I think I've found my g.g. grandmother, Tamar Chapman, in the 1861 census working as a servant at 20 or 21 Turner St, Mile End. The census page actually shows her as Janar). Unfortunately it is at the start of a new page, so I do not have the details of the family she was working for. Can anyone help. As far as I can work out the reference is RG9/290 pages 114 to 122, though the page I have does not show clearly which page it is, it says 18, but may be 118.
Tried to attach the page, but couldn't work out how - I'm new here.

Hi there and Welcome to Rootschat ;D
The family she is living with are the Hollerman's.
Henry Hollerman 32 sugar refiner b Russia
Ann wife 27 b Lincolnshire
Jemmar? P dau 6mths b London
Janor Chapman 22 servant b Lincolnshire.
Looks like she knew the wife perhaps...maybe even a rellie/sister?

According to Pilotsearch, Thomas and Tamar CHAPMAN had a number of children baptised in Hacconby, Lincolnshire in the 1830s and 1840s. Two of these children were an Ann in 1834 and a Tamar in 1838, which would fit with being 27 and 22 in 1861.
Can't see Ann after 1861.

Thanks to everyone.
It would explain why she was in London if her sister lived there.
Yes, it is her in Aston in 1871 and Thurlstone in 1881, 91.
She took her name from her mother, and maybe her niece has that name too.

I think they may have lost the Mill by 1861 as Tamer is back to Fannythen.
I will post tomorrow as its 2.00am here.

Thanks for all the info.
The story passed down from my uncle who did all the family history is that Tamar born in 1838 was so sickly and not expected to live that she was christened immediately. She did survive and was christened again in 1843.

Other possible Holtermann tie ups to the above info are
bmd - q4 1860 in Mile End Old Town, birth of Fazar Philobena HOLTERMANN
1871 census in Hackney, Anne HOLTERMANN b. about 1834 in Lincolnshire
Plus, if Henry was actually born in Prussia, not Russia, there is an IGI record for HENRICI HOLTERMANN christened 4th Apr 1829.

Hi
Just to add ....
The first Tamar and the first Sarah COULD have both died young?
The next child each time being then being named T then S.
The reason I put this forward is because none of the others were christened twice, AND other info says Tamar was "sickly".
My immediate reaction when I saw the list (without thinking) was the loss of two children.
I'll do the DeathReg legwork later (as I've added the extra possibility) b4 the footie.

Hi there.I`m new to Roots chat and not sure if the following is still of any interest to you but I am g.grandchild of Tamar Holterman nee Chapman. She married William Henry Holterman and had three children by him.I went to South Africa in 1981 and found his grave at Spreeufontaine ,a farm in the Little Karoo area.He was killed in an ambush during the Boer War in 1901.
Of the three children,Dorothy emigrated to Canada,Elizabeth at 13 was in an institution and William( my grandfather) was sent to an orphange in the Lewisham area of London.He died in 1974 in South Wales leaving three children of his own of which one is still living.
I believe Tamar re married a Hemmerway(?)
Tamar Chapman was a daughter of Robert Chapman of Easington near Durham if memory serves me right.
Good luck
