Find Ancestors

Hello again Gwen, I found your Sarah Weaver on the 1871 census working for the Mottram household at 11 Oakley Road,Islington. She was 23,a Domestic servant and was born in Crawley,Oxfordshire(a small village near Witney). I also found her birth reference on 1837As follows: Sarah Weaver Dec Qtr 1847 Witney Vol16 Page 131. I have not yet found her on the 1851 or 1861 census,but will have another look tomorrow when I am feeling more awake. Kind regards mary

Good morning Gwen A bit more to add to the Sarah Weaver story,I have found her in 1861 census as follows: Living in Crawley,Oxon Mary Weaver Head Widow 70 Pauper b Crawley Ann Weaver Daur Unmarried 46 Pauper b Crawley Lucy Weaver Daur Unmarried 35 Glover b Crawley William Weaver Son Widower 48 Shepherd b Crawley Sarah Weaver Grand daur 13 b Crawley Noah Weaver Grandson 11 b Crawley I will try to find these guys on 1851 census At least you will not be bored trying to sort them out!!! Kind regards Mary

Hi Ellen Despite there being many Cooper families in Chadlington on the 1851 census I could not find the two ladies you were seeking. I suspect the younger one had probably married by 1851 and the older one had died. Regards Mary

Hi Gwen Some more info for you from 1851 census: Living in Crawley William Weaver 37 Head Ag Lab b Crawley Jane Weaver 31 Wife b Chipping Norton Francis Weaver 5 Daur b Crawley Noah Weaver 1 Son b Crawley Sarah is missing for some reason.The census entry goes over 2 pages and I think that she was simply missed off on the second page or she may have been staying with her maternal grandparents(or some other family) as she is not with the Weaver Grandmother(I checked). The other piece of info is a death registration for Jane Weaver Dec Qtr 1852 Witney 3a 366. Theother alternative is that Sarah is not William/Jane's daur but the Daughter of one of the unmarried Weaver females!!! I think you will have fun sorting this out Good luck Mary

Thank you for finding my Forrest family. However there are two other girls on 1881. Annie and Wilhelmina. Wilhelmina was younger than Mary so could have died but I know Annie didn't marry till 1897. Any chance of you looking them up for me?

Hi Joanne I found Annie Forrest on the 1891 census as follows: Living at 94 Brondesbury Villas,Willesden Working as a Domestic Servant for a family called Baxter her age is 17 and place of birth Southwark. I could not find Wilhelmina on the 1891 census and a search on Freebmd for a death between 1881 and 1891 gave no hits. Regards Mary

I have him on 1851(Shipston on stour) also 1871(Sedgeley Staffs) but cant find his birth OR christening......He dissapeard on the 1881 and his family changed the name to Hovers!!!! The wife is listed as Widow. Cant find his death either :((( The family change back to Overs later.(my grans maiden name).......... 1000 brownie ponts for this one! Just had a thought....Daniel had a brother Richard 1825-1878 Foxcote/idbury, Oxfordshire. Gerri x

Could you try to find a Woodford family in 1861,1871 census please. Thomas Woodford about 37 in 1861 Mary about 35 John about 9 I was wondering if there were anymore children? They lived at 'Cottage', Sandford in 1881, John was born in Leadwell. Thanks . Sue

Hi Gerri Do you have this entry from the 1841 census? Living in Salford Thomas Hovers 40 Ag Lab not born Oxon Anne Hovers 40 not born Oxon William Hovers 15 not born Oxon George Hovers 15 born Oxon Jane Hovers 10 born Oxon Daniel Hovers 10 born Oxon Edwin Hovers 19 born Oxon Mary Hovers 8 born Oxon Jacob Hovers 5 born Oxon Thomas Hovers 3 born Oxon Sort that lot out. I am Oxfordshire born and bred and I know that even now in the really rural parts of Oxfordshire an H is added to words that start with vowels so that probably accounts for the apparent changes in name. Do you have the parental family in 1851 or just Daniel? Where have you looked for his birth? Good luck if you need any more help get back to me Regards Mary
