MARY ANN DURELL -b Stepney 1849

[carol8353]

I think I have found the family in 1851.........what does anyone else think?

HO 107/1540 folio 38 page 68.......the writing is appalling- and Ancestry have them transcribed as DURDEL.Dad is down as Caleb !!!

They are at 81 Old Ford Road Bethnal Green.

Abel Durell head 29 b Bethnal Green- I think his profession is on the line above,but I'm blowed if I can read it...........something man(sorry  )
Mary wife 27 b Mile End
Mary dau 4 b Mile End
Abel son 11 mths b Mile End

and two lodgers Louisa Sherwin mar 44 silk weaver b Mile End
Sarah Shepherd unm 28 silk weaver b Bethnal Green

The writing is awful so some of the names above may be different 

Suggestions as to the validity of all this gratefully received .

Looking at this it all seems to fit except for the age of Habbit who should be 2 if he was born (as per birth certficate) in 1849.

I'm wondering if Habbit could have died before the census and Abel is another child born in 1851 who we haven't found yet ..........................

Hi,

From your post here,

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,48512.msg972582.html#msg972582

Habbit/Abel was born Sep 1849 that would make him 18 months old in Mar 1851, as Carol says, it's very hard to read  but maybe it shows Abel as 17mon  I really can't make it out.


I think the occupation is ???nce Bumboat Man see here,

http://rmhh.co.uk/occup/b2.html

Ooh Googling "bumboat man" I found amongst many explanations, this quote, "I am a licenced bumboat-man." here,

http://www.oldbaileyonline.org/html_sessions/T18170416.html

so I think the first word is Licence 


It's great to learn something new every day

Thanks Daisy

Love the "bumboat man" but water seems to come in quite a lot as he was a stevedore i 1863 when he died and a coal whipper in 1847 which is also connected with the water.

Hi girls

I agree with your licenced bumboat man 

Have you noticed how the whole page is 'one out'.

The places of births do not tie in with each person listed- there is a gap at the bottom of the page. So now strongly think that the first person is the bumboat man ie this possible Abel or Abbott Durrell.

And as Sue said he certainly was a man around the water- so the profession looks good too.

I think we've cracked it

Well done - all of you.

I feel quite redundant sitting here waiting for you to come up with all the answers!!

I quess my next query is about Richard and Mary Durell who appear to be Abbott/Habbit 's parents or maybe try and find out why Mary and Abel didn't marry until 1853.

Personally................

I think it reads Licenced beer tradesman   

and if I was you I would stay away from any site that mentioned bumboat! 

and the address appears to be

81 OLD FORD ROAD (definitely OLD FORD LANE on the previous page)
ABEL DURRELL  29  LICENCED M BEER TRADEMAN   MILE END, MIDDX
MARY       "        27                                                   BETHNAL GREEN, "
  "            "         4                                                    MILE END,           "
ABEL        "        17 MONTHS                                         "                      "

Sorry Bryant but looking at the image again, I can't see your Beer Trades man.

All I can see is Daisy's Bumboat

I can't see it but could it say licenced beer seller man?

'cos he is a beer seller on Eliza's birth cert (1853) and a Victualler on the wedding cert (also 1853)
