Find Ancestors

You've got me even more curious about your William Sessions now Jenny lol, I'll have another search and see if anything else comes up! Will post back if I find anything... Take care, Louise

Thanks once again Louise Would love the image and have e-mailed you direct. William Sessions I know was a skipper in his later life so maybe he was on board that night and they never bothered with the census. I guess if it wasn't a very large vessle they might not have put much importance on the census. Little did they know we would spend hours pouring over their details!! Best wishes and thank you Jenny

Helen, have emailed the image to you :O) Anybody else need a search now I'm all caught up? Louise

Hi Kerry, 1871 Alethea Goodlad 1866 Warsop, Nottinghamshire, England Daughter Eckington Derbyshire Arthur Goodlad 1868 Eckington, Derbyshire, England Son Eckington Derbyshire Clara Goodlad 1864 Warsop, Nottinghamshire, England Daughter Eckington Derbyshire Hannah Goodlad 1838 Norton, Nottinghamshire, England Wife Eckington Derbyshire Isabella Goodlad 1860 Conisbrough, Yorkshire, England Daughter Eckington Derbyshire Walter Goodlad 1833 Conisbrough, Yorkshire, England Head Eckington Derbyshire Walter Goodlad 1870 Eckington, Derbyshire, England Son Eckington Derbyshire Father was a 'coke washer' and the family were living in Althorpe, Eckington, Derbys. If you want the image, please let me have your email addie and quote 'Goodlad' Louise :O)

Hi Roderic, As the names are so unusual, I'm wondering how many variants there may be in the records! I did find a birth record as follows, could this be the daughter perhaps? Name: Busch, Emilie Louise Record Type: Births Quarter: September Year: 1879 District: St Saviour Southwark County: London Surrey Volume: 1d Page: 182 (click to see others on page) This could also be the daughter living with her grandfather in 1901: 1901 England Census Henry J Balshaw 39 Liverpool, Lancashire, England Son Battersea London William Balshaw 71 Liverpool, Lancashire, England Head Battersea London Emelie L Busch 20 Newington, London, England Granddaughter Battersea London Anna M Payne 45 London City Servant Battersea London It seems Emelie was a music vocalist, is that posh for singer? ;O) I can't find the mother at all, other than on the 1861 census which you have already. Maybe she died which would explain Emelie living with her grandad :O( Assuming shes the right one! I've saved a copy of the image, please contact me with email address quoting 'Busch' if youd like it! Louise :O)

Hi again Jenny, :O) I think I've found your Henry Revell, but he is listed as Revel. He was a 1st Engineer in 1861 on board the SS Albert. They were in French waters at the time of the census! Obviously no wife details, but all his fellow seaman are listed with him. Listed as married, age 38 and born in Hull, Yorkshire. Drop me a note with your email addie for the image (please quote 'Revel') Name: Henry Revel Age: 38 Estimated birth year: 1823 Relation: 1st Engineer Household: View other family members Gender: Male Where born: Hull, Yorkshire, England Civil parish: Vessels Town: Havre Roadstead France County/Island: Misc Ships at Sea or Abroad Country: England Source information: RG9/4462 Registration district: Misc Ships Sub-registration district: Misc Ships ED, institution, or vessel: Albert (2) Folio: 40 Page: (click to see others on page) Household schedule number: 1 GSU Number: 543289 I'm afraid I wasn't so lucky with your William Sessions in either year though :O( There are one or two that match closely in age, but the areas are all wrong. Sorry about that! Louise

Louise I'm extremely grateful for the KEY lookup. Thanks very much and I have emailed you. Regards Helen

Hi Louise thanks for the kind offer In the 1881 census Mary Busch boarder head m 25 Liverpool Lancs Emily Louisa Busch dau 1 Newington Surrey I am trying to find them on other census and also the husband. Many thanls Rod

Hi Louise It's me again. Hope you don't mind me asking for another lookup? I wonder if you can find a Henry Revell in the 1861 census. He was born in Hull around 1823/24 and his wife's name was Elizabeth, also born Hull. I'm also trying to find a William Sessions born Newark, Notts about 1873/74. I would like to find him in the 1891 and 1901 census. I don't know where he was after the 1881 census but he eventually ended up in Grimsby, Lincs as a fisherman. Many thanks Jenny

Danielle, I'm having no joy with the Kennedy's at all, and there were no Michael's born within 6 years of 1800! Closest match was 1807 but nothing else matched :O( Perhaps they went home to Ireland?! Think I MAY have found Andrew, married to a Honor, so the name is pretty close? Living in London and both born in Ireland. Eliza Coombe 1809 London City Head St Giles without Cripplegate Middlesex Andrew Mahoney 1811 Killmore, Cork, Ireland Head St Giles without Cripplegate Middlesex Honor Mahoney 1831 Mangh, Kerry, Ireland Wife St Giles without Cripplegate Middlesex Jane Smith 1814 Westminster, Middlesex, England Lodger St Giles without Cripplegate Middlesex The image is very faint so the occupation is tough to make out, but looks like it may be as a tailor and his wife was a charwoman? Both living in London City. If you'd like a copy of the image, please PM me with your email addie quoting ref 'Mahoney' :O) Louise

Hi Louise Thank you for the kind offer. Would you be able to check the 1861 for a Michael and Margaret Kennedy, both born in Ireland possibly living in the Holborn area. Michael was born c1800 and was a shoemaker by trade. Also on the 1861 a James and Catherine Kennedy. James was a bootmaker born 1830 in St Andrews Holborn and a Andrew Mahoney (aka Mahony) born Ireland, occupation Tailor in Holborn area, his wife may be a Hanora/Honora. With much thanks Danielle

Hi Helen, This looks like him, living just with his wife: James Key 1827 Northamptonshire, England Head St James Clerkenwell London Maryann Key 1827 White St, Middlesex, England Wife St James Clerkenwell London Image shows his occupation as Merchant Man (?) - well thats how it looks to me lol! Living at 5 xxxx St (possibly Gloucester St?). I've saved the image for you if you want to PM me with your email addie. (Please quote ref 'Key') Louise :O)

Hi Suzie, The closest match I could find shows him living at Forest Row, Pontypridd area, East Glamorgan aged 1. Birth at Eglwysilan (sp?), Glamorgan. Father was James Toby (I think!) and a ship operator. Mother listed as Ann. There are siblings too. Could this be him? My Welsh geography is apalling I'm afraid!! I've saved a copy of the image (over 2 pages) if you want to take a look, just send a PM with your email addie (quote gibbs and gibbs 2!) Louise :O)

Hi Louise It's very kind of you to offer to do this. 1871 census: Please could you give me fuller details of James Key, born around 1827 in Northamptonshire, living in London I have found him on the Ancestry 1871 index, but would dearly like to know more of him and his family (was he a hairdresser like the rest of the ones I know about, or maybe a printer?) Many thanks in advance. Regards Helen

Hi louise, He would have been born in Llanhilleth and would have been registered in Newport Monmothshire..possibly That is the only thing I could think of, it was my mothers mistake saying he was born in Six Bells!! Thanks again Susie x

Hi Susie, Not having much luck I'm afraid, neither in Welsh Or English 1891. Was he definitely born in Abertillery in Wales? If you have any more info, let me know and I'll search again. Louise :O)

Hi louise, Could you do a 1891 Census look up for me please on my G/Grandfather. Would like to know how many lived in his home and names of siblings, father and mother. Also his fathers occupation. Name: Frederick Thomas Gibbs D.O.B: 06/04/1888 Street & town: Commercial Road ?, Six Bells Abertillery Thank you Susie x

Hi Alan, Sorry, but address searches aren't possible as I use Ancestry rather than a CD. I believe I can address search for 1881 census only. Sorry I couldn't help :O( Louise

Hi Deborah, No luck I'm afraid! There were very few TH Collins matching year of birth, so I looked at those that were closest (including Herberts and Herbert T's). Sadly, none had fathers called William :O( These were the best matches at Ancestry and if you think any might 'fit', let me know and I can give you the entire family details.
