Thank you Glitter Bay

I wondered where Hannah was. In 1901 Hannah is born in North Ormesby

No wonder we cant find people when they put North Ormesby in Norfolk. Does it say that on the image?

GlitterBaby

GlitterBaby Report 3 Mar 2011 00:24

I think that Norfolk was written in a different hand writing and possibly added later

I'm sure you have this ..... but according to several Public Family trees on ancestry, PRASEL is really PRISCILLA

They all show Samuel Swenson married Priscilla Leckenby in 1880, possibly March


but I can't find it on freebmd


it was Prasel on the image, so I guess that is how the enumerator heard it!!!!



EDIT:- SUCCESS!!!

One tree shows that Samuel and Prscilla had 4 children:-


Charles Thomas Swenson
1881 –

Elizabeth Florence Swenson
1883 –

Samuel Swainson
1885 –

Herbert Swenson
1888 – 1945



and then this story was attached to that tree:-

In 1891 The 3 boys were listed as living in the Middlesborough Union Workhouse as "Inmates". The oldest would have been 10 and the youngest three. From there they went to the Annie Macpherson Home. On March 29, 1894 the boys sailed to Canada aboard the SS Sarnia. They arrived in Halifax on April 9, 1894. They were British Home Children. The Canadian Department of Agriculture paid $2.00 for each child and they were sent to farms across Canada to serve as indentured labourers. They were separated and it is not known if they ever had contact with eachother again.



I don't understand this at all

Priscilla apparently died 1915, and Samuel in 1907.



out of interest, this is the 1891 Census for the boys

Name: Charles Thomas Swainson
Age: 10
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1881
Relation: Inmate
Gender: Male
Where born: Middlesborough, Yorkshire, England

Civil parish: Linthorpe
Ecclesiastical parish: Linthorpe St Barnabas
Town: Linthorpe
County/Island: Yorkshire
Country: England

Registration district: Middlesbrough
Sub-registration district: Middlesbrough

.
.
.
Charles Thomas Swainson 10
Samuel Swainson 5
Herbert Swainson 4
.
.

The boys are not identified as Orphan, as are several others on the same page


and the surname is Swainson on the census image.

Thank you Sylvia. Thats a great help
Here is the Samuel you found in 1861

birth mistranscribed Samuel Edward Sevenson 1857 dec qt Sunderland

It was very strange his children are in the workhouse when he and Priscilla didnt die till later.

I wonder where Samuel and Priscilla were in 1891. Also Priscilla in1901

Hi Quinsgran


I found this last night, but didn't post it, because I wasn't sure what you ahd and didn't have, and so I didn't want to do too much duplication

1891 Census

Name: Samuel Swenson
Age: 32
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1859
Relation: Crew
Gender: Male
Where born: Sunderland, Durham, England

Civil parish: Vessels
Town: Tyne Dock South Shields
County/Island: Durham
Country: England

Registration district: South Shields
Sub-registration district: South Shields
ED, institution, or vessel: Caedmon of Whitby

Joseph Nelson Hursh 51 <<<< Master of the ship "Samanes"
Mary Jane Hursh 42
.
.
.
James Baxter 38 <<< Master of s/s Caedmon of Whitby
William Emmerson 42
David Jones 38
Richard Hogg 54
John Charles Avery 23
William Keigwin 48
Ann Keigwin 49
Thomas Johnson 41
Robert Emmerson 23
William Bell 21
Antona Johnson 30
Carl Hansen 39
Hedley Blckey 16
Samuel Swenson 32 <<<<< Fireman
.
.
.

the ship S/S "Caedmon of Whitby" seemingly had a HUGE crew .............. around 100 men!

AH ....... looked at the image, and it seems that the record page has combined the crews of several ships together!!!




so Samuel was on a ship at Tyne Dock on census night



1901 is needing some searching

SylviaInCanada Report 3 Mar 2011 21:11

Priscilla turns up easily in 1901 .... will need a bit more searching for 1891



1901 Census

Name: Priscilla Swanson
Age: 39
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1862
Relation: Housekeeper
Gender: Female
Where born: Bp Auckland, Durham, England

Civil parish: Middlesbrough
Ecclesiastical parish: St Barnabas
Town: Middlesbrough
County/Island: Yorkshire

Registration district: Middlesbrough
Sub-registration district: Middlesbrough

James Miller 39 b.ca 1862, Bristol, Gloucestershire, Widower, Brick yard Labourer
Priscilla Miller 10 b.ca 1891, Scotland
Eliza Miller 1 b.ca 1900, Hartlepool, Durham
Priscilla Swanson 39
Elizabeth Swanson 18 b.ca 1883, Middlesboro

Address:- 16 Emmerson St


Someone has added Alternative Information to Elizabeth Swanson:- [Elizabeth Miller], father James Miller

...... but I think this is in error. On the actual image, she is listed after Priscilla, and is shown as daughter ..... but I really think that this means daughter of Priscilla NOT daughter of James
