were listed in Up Lane, Batley in 1861. They were listed in the 1881 census in Low Lane, Gomersall. William age 50, insurance agent, Margaret age 43 were born Ireland their 6 children were born in Batley.

  • In August 2014 Sara Billerey wrote: that she was the descendant of Margaret Anne Guider born circa 1875 in Batley. Margaret Anne was the youngest of six children of William and Margaret Guider.

1881 Census Batley, England

Keighley building Batley: Mary Ann Land, married, age 44, burler, woolen, born Ireland, John Land, son age 18, spinner, born Batley, George Land, age 21, spinner, born Batley

Notes:

  • They are right next to others born in Ireland including Hugh Kelly and his wife Bridget and children. Is this relevant? There are quite a few people born Ireland on this page. There are also people right after them born in Ireland.
  • She is listed as married; where is the husband? And more importantly, who is the husband?
  • The ages are off between the1871 and 1881 censuses, but the combination of Mary Ann born Ireland and the two sons, George and John, born Batley is strong, as is the fact that there are so few Lands in Batley at the time.
  • Despite the commonality of the names, George, John, and Mary Ann Land do not show up in later censuses in England.
1881 Census: Low Lane Gomersall, Birstal, William Guider 50, insurance agent, born Ireland, Margaret Guider 43, born Ireland, Edward Guider 22, grocer, Michael Guider 19, piecer woolen, William Guider 15, piecer woolen, John Guider 13, Mary Jane Guider 9, Margaret Ann Guider 6, children all born Batley.

Sara Billerey wrote:

"Margaret Ann Guider married Edward Brennan and had two children Gertrude and my Grandfather Edward. Edward married Mary Jane Speight (Janie) in 1931 and my mother Mary Brennan was born in 1932.

Mary Anne and George move to Philadelphia and George has several children Edith, Anne Veronica (Annie) about 1890 and Maurice. Annie marries John Dougherty in ?1907 and their children are Gertrude and my father, John William, born in 1913."
