Good point, It never even occurred to me not to look for them anywhere other than Ireland.  Of course you are right.  I should only be looking in Ireland.

Its often the simplist things that trip me up. 
I once spent a week looking for a Joe, when I should have been looking for a John.  Ugghh.

The Hawes Street address: 
Samuel Minnis lived there until he married his bride Jessie Ansell. 
On the marriage cert she is living at Parrmure (Pannmure?) Street. 

Family lure says she was a Forewoman in a Stocking Factory. 

I have never been able to verify which one or if its true. 

Any help or guidance would be so appreciated. 
 
Thank you so much!

I just got the marriage cert out from 1891 between Samuel Minnis and Jessie Ansell. 
The marriage cert shows that John Minnis is already a deceased shoemaker.

I dont know if Samuel Minnis and his wife Elizabeth ever left Ireland, or just their kids did when they died? 

I am so interested in the women's lives and there is precious little to go on.

On Samuel Minnis' marriage certificate in 1891, his father John Minnis is listed as a Shoemaker.  On Samuel Minnis' death cert in 1919, his father is listed as a deceased Master Shoemaker.

I assume the family left Ireland after the death of his wife Elizabeth Graham.  The last I know of her, EG, she was present at her daughter Mary Minnis Fox, when she delivered twins in 1880 in Ireland.

Down / Elizabeth Graham Minnis in 1840

I have hit a dead end with trying to find info for Elizabeth Graham Minnis, born 1840 in County Down ,iIreland.  She married John Minnis a master shoemaker around 1864.  The only record I have been able to find is the birth of her son Samuel Minnis, parish in Richhill 1866, It shows Bottlehill as the address. 
I cant find anything to match that info online.  I am sure Elizabeth and John Minnis had several children.  I am useless as searching the census records, I have tried and found nothing.  I fsomeone can post a link to the census I should be looking at to see them, I would be forever grateful. 

Thanks for any help.

The Sophia Ansell listed as a servant in 1851 is William's daughter. 

William is said to be the coachman to Lady Frances Louisa Carleton and Rev Carleton. 

I dont know if William worked at the Bruton Street address, or at their other estate Catton Hall.


Thanks for all your help :)

Derbyshire / List of Servants living with family 1850s.

Where can I see a list of servants for either Catton Hall in Derbyshire or 25 Bruton Street, London for the time period of 1820-1891?

Louisa Frances Horton grew up in Horton Hall and then married the Rev Richard Carelton and lived at 25 Bruton Street in London. 

My ancestors were servants for this family.  I havent been able to find any list of servants at all, but have gotten some replies that there are 10 servants listed as living at 25 Bruton.


Thanks in advance for any help.
