SCRIVENER

[flb]

Hi,
From IGI, I have a Claudius Alfred Scrivener baptised at Saffron Waldon, Essex. I would like a check on the Saffron Waldon parish registers (possibly Independent) for verification and parents as well as a search for the birth of Edward Scrivener (about 1834).
Any info about Scriveners in that area would be appreciated,
Liz

Hi Liz

Ive looked on 1841 census for Essex and there are 69
Scrivener's there but none in Saffron Waldon, could they be in another area?

Cant find Claudius anywhere and no Edward in Essex.

Also from IGI:

Parents of Claudius Alfred are Job & Mary

Job Scrivener m. Mary Lowe, 1820, London

Job Scrivener bap. 1795, Pottersbury, Northants


1851 St Luke Old Street, Middx   HO107 1520 268 p14

4 Hall Street
Job Scrivener, head, mar, 56, Drapery Traveller, b. Cosgrove, Northants
Mary Scrivener, wife, mar, 52, b. Stambridge, Worcs
Cephas Scrivener, son, 12, Day Scholar, b. Stepney, Middx


No evidence these are yours, but may give some clues.

Claudius Alfred, Edward not found

Hi Alison & CP,
Many thanks for your kind help. The London family looks very like mine. My husband's ancestor Edward Scrivener, had a brother Cephas, father Job and mother Mary. He was 71 in 1905 when he died so should have been listed with his parents aged about 7 in 1841; it is a bit of a mystery.
I have not located a record of his baptism but this information may help me track it down. He seems to have left London for Australia about 1851 so may not be on that Census. He set up as a draper in Sydney so it would be surprising if this was not his family,

Thanks Alison. It does look as though this is my Job. The rest of the family will be found one day I guess.
