Hi, my great grandmother Eliza Beer is listed on the 1901 census as Eliza Bure; born St Osyth abt 1880, the civil parish is Great Clacton. I was hoping someone with access to the 1901 census might be able to give me the address for this census entry. The head of the household is Henrietta Robinson born in Australia abt 1858.
Many thanks

Thanks again Meles; I have beeen taking advantage of the free 1901 census search at Ancestry.com, but unfortunately they don't give you everything, address' for example, for free...LOL. Being totally unfamiliar with St Osyth or Gt Clacton I am assuming that Frederick House is a boarding house, think I might google it and see what happens.
Cheers

Henrietta Robinson's occupation is "Boarding House keeper", as are a number of the heads of houses in the same street. Clacton was a popular seaside destination for Londoners at the time, with a quick and cheap railway connection from the East End.

Hi I live in Clacton ,and Agate Road is just off the seafront ,most of these houses are now either bedsits or Hotels .I'm going into town tomorrow soI'll have a look.
Clacton is a relatively new town and in 1901 the houses off the seafront were quite soughtafter.Theyare big houses and they are all still there ,I'll see if it's still the same name .
If you need any help with what is where in Clacton please let me know.
My family all originated from St Osyth and my daughter still lives there .There is a website for St Osyth www.stosyth.gov.uk

Hi Ninkynoo, I can't believe you actually live in Clacton and your daughter is in St Osyth!! My Pop (grandfather) was born in the Tendring workhouse in 1902 and he lived at 27 Mill Street St Osyth until he joined the army in 1919. His family name is/was BEER/E and his family lived in Mill Street for years and years and years, they where agricultural labourers. Would your daughter know if any of the old houses in Mill Street are still there? Also, if it's not too much trouble and if Frederick House still exists,and if you have a digital camera I would love a photo, I don't want to put you out at all so if it's too much to ask, that's OK. I have visited the website you mentioned on many occasions and have often "started" letters to Phil Hendy the historian at St Osyth but can never quite get the letter right..LOL.
Could you tell me just off hand if there is a monument or cenotaph in St Osyth to those who died at the Battle of Jutland in 1916?
My other St Osyth names are PAGE, GRIMWOOD, STARLING and MANN.
Thanks again

Hi Anne
Mill Street is pretty much intact ,If you send me your e mail address I will send you a few bits and pieces that I have on St Osyth.
Funnily enough I have been searching for a Painting By a member of the Page family .
There are two war memorials in St Osyth .I'll pop down there tomorrow and have a look at the inscriptions.
There is also a very good book about Tendring Workhouse ,but I cannot seem to find the IBN number for it ,so will get it out next time I,m at the Library and see if there are any relevant facts for you ,it is HUGE.
Did you know that Tendring Workhouse was referred to as the Spike for many years .I worked there when it became a hospital for the Elderly
I have been out and about this week taking photo's for other people around Clacton ,I'll get a reputation you know ,not that I really care.
Apparently anyone born or originating from St Osyth is called a TOOSEY WHOOPER !!!.
Hope you are enjoying the sunshine whilst we freeze ,
Back as soon as possible

I was very interested to read your postings, although none of you family names are connected to mine at present, my gt grandmother and her family came from St Osyth, living in Mill Street. The names connected to me are German(y), Cook, Gilbert, Pooley, Beales, and Gentry. I still have distant relations living there.
Do contact Phil Hendy of the historical society, i did, and she gave me some great information as she has access to the archives.
regards
