SENIOR sheffield

[yorkshirelass]

i'm having trouble finding william SENIOR.

He was born around 1820 ish (guessing). I know very little about him.

 He had a daughter sarah ann SENIOR b.1850.

On sarah anns marriage certificate 1868 it states that william SENIOR was living on pearl street, sheffield. his occupation then was an edge tool striker?? cutler anyhow

Any help much appreciated

Hi Yorkshirelass

this is a meaning I found for hafter,

A handle or hilt, especially the handle of a tool or weapon.
tr.v. haft·ed, haft·ing, hafts
To fit into or equip with a hilt or handle.

Hiya Wendy

It could well be. I'll use this to see what else i can come up with.

All i have is one of his daughters wedding certificate from 1864. I need to get that back. When i got it i showed it my mum, she was like "oh thats great, can i take it?" so its at her house now somewhere.

On there William's wife wasn't present, it was another bloke so assumed she had died.

Maybe she did and he remarried, there's a big age gap between george and john.

This will keep me busy for a while, thanks Wendy

Wendy on the 1861 census does it show the rest of the people living in the same house?
I was wondering if you did a search for Sarah Ann Senior b.1850 sheffield would it show the William Senior i'm looking for. Maybe you already did this and i'm being a patronising cow lol sorry.

HI Rachel

Your not being patronising, honestly.  I tell you like many others I do that many search a day it's hard to remember what I ahve done never mind which way I have done it.

Anyway had a look for Sarah a Senior

there was one that came up aged 11 born Sheffield but it doesn't list them as a family unit so unless we have other names to go its very very very costly looking for all Senior in sheffield.

anyway going on the fact that we know her father was william I had another look for Wm, found him but no occupation listed on this census he is down as being 33 born Sheffield and his ref numbers matched up with those of Sarah a senior 11 and ther was also a Wm junior aged 9 born sheffield again same numbers.


so going on that here below is that Wm senior (senior) in hte 81 census.  Not his job, this must be the right one, this time, lol.
