Post by: Grandad james on Thursday 27 January 05 10:28 GMT (UK): Hi ,
Many thanks for this .
The 1851 is one of the census that I have little from, and therefore this entry is most welcome.

I noticed RAY in your signature ... my wife's grandmother was Amy RAY she was born 1889 in Tyers Street, Vauxhall
Lambeth daughter of Richard William RAY b abt 1859 Lambeth, and Alice KITT.
Amy's siblings Mary b abt 1885 Alice b. abt 1887 Primrose b abt 1892 LOUISA B ABT 1895 Eleanor G b abt 1897 William b abt 1900.
Just in case you come across anything.

Best wishes James.

Post by: forester on Thursday 27 January 05 22:52 GMT (UK): Hello James,

In the East Grinstead Burial Register, 1813 to 1840, there is the following:

Entry No. 887
James BORER
Abode: East Grinstead
Date of burial: 30th May 1828
Age: 33

If you are interested, there are 3 Boorers in the East Grinstead 1851 census and a family of Borrers in the 1851 census for Hartfield.

If you want the details, just let me know.

Best wishes,
Phil

Post by: forester on Friday 28 January 05 20:24 GMT (UK): James,

I will post the census details over the weekend on your One Name Study listing. Due to zero typing skills and my copy of the index being in book form, I can't rattle them out that quick.

Do you know the area at all? If you don't I'll expand on the locations a bit if necessary.

Regards,
Phil

A variation of Boorer?

1851 census.....St George, Southwark, Surrey.....1565a, page 42
163 Borough Road?
Sarah Bora visitor (mar) 40 St George, Surrey
Sarah " daur (u) 19 " "
-------------------------------------------
have you thought about putting this topic in the One name study section?

I didn't get a chance to check last night: the 1851 Lingfield census is knee deep in them- seven heads of household anyway. If you haven't already got them, I'll pass them on.

Also a further thought on the East Grinstead ones. If you compare the 1851 census with the Ashdown Forest book I referred to in the post I left on your One Name Study, it appears that Bowrah has been used instead of Boorer in one area of the parish by two, or possibly three, of the enumerators. It would certainly account for the apparent lack of them in East Grinstead and I can't find that spelling used elsewhere locally in 1851. What do you think?

Happy Hunting,

Phil

I live in Henfield, West Sussex. I expect you know about the famous Borer who lived here.

Post by: Grandad james on Thursday 10 February 05 19:43 GMT (UK): Hi Gordon,
They are all famous to me !!..
Seriously I have been concentrating on BOORER and dealing with Borer as and when they came up.
So perhaps you will give me a clue...
Need anything more on Wellesley ,was it terrace Croydon.
(Jul 2003) hows that for a memory...??
Cheers James.

Post by: GLickfold on Friday 11 February 05 15:36 GMT (UK): Hello James

o dear...... sorry....... it turns out that William of Henfield is a Borrer..... my memory playing tricks on me. Still, I should think Borrer is probably another variant of Borer.

"William Borrer (1781 - 1862) was a leading botanist of his time and was born in Henfield." Check out http://www.henfield.gov.uk/museum.htm for more info and a photo.

Cheers

Post by: Grandad james on Friday 11 February 05 18:11 GMT (UK): Hi,
Yes I thought that was who you meant. ;)

I agree that it was probably a variant but todate I have no evidence of that name changing within any family, unlike BOORER and BORER . Probably have to get back to late 1600s before the variations appear .

Thanks for thinking of me .
Cheers James.
