1851 census WILLIAM NEWTON

Thanks, Yanja.

Just right, it's nice to have the details.  The place in Devon is Thorverton.

Elizth, the dressmaker, gave her skills to my grandmother, and accounts for the various sewing machines which I still remember!

Hi

I looked at Elizabeth's batism at Whilton and it said her father was a Boatman.

No other children baptised in village.

Thanks Jan for three more census results.  I am quite overwhelmed by the amount of information I have gained TODAY thanks to you. 

The 1891 reveals another child in the Bambury family that I did not know about!  Elizabeth's children ranged over twenty-five years, from 1858 to 1883.

Thanks Sandy for that info.

I am sure "William Newton, Boatman" is perfectly possible.  I don't know when the railway got going through Long Buckby, but I would guess it was  between 1836 when  Elizabeth (the eldest) was baptised, and 1851 when William appears - in Birmingham - as a Porter.

My next thought is to research the railway company on the one hand and the 1841 census on the other!

Hi again
I searched Stoke on Trent in 1841 as Lucy was born there around then, but can't find them. Can only assume they were still back in Northants or somewhere on route. Sorry don't have access to 1841 for Northants.

Hallo Jan,

Thanks for continued interest in my family!  Lucy, Selina and Emma were all born in Stoke (Hanley is part of Stoke by the looks of it), so quite where the Newtons were in 1841 and for the next period before they moved to Birmingham I do not know.

I will see if they are still in N'hants in 1841 by any chance.

 I was wondering, as Ellen was born in Stoke, whether this was William's second marriage, if it was I suppose Lucy might Elen's not William's - be interesting to see who the family consists of in 41 - hope you locate them.

Cheers Jan
