My most trying missing person! 1851- completed thanks
« on: Saturday 07 October 06 21:53 BST (UK) »
This is one I've spent a few hours on.....

Thomas Quarm born about 1814 Plymouth.
In 1861 - 1871 living Rose Villa, St Johns Road Lambeth, civil engineer. Wife Mary Ann.

In 1841 appears to be  living Calvary Barracks Windsor. Wife Marianne, daughter Marianne age 3 and son Thomas aged 1. 
After that both Mariannes are Mary Annes.

I cannot find this family in 1851!!!

By then they also had sons George Quarm b 1848 Brixton, James  Quarm born 1845 Westminster, and possibly daughter Jane born 1851 Brixton.

My other query is: what were they doing in the Calvary barracks Windsor? Under occupation Thomas is described as 'father' so not very helpful......


Any help or suggestions would be appreciated   :)

Thomas was indeed in the Cavalry Barracks in Clewer in 1841. He was a Licensed Victualler and the Keeper of the Canteen. Unfortunately, the following year saw him petition for bankruptcy, and he spent a period of time in Reading Gaol. What is remarkable is the resilience he showed in re-establishing himself, becoming a civil engineer and designer. In the 1850's he secured the position of Clerk of the Works on the new Palace of Westminster, making Charles Barry's drawings a reality. The culmination of his career was the final construction of the Clock Tower, and the installation of Big Ben, regarded as one of the most technically challenging engineering projects for several decades.
