Linda,
Wonderful,
Fanny Elizabeth Matthews is my G.G.G.Grandmother, the daughter of John and Hannah. I know that John was a boatman in 1851 census as well as his son John!!age 17 at the time by the time Fanny got married in 1861 to William Marks in South Banbury, John is an Inn-keeper!! They were still in Neithrop in 1862 went their daughter Hannah was born but by 1881 were living in Earls Barton, Northamptonshire. I have just got back into researching again after a break. So will start looking at this part of the family again.

« on: Friday 14 January 11 18:53 GMT (UK) »To update you all I have just received John Job's birth cert.
He was born at 10 Sussex Terrace All Saints ( 16/8/1848) and when registered by Elizabeth (6/9/1848) she was living in Portland Street, All Saints, Southampton. (but no number given) and the father's occupation is listed as servant.
I had a look at the Southampton post office books , I could not find 10 Sussex terrace in the 1847 but in 1849 it was owned by John Stear - Fireman
As to Portland Street there are too many houses to know which one they worked in but I has a look on google earth and they are seem to a very nice terrace of houses.
I will keep looking to see if I cn find any more info.

Yes I did. 
Also I found that they were set back from the road with large gardens to the front and were imposing according to Brannon "with their red brick fronts , trees and srubs" in 1850 so when my relatives lived their they must have been something.
John and Elizabeth could not that far a way from each other at different parts of the same road and the church was on the same road as well.
All Saints’ church is of Grecian Ionic architecture, and has been much admired; it contains the monuments of Carteret, the circumnavigator, and of Bryan Edwards, the historian of the West Indies. It was destroyed during the war (WWII)

The Elizabeth Duffin at Croxton Keriel according to a relation of hers never married and so is not mine!!!
So need to find another
Suddenly realized the servant is FEMALE
so cannot be John ? was it Elizabeth 
I agree it looks like that James is an Inginneer

I would not think he would be left anything as he was living in Lincolnshire by 1856 Ingham(where my great grandfather Alfred was baptised) but the information is interesting.
Thank you very much for your help

I now have a copy of the 1841 census of James Beatty, he seems to have a servant!!! aged 20 ? of the county (leics) - this may be a dead end on finding out.
But out of interest if the it was Admiral Ayscough who owned 4 prospect place in 1849 he had entered the Navy and was made a Lt in 1793 and by 1847 R Adm R; 1849 V Adm B; 1851 V Adm W. There is also a painting of him!! (but not on the internet).
If nothing is proved and only supposition it has been very interesting finding other places to research and get data from.
Also Prospect place was situated on the east side of Above Bar Street set back form the road.
I will keep looking for John Jarvis and Elizabeth Duffin in 1841

Thanks.
What a lot of wonderful information you have found.
Bearkat the website of street directories is good and also has photos on it. I noticed that the railway between Southampton and London opened in 1840 and the connection between the Southampton docks and Town Quay opened in 1847 so it may be possible to assume that is why James Beatty was there.
I need to go searching more in the 1841 and 1851 census to find everyone.
Will let you know what happens
