Post by: janet lesley on Tuesday 22 January 13 04:42 GMT (UK)
Hi all, I have another search that I am not making any headway with at all, My 4xg grandfather Rev. Dr. Edward Andrews L.L.D  married Elizabeth Honor Symons. They had 12 children and I have traced 9 of them. Edward William  m. Emily Annette Bray ,they went to Australia  1839 and had 4 children, Frederic George Andrews followed his older brother to Australia in 1841 and married Jane Fullarton Frew and had 9 children ,  Eliza Andrews married Charles Orme and had 8 children , Charlotte Andrews I have a baptism and nothing else, Louisa Andrews  nothing, Marrianna Emma Andrews I have a 1841 census stating Marrianna as a teacher,  Adolphus Henry Andrews went to Canada and became a farmer and a shop owner, Emily Augusta Andrews  m Coventry Patmore ( Poet ) and had 6 children, Augustus Charles Andrews m Katherine Anne Buxton and had 1 son, Georgiana Andrews  m Goerge Patmore , Lionel Eugenius Andrews and Clarence Symons Andrews died as babies. The 3 girls seemed to have dissapeared  I would appreciate any help that is out there   Janet

So, you are wanting to trace Charlotte, Loiusa, and Marianna forwards?

Have you got a year and place of birth for each of them?
And when were they last spotted? E.g, census, witness on a siblings marriage, etc.

When did their Dad RevDr Edward die? Did he leave a will? They can be a great source of finding the married names f daughters!

You haven't mentioned where they lived- was is someplace in Essex like the other Andrews you have posted about?

Sorry guys ,I am a little short on info, Rev Edward Andrews b.9.1.1787 d. 19.10.1841. He was a dissenting minister from Beresford Chapel Walworth. He remarried Eliza Townshend but died shortly after .there were no children from this marriage. He left his children penniless and they were looked after by his siblings. Charlotte b. 3.10.1817 Romford, Louisa b. 22.3.1819 Stratford, Marrianna Emma b.  between 1819 and 1822  Windmill Row Camberwell. The family now moved into the new house ajoining the Chapel, where the rest of the family were born. The info I have is in a Memorenda written by the oldest son Edward William Andrews, he details alot of his relations but doesn't say much about his brothers and sisters.  The family were all highly educated including the girls so being a teacher or governess would not be impossable.  Did they marry or die young ? I can't find records  .Thanks for your help  Janet

1871 at RG10 1686 92 4

Now a Music governess, still unmarried, in Colchester


1881 not sure - possibly at RG11 673 150 89, back in camber well, as an Annuitant, boarding in the household of a Henry and janet barker or Barber.
She would be retired by now, so if she had always had accommodation with her teaching/governess posts, it is logical she would now have to live off her savings and find somewhere that took lodgers.

Thankyou for your help, I didn't have a record of Louisa's middle name. Finding her as a teacher and a music governess is no surprise , the family could all play instruments and as I said before they were all highly educated . thanks again  Janet.
