rocco 2 Posted February 8, 2021 Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 I am looking for anyone who has this lady in their family tree who married my french 3 x great grandfather Oscar Cadet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAVIDW 1,683 Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 No relation but can see their marriage and them later living Yorkshire in 1901 and 1911 . See he was from St.Omer . Maybe she went with her parents working in the Calais lace industry and met him there ? Can't see a birth for Fanny in Nottingham around 1846 (her given birthdate) neither is she obvious on any earlier Census. There is a report of Oscar Cadet being beaten up by three thugs in Denman Street in 1884 . The thugs yelled "There's the Frenchman" and one gave him a kick in the face that broke Oscar's jaw . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
annswabey 599 Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 I'm not related, but if the problem is not being able to find her birth or entries in the census 1851 onwards, do you have the marriage cert to Oscar, which should give her father's name, unless illegitimate 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAVIDW 1,683 Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 Re-reading the post heading noticed the Smithurst name . This one may be her , mothers maiden name Marshall. SMITHURST, FRANCES MARSHALL GRO Reference: 1845 S Quarter in NOTTINGHAM Volume 15 Page 564 In the 1851 Census she is living with her uncle Josh Lokes at St.Mary Street .

rocco 2 Posted February 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 Fanny's (Frances) father was Joseph Smithurst. She was a widow when she married Oscar with the surname Hambleton. They married on 19/1/1884. David - I've been told about that attack on him before, it's very sad. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rocco 2 Posted February 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 Thanks David. I've only just seen this message from Tuesday 9th Feb. I didn't know any of it as I've only recently started on this side of the family. Many thanks 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
