Is it possible for someone to look up an address in 1891 & 1901 census please, and let me know who was living there.
I don't know if this is possible.
The address is "The Bush", Hexham, Co.Durham.
I have been looking for an Albert Hunter in the 1901 for a couple of years. I found one in a school in Yorkshire, a couple of years ago, but didn't think it was the right one. Now it's looking like another relative may have moved to Yorkshire and married. And as this child was an orphan by 1901, it may be that it is him after all and am trying to work out who may of taken him on.
This is the address given by the school when he joined in 1900.
Thanks

Hi Sue
You can search the 1901 Census index by address yourself and purchase the details
http://www.1901census.nationalarchives.gov.uk/index.html
The index shows 'The Bush Inn' at Hexham (Northumberland).

Bush was also a farmstead in Hexhamshire which lies south of Hexham itself. I's soemtime called Ead's Bush. Peter

Hi Helen K and Peter
Thanks for the reply.
I have tried using 1901 and it always comes up as address not known. I have now tried the different ways, under Durham, Northumberland, Hexhamshire and The Bush Inn and Eads Bush.
Thanks again for replying.

Hi Sue
This is how I found the index entry:
Click on address search
Click on Additional Address Details
At House enter Bush
At Administrative County enter Northumberland
At Town enter Hexham
Click search
The Bush Inn is the only entry that comes up and you can purchase the image from there.
I can look at the 1891 Census for you - when was Albert Hunter born ?

Hi Helen K
Thanks for that. No matter what way I put it it in, it never worked. But I've got it now thanks.
It's no good looking for Albert Hunter in the 1891, as he was still in London then. It was the people that were in the Bush that I was after to see if I could link them with Albert in some way, before they sent him to this school in Yorkshire. I am trying to work backwards, as nothing else has worked in the last two years, that I have been trying to find him.
Thanks again

Hi Sue
Are you certain that Albert was orphaned by 1901?
I've found this family in 1901 at Bush Farm who had a 4 year old Albert in 1891- could be a coincidence!!

Hi Helen K
Thanks for that, I think that I can rule him out then. The school in Rawdon on the 1901 census says that he was born in London. But the address they gave me from where he came was the Bush, Hexham, Co Durham. so obviously they got his birth place wrong on the 1901 census.
Back to square one then for me.
Thanks for all your help. Without it, I would still be barking up the wrong tree.

Hi Sue
I've seen the 1901 Census entry for Albert W Hunter aged 14 born London resident at the school in Yorkshire.
This Albert W does seem to belong to the above Hunter family as in 1891 he is resident with them aged 4 years born Hexham.
If you let me know what you know of your Albert I may be able to help.
Regards

Whitley Chapel is the nearest church to the Hexhamshire Bush. I think there are other farms called that nearer Haltwhistle
My ancestors were at Bush Hexhamshire in the 1700s

Hi Helen K
Albert Hunter was born 26 Nov 1888 Plaistow, London. His parents were George & Jane Hunter (nee Hunter).
I have George Hunter on an 1851 Walthamstow census age 8, and then again on 1891 West ham census with his wife Jane and Annie, Ellen and Albert.
George is missing in between these two census, and by 1901 both George and Jane have died. But still can't find Albert on 1901.
I found this Albert, which is the only one to fit age wise, a couple of years ago, and dismissed it. But then realised that an Alfred Steels was living with Alberts grandparents George and Susan, on a couple of census, he was born in Leeds and was down as a grandson, so thought that maybe this Albert in Hexham might be the one and had gone to live with another child that I didn't have up in Yorkshire.
But I was obviously wrong there.
George (b 1842, Walthamstow) and Jane married in Bethnal Green 1 Jan 1873, and had Annie abt 1882, Ellen abt 1887 and Albert in 1888, so they were about, just never seem to make the census for 3 decades.
According to Navy records, Albert had tatoos, and one was in memory of a dear brother, so there was at least one other son that George and Jane had, but no idea of a name. Every time you put George b1842 into the census it only comes up with a George who married an Elizabeth, this is not the right one, as he is with Elizabeth on 1881 and 1891 census and the 1891 is the only one that I have our George and Jane on.
I have searched every possible place and angle and also come up against a brick wall. I think this family was just not meant to be found.
Thanks for trying anyway.

Hi Peter
Thanks for your message. I think we have found the Albert it question, at the Bush farm, and it is not him. I will have to go back to the drawing board on this one.
Thanks.
Sue
