Naman family

[lancs.fox]

Hi dickiebould,

Problem solved as to why neither myself nor Oly could find any Namans in Leeds on the 1901 Census despite Edward being correctly indexed on the Public Record Office website -  the service which I use, and presumably Oly too, has the family indexed as 'Kaman'. 

I have checked the entries recorded by Pauline at 14.48 today against the original page, which I have now seen, and everything is recorded as set out by her, but there are some additional items that I can add.

The address of the Naman family in 1901 was 36 Cedar Road, Armley, Leeds.

Two of the children have second name initials: Daisy is 'Daisy R.' and William is 'William H'.

Rosina's name is written as 'Robina'.

The reference is:  RG13 / 4214 / ED46 / f.12 / p.15.

So what were they indexed as in 1891?


Regards,

Richard

Thanks for everybody's help - great stuff. Interested to see if anybody can find them in 1891.

Thanks

Interested to see if anybody can find them in 1891.

There is always the option of  trying for yourself at a family history centre. TRacking the 1881 family may give another clue to location.

These would appear to be close to your profile location...

Hi Rich,

I'm posting the 1881 Census details for Edward Naman, firstly in case you don't have them and secondly as they may assist anyone else attempting to find the family in 1891.

1881 Census

14 Pedleys Orchard, Mile End Old Town, London

John Harvey Naman - Head - md. - 47 - Shoe Finisher - b. Kent, Greenwich

Constance Naman - w. - md. - 36 - b. Surrey, Walworth

John Harvey Naman - s. - umn. - 14 - b. Middlesex, Hoxton

Edward Naman - s. - unm. - 13 - Scholar - b. Northants., Kingsthorpe

Ernest Naman - s. - unm. - 11 - Scholar - b. Staffordshire, Knebworth (?)

Walter Naman - s. - unm. - 8 - Scholar - b. Northants., Duston

Constance Naman - d. - unm. - 6 -Scholar - b. Northants., Kingsthorpe

Annie Naman - d. - unm. - 5 - b. Northants., Kingsthorpe

Ellen Naman - d. - unm. - 1 - b. Middlesex, Stepney

The reference is:  RG11 / 0483 / ED22 / f.15 / p.24

So far, my efforts to locate Edward, his parents or his elder brother in 1891 have not produced any success (I have not had time to seek out the younger siblings) - maybe someone else will have more luck.

Regards,

Richard

Hi All

I think I have found the family headed by John as in Fox's 1881 post in 1891 indexed as Norman.

RG12/1077 Folio 38 Page 69 - 3 Youngs Cottages, Tottenham

John Namen 55, Boot Finisher, b Greenwich
Contstance 46, b Wandsworth
Walter 19, Boot Finisher, b New Duston, Northants
Annie 16, b Kingsthorpe, Staffs
Eleanor 10, b Stepney, London
Herbert 6, b Stepney, London
Thomas Tracey 18, lodger, Boot Finisher, b Shoreditch

In 1891 Constance Namen 18, b Kingsthorpe is a domestic servant in the household of the Garrett family at 9 The Pavement, West ? Road, Tottenham.

John and Constance are in Enfield in 1901.

1891 - There is John Newman 24, Clerk, b Hoxton London boarding at 66 Mayfield Road, Hackney.  Nearest in age and b/place  can find.

Hope this helps.

Hi all,

I concur with SheilaM, who has succeeded where others (well me, at least, have failed - well done to her) that this is the bulk of the family in 1891.

When looking at the entry to try to see how I had missed it, I discovered that John and Constance Naman's eldest son on the 1881 Census, John Harvey Naman, was actually living in the same house as his parents in 1891 but is recorded as a separate household.  The entry is follows:

1891 Census

3 Youngs Cottages, Tottenham

John H. Naman - Head - md. - 24 - Excavator - b. London, Hoxton

Elizabeth Naman - Wife - md. - 20 - b. London, Greenwich

The ref. is, of course, the same as for John and Constance.

But the mystery remains as to where was Edward.  I'll have another scout round.

Oh, for a foolproof indexing system!

Hi all
1st time post for me.
Found this thread when doing a general Google search and was very surprised.
There are very few Namans remaining in the UK.
I have the family traced back to North London (my origin). The family was in the boot trade and had a tendency to follow the work around between Edmonton and Northampton. One family (Edward Naman) moved to Leeds. Edward William NAMAN 1868-1955? was my Great Grandfathers brother. I have a huge amount of info on the family dating back to 1741, far too much to post on here.
I would be very keen to exchange information.

Hi, I know this family very well, I used to visit Roland, who was blinded in the first world war, and Lily Namen in Leeds when I was a child, I have lots of memories and photos of the Namens if anyone is still                   researching please get in touch.       Pete.

My maternal grandmother was Elizabeth Daisy Naman, her parents were John Harvey Naman and Sarah Salmon. I would love to get in contact with members of our massive family. Here's hoping.
