1881 Census check for Groom please..
« on: Thursday 04 January 07 22:09 GMT (UK) »
Samuel, a tinplateworker and born in 1842? was, I believe, resident at Garden Lane (St Oswalds) Chester.  Is someone able to confirm the address and those resident at the time of the census please?

Thank you

Hi Mark,

Welcome to RootsChat!

Transcripts of 1881 census are free to view on both www.ancestry.co.uk and www.familysearch.org

They give the address as 8 Raymond Street and with Samuel is Martha his wife and 7 children:

Emily 13
Ellen 12
Edith 10
Elizabeth 7
Thomas H 7
Martha A 3
Arthur 2

Samuel is shown as a Tin Smith.

Hope this is the right family for you.

Samuel Groom,Son,8
Sarah Groom,Dau,7
John Groom,Son,5.

Samuel's son, Thomas Henry was born in 1874 and remained in the Chester area where his first child (I believe) was born in 1903, in Shotton.

Can anyone confirm this from the 1901 census please?

Thank you

Hi Mark,

Had a quick, free, look at 1901 index and found a Thomas H Groom b Cheshire but living in Flints, Hawarden and working as a "stationary engine driver".

Did not spot any other Grooms that could fit the bill!  If this is not your man then he could be mistranscribed; every branch of my tree has mistranscriptions on 1901 census.

Thats him..

Can you direct me?

Thanks
