Naman family

[dickiebould]

Could somebody please look up a Edward Naman on the 1891 and 1901 census please. He would have been born in about 1868 and should be living in Armley, Leeds in 1901.

Thanks

Hi dickiebould,

I've looked at the indexes for the 1871, 1881, 1891 and 1901 Censuses for Namans in Yorkshire and none are recorded in the first three of those and just four in 1901, none of which is in Leeds.

Do you have any further information which might assist a look-up i.e. place of birth, other members of family, etc.?

I'll be pleased to have another go if furnished with more ammunition.

Regards,

The 1881 census has Edward Naman born in 1868 in Northampton. So he should be 23 / 33 in 1891 / 1901. His father, i believe was a John Naman. Hope that helps. He wasn't in Yorkshire in 1891 as far as i know.

hello

In 1891 in Ashley Bristol there is an Edward Naman born in 1868 in Northants with wife Rosina. but his father is James and mother Eliza.
I see your Edward in 1881 with father John and mother Constance in London.

As fox says nothing in Yorkshire fits. We need a definite start 1901 then go backwards.
Where did you start your research from.

Regards Oly

Just from the 1901 census index. My partner's grandmother told me that her father in law was an Edward Naman and as there is one born in the 1890s and living in Armley, which is where i know that he lived, it seemed to fit that i had found the right one in the index.

Dickiebould,

What we like to see is the whole household from the census.
That way we can see where they have been! In the 1901 census the indication is that they have yet to establish any connection with Yorkshire.

In this case the most likely residence for them in 1891 would be either
London OR Northampton

1901 (subject to another's check of the original)

Edward Naman    33    b Northampton  occ:    Boot Finisher
Robina/Rosina Naman    31    b Southampton    
   
Edward Naman    12    London Camberwell    
Daisy Naman       9     b Northampton
William Naman       7     b Northampton
Albert Naman          5       b Leeds        
Frederick Naman   4    b  Leeds    
Roland Naman       2    b Leeds       

Births.
Naman, Rosina Daisy C     September  Qtr  1891     . Northampton

Marriage.
NAMAN, Edward        December  qtr 1887  Edmonton     
Pearce, Rosina Jane

In 1881 The family would appear to be in London.

Check (& transcribe onto here if you think they are 'right')

Edward Naman 13y, (c1868)     born Kingsthorpe, Northamptonshire

Hi,

As Oly has said the family in Bristol does not appear to be the one that you are looking for and as Pauline has indicated all the evidence points to the Naman family only arriving in Leeds after the 1891 Census, probably in 1894/95. 

But where were they in 1891?

Probably in Northampton, going by the birthplaces of the children.

I have carried out an extensive search, trying possible alternative spellings of the surname, and drawn a blank.

Sorry - but good luck in unravelling the mystery.

The births of Albert, Frederick and Roland are listed on YorkshireBMD during the 1890s, in Leeds West and Wortley. There is also a Lily Naman registered in Wortley in 1908.

If you search the same site for Naman marriages between 1915 and 1946, there are loads of them, some at St. Bartholomew's, Armley.
