When you have a moment, would you be kind enough to see if you have any GREENEs in Bethnal Green?

Many thanks

Hello Isp

There are lots of Green families.  Only one Greene and that has a question mark.  Ann Greene? age 50.  You should not stick too closely to the ones with an e as the name would be changed by whoever wrote it.

If you give me some names and possibly ages I can look at those.

Many thanks for your reply - I apologise for the delay in acknowledging it.

I must admit that my request was a long-shot - as you know, we amateur genealogists have to make the most of any opportunities that present themselves!

Whilst I do not have any specific details of GREENE family members in Bethnal Green in 1851, it occurred to me that I might just find my elusive gggGreat Grandfather, David Polhill GREENE, lurking in Bethnal Green!

He died in 1854 - age 70 years - in Somers Town and I cannot find him in the 1851 Census at the address shown on his Death Certificate (Union Street, St Pancras).

One of these days, he'll turn up on a census and I will finally get a clue as to his birthplace - fingers crossed!

Many thanks again for the trouble you have gone to.

Best wishes

Not the most common of names, to be sure.

Richard Manhead (47 in 1871 so 27 in 1851) + wife Honor 48 in 1871

Hi,
  Could you look to see if there are any Holts or Hardys on the census?  I am looking in particular for:

Thomas Henry HOLT- born in 1833 (parents possibly Samuel and Susannah HOLT)

John HARDY- son, Henry, and daughter, Elizabeth who was born in 1838.  Elizabeth was supposedly raised by an aunt named ASWELL, so if you see that name, that would be much appreciated also.

I suspect they may be in Bethnal Green at this time, as Thomas Henry and Elizabeth get married there in 1856.

Thank you!

Hello Daisy Dee

Bethnal Green does not cover Whitechapel or Whitefriars but I looked at the index anyway.  I'm afraid there was no-one with the name Coone.

I have a surname only index for St George in the East and I did find one Coone in the St Mary District.  If you are able to view a film of the census the reference is HO 107/1547 folio 147

St George in the East is next to Whitechapel and families did move around a lot.

 Oliver Frater Born St Pancreas age 30 head
Ellen Frater Born Middlesex age 28 Wife
Ellen Frater Born Middlesex age  11 Dau
William Frater Born Middlesex age  6 son
Goerge Frater Born Middlesex age  4 son
James Frater Born Middlesex age  3
Oliver Frater Born Middlesex age 3 Months

Oliver and Ellen were married 1869 Bethnall Green
Ellen would have only been 16-17 years of age

I can not find either of them in 1851\61\71

I guess you already know all this but I thought .Just in case it would help.

Post by: kerryfrater on Thursday 27 May 04 16:50 BST (UK)
Thanks for the details. I have to admit, I've had a break through recently. I recently found the granddaughter of my grandfather's sister. She had the marriage cert. of our Gt Grandparents Oliver FRATER & Ellen BUTLER.

They were married 21 Mar 1869 in The Church, Parish St James the Great, Bethnal Green.

From ther certificate she was the daughter of George BUTLER and Elizabeth ?. His job was a Carpenter. The 1871 census have 89 BUTLER's in London but only one was a carpenter. This is

RG10 230 Page 21/35
2 Moray Road, Islington, Upper Holloway
George Butler, Head, Married, 47, Carpenter, Middlesex, Islington
Elizabeth Butler, Wife, Married, 45, , Middlesex, Islington
Benjamin ?, Son in Law, Married, 20, Turner, Middlesex, Islington
Emily ?, Daughter, married, 20, , Middlesex, Islington
Emily ?, Grand daughter, u, 1, , Middlesex, Islington
James Butler, son, Unmarried,23,Painter, Middlesex, Islington

This makes George born circa 1824 in Islington. I have no other details about them but I am very confident that this is the right family as teh names match. The names George, Elizabeth, Emily & James appear in the children's names somewhere. They lived very close to Oliver & Ellen.

After the marriage Oliver became a house painter. Thought this was strange given the trades of the family. But if they were close to Ellen's parents then he may have started working with James, which would explain the change of profession.

I don't have ther ceritificate here at the moment but I the time of the marriage I believe both the FRATER & BUTLER families lived in South Road.

I am trying at the moment to sort out somes Jameses, I have got a George Hunter who married Jane Hunter in 1873, and her father was James.  I also sent for a birth certificate for a George before I realised I had the wrong date and this one has come through with James the father 1845.

Back in October you kindly looked for ABBOTT DURELL in Bethnall Green with no luck.

Would it be possible for you to list any other DURELLS that are listed as I am wondering if the Christian name could be wrong as all the details I have point to to this area.

In 1881 the family name was listed as DUVELL so could you give that a whirl as well.

Many thanks

Sorry could not find them in the name index for Bethnal Green or Whitechapel or even the surname only indexes for St George in the East or Shoreditch.

You could try asking for an address lookup to see who is there.

You are having a hard time with your family.  Our ancestors did move around London a lot and they could be in Stepney of Limehouse or even south of the river.

So Sorry not to find them

Hi

I am searching for information of Frederick Blackhall. b. 1850, labourer.

In the 1881 census, he is listed as being at 42 Edward Street.  Whether this is in Bethnal Green or not, I don't know, as the information I have just says London.

It seems that he was living with his parents, Thomas, head aged 72 and Frances Blackhall, wife aged 70, hawker.

Also at that address is Mary Ann Blackhall, who is his sister. b. 1835.

Frederick has no wife with him when the census was taken.

He had a daughter b. 1876.  Maybe his wife died in childbirth.

Does a wife show up on earlier censuses?

Thanks for any help.

Ken

Post by: Sylviaann on Friday 28 January 05 17:23 GMT (UK)
Welcome to Rootschat

First you did not say where Frederick Blackhall was born.  I looked at the 1881 census and it says Bethnal Green.  There are lots of Edward Streets in London but there are some in Bethnal Green.

You are assuming that Frederick was Thomas son but I would think he is Mary Anne's son.  Thomas and Frances would be too old to have children.  They will be his grandparents.  The only way to prove this is to get Fredericks birth certificate.  He is on Freebmd as being registered in the March quarter of 1850 in Bethnal green ref 2  91

They are not in 1851 Bethnal Green or Whitechapel.

There are no Blackhalls in St George in the East or Whitechapel but there are some Blackalls as follows

HO 107/1538 folio 152
HO 107/1547 folio 97

Someone will look up these references for you.  If they don't after a week then ask again on a new post quoting the names and references.

You should make seperate posts for other census years.

I'll try the PRO.  Have just found that Frederick Blackhall got married, June Qtr. 1874, Bethnal Green, 1c, 70_a, but putting a search for his wife, is proving difficult.  Will have to open up the images on FreeBMD

I'm afraid this hobby can be costly.  You need certificates to prove parentage.  You will probably need 28 birth certificate and 14 marriage certs.  Forget about the death certs.  I used to ask for them as birthday and Christmas presents.

I don't know how you will find a maiden name on the 1901 census.

It's costing me a lot now and I have ended up getting the wrong certs.  :)

My birth mother had a daughter, who is my eldest half sister, with the same name and I have noticed that Frederick Blackhall's sister has the same name as her mother!!

I found Frederick's marriage entry by searching FreeBMD, but open any image for that quarter.

Ohwell, I will have to put some posts up on here and see what it throws up.  Seems to be a great board.

She is unlikely to be in the 1851 census if she was born in 1852 but I looked anyway and could not find her.

You need her birth certificate then someone could look for her parents.

It is better to post seperate requests for Bethnal Green lookups.  I have indexes but others have partial indexes for greater areas of London.  Even if I find them on the index someone else has to look up the actual census

It would be better if you postes a general 1851 request on the London Lookup requests board.  Other people have more general indexes.  It would also help if you knew in which part of London he was born.  Have you found him on any other census?  If you have you should quote all information you have already.  You seem to know his fathers name.  Where did you get this information.  If it was from a marriage cert then you should post this information too.  Every bit of information helps to track him down.  You could try for his birth on Freebmd.

Hope this helps

Don't know if you can help but this is my problem. Charles Popkin was 12 in the 1851 census, living with his parents William and Elizbeth Popkin in Bethnal Green. Later Charles "married" Louisa Smith, no record found for the marriage. I wondered if there was a Louisa Smith there, she would be about 8 years old. Their second child was born in Shoreditch while the first and all others were Whitechapel. Thanks for any help you can offer, pegdoll.

This is a difficult one as without the parents names you will not know if any of them are correct.

I found three aged 9
HO107/1540 folio 453
ho 107/1545 folio 618
ho 107/1543 folio 289

age 6
HO 107/1540 folio 371
ho 107/1543 folio 353


If you get a birth certificate for one of the children then it would give the fathers name and make it easier to trace Louisa

It is best to post a seperate request as more people will look at the post.

The 1851 census is now online

Have you asked for an 1861 lookup?  This might also be difficult without a father's name.

Good Luck

I am looking for an Elizabeth Ricketts born in Bethnal Green who, in 1851, would be around 20 (give or take a year). In 1871 she was a book binder. I don't have much more information about her (such as parents names, place) so if there are many Elizabeth Ricketts of that age, there won't be much point in pursuing the search. But on the off chance there are just one or two of that age....

Much appreciated!

Sorry I could not find Elizabeth Ricketts in either Bethnal Green or Whitechapel.

It would be best to put in a request for London 1851 census.  Our ancestors did move around quite a lot.
