Hello Cheryl

I have looked on your website but my people are not listed. They were Thomas Whalen 19yrs Apprentice 1841, Charles, his son 19yrs,1871 and then another son Henry 28yrs in1881(he was listed as an umbrella maker in the 1871 census. They lived in the Bethnal Green area of London.

Prehaps you would like to add them to your list.

Sheila

I'm new to this so please bear with me. My GGgrandfather is listed as an apprentice on the 1841 census and lived at an address in the Mile End Road East London with a whole gang of cork cutters, he was then 19yrs.
On subsequent census' until 1861 he was listed as a cork cutter (he died in 1866). In the 1871 census a 19yr old son was listed as a cork cutter and then in 1881- 1901 another son(my ggrandfather) was seen to be a cork cutter.
I,m interested to know where their actual place of occupation was.

This topic also interested me as on the 1861 census my GGgrandmother is listed as a an umbrella maker as was her 16yr old daughter. In 1871 this occupation was extended to include another daughter 14yrs old and a son of 18yrs.

This was in Bethnal Green East London. Could this have been a home based occupation?ß
