SENIOR sheffield

[yorkshirelass]

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.

Wendy i was wondering if you'd be able to check for Ann SENIOR in the 1861 census, she'd be aged 35 on it.

I followed up this info you got me and found William SENIOR on the 1871 census aged 43, edge tool maker, married but again a lodger.

on the 1891 census i found william SENIOR aged 63, edge tool maker< living with wife ann SENIOR aged 65, henry ROBINSON aged 40, lodger and frederick MILLWARD aged 20, lodger.

I'm not really understanding this mans life but if it would be possible to check in the 1861 census to see if ann SENIOR fits in with the william SENIOR 33, sarah ann SENIOR 11 and william jr SENIOR 9 you found before i'd be very much grateful

Thankyou

This gave me a funny turn. I was born just around the corner from the address in the census image. It occured to me that if they were living in that area at an earlier date there may be some record of the marriages and baptisms. There are some Seniors on the St Phillips registers, but none that fit.

Did find a fair few Burials though

For what its worth there were certainly Seniors in the area as late as the 1960s.   People around there didn't move much until the council demolished the area.
