Would someone do me a favour and look up Ann Cassell in the 1861 at Whitchurch. I found the following refererence on family search and also a death ref in Whitchurch H Reg Dist in 1906 which matches Ann but she doesn't appear to be on the 1881 transcript or any following censuses under any variation that I can think of.
The familysearch reference is:-
Name: Ann Cassell age 25 Lodger Birthplace: Mortimer, Berkshire
Registration District: Whitchurch
Sub-district: 1 Whitchurch Hampshire
What I would like to know is who was she lodging with - in case it was a relative - and what happened to her.
Thanks.

Whitchurch
Frederick Barley 42 born Freefolk
Lucy 38 born Ross Lincoln Worcestershire
Louisa Barley 73 mother widow Freefolk
Ann Cassell 65 boarder Mortimore Deaf and dumb.
I can't see her in the 1911 so I would say the death you found in 1906 is the one. The place and age are spot on.

Crisane, you are a star. Many thanks.
Yes, Ann Cassell was deaf and dumb, as was her mother who amazingly managed to rear to adulthood and marriage, some 12 children. Ann is the last one that I have found as an adult.
Unfortunately, the problem which caused the deafness (and therefore dumbness) has passed right down through the generations to several of my kin, and my grandson.
Comparatively easily remedied nowadays. Called glue-ear.
Thanks for your help.

Here's Ann in 1871 RG10/1239/6/4
Free Folk Priors
Harry Barley
Louisa
Frederick
Charlotte
Harry
Ann Castle lodger 35 working at paper mill Whitchurch
Next door Elizabeth Barley 72 pauper and granddaughter Elizabeth 14.
I can't find Ann in 1881. Harry Barley has died and Ann is not with Louisa and family.

Thank you for finishing off for me. I now know that Ann never married and I can also start looking into which paper mill that she worked for. Her brother in law also worked in paper mills - in Berkshire, so I should imagine that there might have been some influence there.
Thanks again

Am not quite sure how this system works as I am new to it but many thanks for your help in looking up the Castell/Castle family member who lived at the same address where related members of my Barley family lived in the early and mid 1800s. The work done has also helped me to obtain new information so much appreciated !!
-
You are working the system just fine!
So glad I helped but just re-reading this thread I see we never did find Ann in 1881. The 1881 census is free on familyseach.org and ancestry and findmypast so you can keep going back to it when you have the time to use all variations of names you can think of. :)

Despite almost house to house searching in 1881 I haven't found the whereabouts of my Ann Cassell under any name variation, either.
Even searching using her first name has been unsuccessful, so I can only presume that she was missed somehow.
Many transcribers mistake the double "s" method of Victorian writing as a "p", hence Capell but even that has been unfruitful.
My Ann died in 1906 in the Whitchurch, Hants reg dist.
I am glad that my enquiry has been of some help to someone else.
