Aberdeenshire / Re: Grant in Foveran 1851/1861 Census lookup

Many thanks for your message. I think the grave must be of Peter Grant who was the son of Peter and Elizabeth Grant, who was born on the 6th November 1926 and must have died soon after.

Ireland / Re: Reavil somewhere in Ireland

Many thanks Mags, It would appear that George was born in Linsale, Cork whilst his father William Reavil was serving in the army. I am waiting for the certificate to be sent which should provide me with further information.

Ireland / Reavil somewhere in Ireland
« on: Tuesday 03 January 06 20:34 GMT (UK)  »
I have just come across an ancestor of mine called George Reavil who is stated on the England/Wales 1851 Census, as being born in Ireland in 1819.

Where do I start to research possible relations in Ireland, as the only information I have is that his Father was a soldier called William Reavil (1786) birth place unknown and his mother was Margaret Broadie (1799) born in Brixham, Devon?

Anybody who can give me some guidance would be most appreciated.

Hi Everybody,

We have some new information on the Reavil family because we have found them in 1851 in the Thakeham Union Workhouse. Margaret Reavil is listed as being the Matron and is shon as a widow with two children Margaret (14) and Lydia (12).

I cannot find any trace of William Reavil or John Reavil in the 1851 Census but there was a William Reavil who died in 1845 at Thakeham.

If anyone has the 1841 Census for Thakeham (or surrounding areas) could they see if the family was there for when the Workhouse started up in 1836.

Thank you

Herts Completed Lookup Requests / Re: 1851 census look up for LEE
« on: Saturday 19 November 05 17:24 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Vickie,

I have come across yout messages reference the Lea Family which links to a missing connection in our own family. My gt. gt. Grandmother was Elizabeth Lea, who was born in Hemel Hempstead in c1847. Checking the parish records for the time of her birth, I found an Elizabeth Lea born illegitimately to Eliza Lea. On her marriage certificate, her father is stated as being a Thomas Hose.

The connection, I think, comes about from the 1851 census where Elizabeth Lea is living with her grandparents, James Lea & Charlotte Lea in Two Waters. I have noticed on the 1841 census that there is a Betsey Lea (10). Could this be Eliza Lea with Betsey being a shortened form of Elizabeth?

Would like to hear your comments on this and any other information you may have on the Lea family..........PAULA

Somerset Completed Lookup Requests / Re: 1851 Census Lookup - Curtis

Hi Bryant,

Here we go.....John Henry James was born in Liskeard, Cornwall in appoximately 1835 and moved to London sometime in the 1850's. We have John James listed as living in 14 Modbury Terrace, St. Pancras in the 1861 census with Mary Curtis living at 3 Modbury Terrace. John was listed as a boarder, unmarried, carpenter aged 26. Mary's was listed as the Head, unmarried, Ironer aged 20.

John James and Mary James are listed in the 1871 census living in Kensington with 5 children, one of which was 10 years old suggesting that the couple were married soon after the 1861 census (although we cannot find any marriages on 1837.com for that period).

The assumption is that John and Mary met whilst living in St, Pancras with their dates and places of birth forming the connection.

Other censuses are consistant with age and location although the 1881 census names her as Jane (rather than Mary) but with Bath, Somerset still recorded as her place of birth. 1891 census shows her again as Mary.

We have mapped out the family James reasonably well since they moved to London, but we cannot find this connection to Mary, born Bath, Somerset.

Hope you can help

Hi Carol,

Sorry for the long delay in replying. 1851 seems spot on and the 1841 census looks possible although I have no details of brothers or sisters. Johns mother we think was Margaret Broadie (hence the Brodie middle name) and there was a recorded marriage between Margaret Broadie and William Reavil in Brixham Devon (IGI File).

Thank you for all your help.

Hi Forfarian,

Thanks for your interest and we have now viewed the census on Scotlands People.

Cheers
