Excellent, thank you so much for this.
Yes, it does look quite nice. The person of interest was Stephen Bird, an Estate Agent.

Thanks again. Much appreciated!

Hi

Clarence Villas, Church Road, Moseley, Birmingham

I am trying to identify the above property. I have tried following the census enumerator's route around their designated area (assuming he/she wrote the addresses on the paperwork as they went along) and compared with various maps but this has not helped. Is it possible somebody out there has found this in their own researching?

Any help most welcome.
Thanks.

Hi
The Henry Lucas living with Daniel in 1841 is the son of Daniel's daughter Millicent (also living with Daniel) and his birth is the Demilt one.
So we have another Henry. I suspect Daniel junior is the father but would prefer more evidence.
How common is the name "Whimbell" I wonder ?

Derbyshire / Illegitimate child of Daniel Lucas with Maria Whimbell

Hi

I have recently stumbled upon an 1839 Derby baptism of "Henry, son of Daniel Lucas (China Painter) and Maria Whimbell (Silk Worker)"

This was quite a surprise but it could feasibly be either Daniel Lucas Senior or his son (of the same name). They were both china painters (landscape scenes).

Need help to identify who Maria Whimbell was. No luck so far.

Any help would be most welcome !

Thanks

Thanks, yes, this is the man. A landscape painter of scenes on china ware.
Just like his father, of the same name, in Derby.

Thanks again.

OK great.

The individual concerned (Daniel Lucas jnr) had been married for only a few months prior to this "downsizing". Interesting.

Many thanks to all respondents !

Hi

Any ideas as to what "declining housekeeping" means?

I have found it used on the attached 1841 advertisement for an auction.

Any help most welcome.

Thanks
Doug.

The father was a merchant I believe.

Thanks again.
