1841 lookup please YEWER in Staines
« on: Saturday 17 June 06 12:07 BST (UK) »
Looking for any YEWERS (but specifically Abel YEWER occ = labourer) from the Staines area of Middx. I do not know his age other than he died @1859. He had a son called Alfred John YEWER b. @1830 so Alfred would be aged @ 11 in the 1841 census. I also think that Abel had a daughter called Charlotte but I cannot confirm that.
If anyone could assist I would be most grateful.
Thank you.

Wow! The names and ages seem to match.
Alfred Yewer was married in 1850 (to Emma Aldridge) and I think that Charlotte (if I have the right one) was married in 1849 (don't know to whom).
Thank you.

Have found Alfred and Emma in 1861, but no luck so far in 1851. Do you have the 1861 census? :)

Yes I agree with you Joburg.- this seems to be them.

And with that surname in mind I've also found mum and dad in 1851  ;D

HO107/1696 folio 287 page 8

At Shooting off (yes it DOES say that  ;)) Staines Middx
But both of them transcribed as Geever

Abel Yewer 56 head farm labourer b Buckinghamshire ???layer??? Can't read it sorry
Harriett Yewer 52 b Stoke Bucks
Jane Sherwood 2 (grnd?) child b Staines
Caroline Shieves or Shields? 1 (grnd?) child b Staines

The writing is awfully spidery and difficult to read.
Second opinions required please  ;D

Hope this helps

Just noticed that next door to Alfred and Emma in 1851 is 20 year old widowed Henry Sherwood- maybe he's baby Jane's dad- and therefore brother in law to Alfred?

I have corrected the Geever/Yewer mistranscriptions.

Thankyou all (Nessie, Carol and Joburg) for your help in this.
The SHERWOOD is interesting as I believe I've found a Charlotte YEWER who married in 1849. Died giving birth to Jane perhaps? The age etc would fit.
'Shooting Off'! Well I've just got to find that!
