Find Ancestors

If you're still doing lookups Sally, could you please find the following woman, and anyone else in her household? Amelia Groom age 68, born Northampton, the census civil parish will be Greenwich and I know her occupation is Charwoman in 1901. I don't know her address at the time. In the 1881 census Amelia Groom was part of the following household: Thomas Groom Head, 58, Iron Ship Builder, b. Lincoln Amelia Groom Wife, 47, b. Northampton Robert Groom Son, 14, b. Greenwich Charlotte Groom Dau, 10, Greenwich Alice Groom Dau, 9, Greenwich. Address 21 Lamb Lane Greenwich. I do know that the daughter Alice Groom was married by 1901 and I have the 1901 census details for her. I don't know much about what would have happened to the rest of her family after 1881 though. My mother belives that Thomas and Amelia Groom had a large family and some other possible sibling names might be Doll (Dorothy or Doris?), Florence, Fay, Daisy and John. If Amelia Groom is living with any relatives those names might come up in her household. I think Amelia was very likely a widow by 1901. Thanks, Lorraine

Hi Sally I am seeking any Fairey/Fairy names around Lambeth. The 1st wife of John Fairy born in Connington died and he went back to Connington to live. He seems to have left some of the older children in Lambeth - all born Lambeth. John George Fairy bn <1872> Annie Fairy bn < 1874> Elizabeth Fairy bn < 1876> Sarah Fairy bn <1877> I'd be very grateful if you could track them in 1901. REgards Marlene

Hi Sally, Like Sylvie, I hope everything's all right - have been checking back periodically all day. But as I know you are an early riser I expect you meant Monday breakfast?!!! <:-) Hazel

Hi Sally I've heard of the big breakfast.............. Oh dear - I shouldn't try to be funny when I'm tired! Not really worried but at least this will put the thread nearer the begining so that I can find it again! Thanks for all your help Sylvie

Sally. Can I ask you for a 1901 lookup please. Household of Theophilus Taylor b 1840 in Pimlico, Middlesex. He was a medalist/engraver. I may have asked before but it has dissapeared off thread maybe. So if I have asked you before I apologise. Address possibly 7 Carew Street. Camberwell. Also can you do an adress search. 70 Red Lion Street. St Andrew and St George. Surrey. Many thanks Sally. SUE.

Maxine Hazel June and Sylvia, Have found things for you will come back after breakfast. Sally.

Hi Sally, I was wondering if you could look up my great grandparents for me. I have looked on 1901 census site but couldn't find them, maybe you will have more success. Henry David Morgan born 1847 st. lukes mantle cutter( tailors cutter) Isabella morgan born cripplegate, 1857 city of london. I'm just curious to know if they had moved to Tottenham or still lived in Islington. Thank you Maxine

Thanks for looking Sally. The Kerr's are hard ones to find any information on. Kind regards SUE.

Hi Sally Thank you for the info on the workhouse in Clapham, I will note the details but think it is unlikely - some siblings were at home. I never thought of NK as being North Kensington, I always presumed it to be 'Not Known' - I am going to put a message on the other board and ask for opinions! He was definitely a Henry. Thanks for the offer of the 1891 - I have that census and have found the famiily. Thanks so much for looking If you could get me the details of half sisters please? They were in Barnados in Aston Tiroll near wallingford Berks on 1901 decoder, Emily and Eva Peach, aged 11 and 9. Perhpas just the census reference number so I can get a hard copy and the address of the institution? Thanks again Sylvie Sylvie

Have you got any names that I could look at 1891 census? ________ SUE The only Ann Kerr was 59 born Wooler Northumberland. sorry. _________

Sally, Thank you so much for Eliza Snelling's address in 1901 and for the information regarding 1871. Yes Richard was her husband and Henry the brother. Jean x.

Thanks for offering to do lookups If you could find Henry BROWN born Kensington london July 1892 (therefore should be 8/9 on the census, I'd be really thrilled. He is not with his family on the census date so no point in giving you their names. His step sisters (who were Peach) were in care so perhpas he was or perhaps he was in hospital? Have been trying for ages Thanks for looking Sylvie

Hi Sally - could you just see if you could find Julius Clarke and either Catherine (Kate) Best/ Clarke, son Arthur Julius Clarke/Best. Julius Clarke and Catherine (Kate) were 33 on the 1891 census and Arthur was 5mths. In Southampton.... Sorry if this looks gobbledy gook! Thank you for your help x

Thanks Sally - gives me something to work on. Sue

SUSAN Not sure if it goes as far as Durham but, will look a bit later got to go shopping now.

Sally, that's absolutely fantastic - I'm sure that's them! I know Frank had left his family by 1901, either dead or runaway we don't yet know, so I think I'll chase him up next. Many thanks for everything you have helped me with. :))) Helen
