I have my great grandmothers marriage and birth certificates.
My problem is locating her anywhere on the census or indeed any records after her birth.
She was named Nellie Christiana Short Hague born april 1893.
Mothers name Sarah Hague (address 36 Dodworth st Mexborough at time of registration). There is no father on birth certificate.
On the marriage certificate (April 1913) he is named as Joseph Hague (deceased loco fireman).
Any Nellie hagues i find do not have Sarah as the mother.
Can anyone please help with identifying her parents.
It is my understanding she had sisters Clarice and Ethel no luck finding them either.
Any help would be appreciated

Now i am confused!!!
I have had Hudson in my tree as the surname and just deleted them all cos i was convinced it was hague. The Hudson thing is, on reflection correct as my gradma's brother thought his own mothers name was either Hudson or Haigh? as he remembered going to see 'mother Hudson' as a kid she was apparently quite wealthy and had a boarding house in Swinton. The rumour has always been that my great gran was illigitimate, so i am still confused

I guess i better get looking through the records i deleted. thank you so much for finding the info, i have been sat here for 3 hours confused.
thank you again

Your Nellie's birth was registered in Doncaster, so I'd guess that this is Clarice:

Name: Clarice Hague
Year of Registration: 1891
Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep
District: Doncaster
County: Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, Yorkshire - West Riding
Volume: 9c
Page: 752

There are 3 candidates for Ethel, born 1887, 1889 and 1896.

Clarice's birth cert might tell you something.

I wonder. Here's a household in Mexborough in 1891:

Joseph Hague 53 - engine fitter
Sarah Hague 52
Laura Hague 21
Harry Hague 18
Joseph Hague 7 - grandson

Do you suppose that Sarah and Joseph had a daughter Sarah, and the children were hers? The name Joseph on Nellie's marriage certificate could have referred to her grandfather; this was not uncommon in the case of children of single mothers.

Oh duh. That household is on Dodsworth Street. I think we have found the key, if not the solution, to your mystery.

I have to go get ready for lunch with the long-lost cousin who is in town doing research, my first meet with a family member found through GR! So I'll leave you with that tantalizing bit for now. ;)

on edit:

... and I got so distracted while doing that, that there were no replies when I started and I was late to the party when I finished! I was on the Hudson household too, and I think I'll agree with that one!

Sarah married Joseph Hague/ Haigh.They had Ada, Ethel & Nellie.

Joseph died.

Sarah then married John Hudson

Terril

Looking at Nellie's full name.....

Could the 'Short' be a clue to her real father's surname?

Chris

Clear as mud
But i'm getting there
I have just ordered marriage cert for sarah hague and john h hudson.
It would appear he was married before too as living with rellies in 1891 as widower. the plot thickens
Thankyou again

i thought that

Might this be a death for Joseph?

Joseph Haigh
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1861
Year of Registration: 1891
Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun
Age at Death: 30
District: Doncaster
County: Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, Yorkshire - West Riding
Volume: 9c
Page: 676

which would make Clarice his daughter but not Nellie

Andy

Could well be.
Me thinks Sarah put it about

Marriage for Joseph and Sarah

Joseph Hague
Year of Registration: 1886
Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar
District: Rotherham
County: Derbyshire, South Yorkshire, Yorkshire - West Riding
Volume: 9c
Page: 709

Sarah Spriggs

Andy

Andy you are mustard!!!
Can't believe you found that i had it all along and deleted it from my tree this aft thinking i was completely wrong, i had only guessed from research but guess i forgot when i deleted it
thankyou for re finding it

Ok i have it now
Sarah Spriggs marries joseph Hague
Joseph dies and as the family secret is born out my grandmother is illegitimate -supposedly a travelling sales man from scotland/ ireland hence the red hair in the family.
She then marries John Henry Hudson
And the rest is history plenty for me to look at
Thank you all for your efforts.
