London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Re: Barnard's Inn, Holburn -- 1620
« on: Wednesday 07 March 12 02:20 GMT (UK)  »
Hi this is very nice of you.

I can send you some documents that I have over the email.

My email is * and we can communicate this was as I can attach things.

But in answer to your question he appears on the 41 census onwards. Living in Stanford Hill.  You can identify him as his wife was Eliza (might have been a short version of Elizabeth) and he had 7 daughters and 3 sons, however, ambrose wasn't born until around 1843. So he doesn't appear on the 1841 census but he does appear on the 1851 of course. He lived at least from 1841 at no. 1 Victoria Place

Here is the possible street name - there is several streets or roads but I can find a place but this gives you the idea. He would have been a reasonably wealthy man.
This is the only Victoria Place in London that I can see but this is Richmond.

Do you have access to acenstry.com.au or do you have access to New.familysearch.org then you could see al things or I can send you a PDF of what it all looks like.

Thank you so much

Charles

I should add that I know these a very well to be two separate lines but I can't help thinking they re related.

Well that is kind of you.

My Charles Humphreys was born in 1795 and his son Charles was Christened is December 1839.

Sounds like they were part of the same family as it was usual to call the first borne Charles.  I have a hunch that if Charles had a cousin or nephew that he may well have called his son Charles just as their fathers would have done before them.

You would happen to know if anyone of these Charles Humphreys worked for W C Humphreys at Humphreys and Percival????

Thanks

Charles

This is a bit of a long shot but have any of you found a lawyer called Charles Humphreys b. 1795 was in the "Clan of Lawyers" he was probably related to Christmas Humphreys and Teavers Humphreys though I have not found evidence of this as of yet. Any clues?

I know there was  a Charles Humphreys of 5 Barnard Inn, Holborn but I am yet to establish that he was one and the same charles. He apparently was the nephew of Peter Paul Benazech.

Does any of this help anyone at all

Thanks

Charles

Hey Graham

If that is your name and I have got it right.

Are you saying there might be one in my local Family History Centre or did you mean FHS. if you meant FHC  then I do have a Latter Day Saint chapel near by - do you think they would have one there?

you may want to contact the law society in london who keep records forever. i am trying to do the same thing when i spoke to a barrister I'm london last night - i am in new zealand and want to find my 8th great grandfather and i have  a hunch it is only by looking at employment records around 1828 etc

I had to join this thread that I have found some 7 years later and I hope you are all alive.

I am related to Christmas Humphreys and my 5 x great grandfather is Charles Humphreys and they were a long line of solicitors in London and very famous.

Christmas is such an odd name that Christmas James Humphreys must be one of my relations and I know this for sure as it runs in my family as does Travers and Richard and James and CHarles as well as William - these are all names that are familiar to me but Christmas is a Humphreys name.

I have a lot of information about his ancestors
