Hello
I'm trying to find out about my GG Grandmother Jane Leader (widow). She lived in Islington and was living in Blundell street in 1881 so she could possibly still be living there?
She probally would have had at least 3 of her children living with her .. Minnie, Florence and Jessie and possibly Earnest and William.
So if poss would any one be able to look in the 1891 and maybe the 1901 census for me, to see what information there is.
I would really appreciate this help.
Kind regards
Chris Ridley

Thanks so very much Carole for your prompt and helpful reply
I was just about to send a query about the discrepancies in age between the two Census (Cenci?) when I got another post from Devis with amended ages.
I have also just seen the posts about Jessie Emma (thank you Devis and Kath) I presume the name of the Family she worked for is not easy to read but is probally the same ? I do knows Jessie eventually got married in 1899 to a George Witts.
Thanks very much to all of you for helping me solve this query it's extremely interesting and very helpful.
Kind Regards

Once again Devis you've come up trumps.. thanks so very much for this latest information.
Blundell St Islington.. seems to be a common denominator. I've tried looking to see if I can find the marriage details of Richard and Sarah Stevens..so I can find her maiden name and therefore her sisters surname, but no luck yet...
Thanks once again
Kind regards

Thanks very much Devis and Kanskar
Things are becoming a little clearer now. I found a marriage between a Sarah Standly and a Richard Stevens in Portsea in 1849, and these dates tie in...so this could be a good possibility. I also found a marriage between an Anne/Jane Stanley (The transcription read Anne but the actual index is extremely poor so it could easily be Jane) and A William Leader in Shoreditch Middlesex in 1864.. so this is another good possibility.
I must say there is a variety of spellings for Standley, but they all seem to lead back to the Wareham family.
Thanks very much, this is brilliant stuff
Kind Regards
Chris
