London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Re: Retreat, Clapham
« on: Wednesday 04 February 09 19:46 GMT (UK)  »
Hi All
I ve come across a potential relative at the Retreat Clapham who was there with his wife and children in 1841, he had previously been discharge for the Army with ill health. There is an article on studymore.co.uk which lists the place as a lunatic asylum for the 1841 census, it also lists details of some inmates there.
Still unable to prove my relative is the one staying there yet.

Dorset Lookup Requests / Emily Jenner
« on: Monday 22 October 07 13:44 BST (UK)  »
Can anyone tell me the whereabouts of Emily Jenner born 1855 in sherborne Dorset after 1881. On the 1881 census she is unmarried and working as a servant in Wimbledon, London . After that I have failed to find her on  1891 and 1901 census and also have not found a marriage or death to account for her apparent disappearance. I dont know whether she returned home to dorset or settled in London? Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

hi Steve

Dont know if you alredy have this but George Mitchell seems to appear on both the 1841 census (with William) and the 1871 census but not the 1861 census.


1841 George Mitchell aged 45 Tailor born ?Somerset living at 3/4 Galloway ?, St James Bath Forum with children
Emma 8
George 12
Richard 6
Sarah 20
Walter 4
William 15

age differs but they were rounded to nearest 5 years for the census

Also in the same address are
Elizabeth Sainsbury 75
Richard Sainsbury 75
Richard Sainsbury 25
Robert Sainsbury 20

Maybe Georgr is already a widower and the Sainsburys are his inlaws?

On the 1871 census he appears as aged 60 widow born 1791 Wooton under Edge  and working as a Tailor livin at St Augustines Bristol He is living with a new wife Ellen ages 49!! form Ireland ?Cashel

Hi Maurice,

I had a look on the 1891 census and could not find him there at all, neither could i see him on the 1881 census, He is however on the 1861 and 1871 census with his family . If you have him on the 1881 census i dont know. I do know however that glovers form Yeovil moved to America and Canada in the 1860 to 189os. In my family tree I have several movements with relatives moving to joining other family already there in this period. They moved to Johnstown  New York and Halston in Canada though I looked on the 1880 USA census and 1881 Canada census and he is not there.

Hi Steve

Looked at the 1871 census and found Henry Vincent Mitchell living with new wife Margeurite at 10 Forge Street Crewe Cheshire along with her children from her first marriage John Tulley age 8 born in Nantwich Cheshire and  Ann Ellen Tulley aged 7 born in Newcastle Staffordshire and also Henry Vincent Mitchell aged 1.
It says the new wife is 54 but looking at the census it looks like 34. Looking back at the 1861 census she appears with her family aged 23 as  Margaret maiden name Miles and her husband Anthony Tulley aged 23 agricultural labourer born in Newcastle Staffordshire . All her family came from Mayo  Ireland and her father worked as a Rag and Bone collector
 But still no trace of the Mitchells children.

Hi
 On the 1851 Census a Henry V Mitchell aged 32 born at Walcot Bath and working as a french polisher is living with is wife Eliza aged 24 a laundress born at Batheston. They are living at bailbrook Batheaston however the
name of the street/house i cannot decipher. Could this be your relative .As hannah registered the birth as Hannah Dix maybe they were never married.
