Title: Mundy family (1871 census & before) COMPLETED
Post by: PaulineJ on Tuesday 04 July 06 13:48 BST (UK)
I have this lot from 1881. (Wotton-under-edge), whom I'm trying to chase back.

I believe Sabina has re-married, (after Mr Mundy has died), and that her maiden name is either Ford or Cornock..

James Davis     abt 1837     Wotton Under EdgeHead         
Sabina Davis    abt 1841    Wotton Under Edge   Wife        
   
George Mundy    abt 1863    Wotton Under Edge Son    
David Mundy    abt 1868    Wotton Under Edge  Son       
Katy Mundy    abt 1872    Wotton Under Edge Daughter    

Thanks,
Pauline

Thunderstorm here, but checking occupation in unplugged mode!!

 ;D ;D

Modified - there are too many dittoes on the occupation line.

I think it should read "parish relief cloth picker"

There was a lot of cloth-related work in Wotton at that time - my lot were all at it too!

MUNDAY is still a current name in those parts - the playing field at Thornbury is the Munday Field (typos!!).

BTW - did you notice that there are two Selina FORDs of the same age?  I wonder if she was enumerated twice?

A  ;)

1851 - possible duplicate enumeration (note there is only one Sabina FORD in 1841)

HO107/1958//168/15

Ann FORD H Widow 48 - pauper (pulling cloth factory) - Gloucester Kingswood **
Anna FRENCH visitor U 48 - pulling cloth factory - do Wotton
Esther NEALE dau U 17 - servant - do Kingswood
Sabina FORD dau 11 - scholar - do Wotton
Mary Ann FORD dau 10 - do - do
Harriett FORD dau 6 - do - do

Address: Church St, Wotton under Edge, Gloucestershire

** Kingswood moved from being a pocket of Wiltshire surrounded by Glos, to being included in Gloucestershire itself

1841 census HO107/348/9/36/25

William FORD 50 labourer Y
Ann 35 wool picker No **
Sabina 2 Y
Esther NEAL 9 No

That little lot should give you plenty to puzzle over, Pauline!

kind regards, Arranroots  ;)

I think the Sabina Ford you have found in 1851 is the correct one Arranroots. I notice a sister Harriet the same age as the one on the 1861 census for Sabina :) :)
Seems unusual for there to be 2 Sabina Fords of the same age in the same small village, maybe she was visiting and her mother put her down as well :) :) :) :)

That is what I think must have happened, Nessie.

I tried all sorts of spellings of her name in 1841 and only found the one I posted.

Incidentally, you were asking (by PM) about the unusual names - Sabina is a variation on Sabrina, the roman name for the river Severn: good views of that from Wotton!!

Thanks for the information, I also found Tinwall and Adrian Acre as an address suggestive of historical interpretation

My lot lived in Pound Ground - never made any money out of it though, LOL!!

That'll certainly keep me busy for a while.  ;D

Hubby's been moaning for ages that I should look into 'his' lot.

Many Thanks,

Pauline
