Possible bride is Ellen Maria Piddell
So Hubert could be her son

wow - hadnt thought of a second marriage for Francis - I thought he must have died prior to the 1891 census as Harriet was a 'widow' then.

Is it pos please for someone to find in the 1891 census:

Francis Snoad, Ellen & their son Hubert - to see where they are & what they are doing & to try to confirm if this is the same Francis Snoad that was once married to Harriet???

Many thanks

Deaths Jun 1887
Snoad Ellen Maria 49 London C 1c 20

So .....the plot thickens - It would appear that Ellen Piddell first married Charles, White, Robertson, Stagg in 1858 - he is 15 years older than her! - They have a son in 1860, also called Charles. Then another son , Henry in 1865.

In 1871 census - Ellens husband Charles is not with them ( he may have died or left her?)

Would be interesting to see if we can find him in 1871/1881 etc(?)

In 1875 she marrys Francis Snoad - BUT, in the 1881 census they are showing a son living with them - Hubert aged 17 - that would make his birth
c 1864 (?)

I also need to find Francis Snoad, Ellen & their son Hubert in the 1891 census.

All ideas welcome
thanks again for your help
Gill

I found Ellen's death, check at the bottom of my last message.

Oooop's ...sorry, missed the last bit
Deaths Jun 1887
Snoad Ellen Maria 49 London C 1c 20

So, I am still looking for Francis Snoad & Hubert in 1891.
AND
Ellens first husband Charles in 1871/1881 etc(?)
OR his death.
Not forgetting their children Charles & Henry.....where did they go?

I love a puzzle.....Thanks again
Gill

Perhaps Charles left Ellen.

It does sound like it COULD be him , but the age is way out & it says he was born in Durham - I dont have that connection at all (?)

This looks like it could be Francis Snoad's death - age is about right:

No sign of Hubert!

David

Gillian, just read your last message. You say Charles is from Durham & you have no connection with there, but then you didn't know about Ellen either.

Good work from David to find him in 1891. I wonder why that didn't come up in my search?

Ozi.

Where did Charles & Henry/Hubert go? Can't find Henry.

[I haven't put in the household as it's huge.]

Perhaps he's at sea in 1891 as I can't find him.

Ozi,

In case you read this, Francis Snoad was listed on the Ancestry.co.uk 1891 census index as Snoa D (space and capital D - dunno why). I searched on Franc* Sno* with the dob +or- 5 years, and that got him.

David.

Hi Guys

Only just picked up your replies on my thread -
thank you so much for all your hard work - really appreciate it.
I will work through & digest - & will come back to you a little later .
Thanks again

Stagg Charles White Robertson Strand 1b 407
Wisdom Mary Ann Clerkenwell 1b 407

I know it sounds odd - but
is it at all possible that Ellen Piddell married James Matthews???

as I do have a Matthews connection in my tree????
Gill

Now Gill, I think there's a bit of surname-ism creeping in here. What's wrong with Piddle, er ... sorry, Piddell?

We know that the very distinctive Charles W R Stagg was married to an Ellen Maria not a Mary Ann, and Ellen Stagg & children were living with a Sarah Piddell in 1871.

Also there's this in the Strand reg'n district in 1861:
James Matthews Mary A abt 1827 Reading, Berkshire, England Head Westminster St Clement Danes, Middlesex

Not that it proves anything.

It would be understandable that you don't have any connections to Piddells as you didn't know about Francis's marriage to Ellen & it doesn't look as if they had any children.

David - thanks for that. I did a very similar search but with an age range of 10+/-. I must've missed it.

Ozi.

Gill, I've just been re-reading the thread & I got the impression you thought Harriet was a widow in 1891. I think there are 2 Harriet Snoads. One in London & one in Kent. Francis, the baker, is always living around London & I think this is Harriet's death.

Harriet Snoad abt 1822 [birth date] 1872 [death date] Jan-Feb-Mar Lambeth Greater London, London, Surrey.

That marriage you had for a Mary Ann Snoad in West Ashford, I think is connected to the Kent family. Though as Francis is shown as born in Canterbury in most of the censuses they could be closely related [cousins?]

Ozi.

BTW - do you realize that Minnie Snoad c1856 is actually Harriet Minnie?
