Clara Currey Meadminster 1848

[Hutchin_Graham]

Hi,
    on the 1891 Census for Buckley Street, Edgeley, Stockport (my Town)

Clara Ennis is Head, Widow, age "42" from Gloucestershire, Meadminster, Bristol.
the transcription on Ancestry gives Meadmenster

I can only assume it should have read Bedminster.

Regards,
              Steve

Can we go back to the beginning? 

I take it Emily (Eleanor!?) is your ancestor?

Do you have her marriage certificate and can you please supply all the details, including witnesses?

How did you know you were looking for someone called Clara/ Jane in the first place?

I haven't been able to locate her, nor a CURREY family in earlier censuses within spitting distance of Bedminster!

Could do with some more clues please!

CURRY is not an an common name in Somerset, also variants such as CAREY.  It is also fairly common in the Liverpool area, where "owners" tend to be Scots or Irish immigrants.

Hoping to help

Looking at the other thread there are clearly two people (both found in 1871)

a Jane Ann Ennis, with parents Wiilaim and Helen Currie

and a Clara Ennis, possibly with father John Corless

The marriage for Jane Ann Currie (to a Philip Ennis) has been found (other thread clears up discrepancy)

The fly in the ointment seems to be Emily's birth cert, which gives mother as Clara nee Currey, and father as Philip

Good summary Liz - thanks

I wonder what address is given for the birth & who registered it?

It can be surprisingly helpful when this is near a census date, as people tend not to have had chance to run and hide, lol!

Thanks

And the Jane Ann says she was born Liverpool

And the Clara says she was born Bristol

And someone found Jane Ann's birth (Currie) in 1845 (on other thread) clearly W Derby reg area (incl Liverpool I believe)

so there arent as many mysteries as it appears.

just Emily's birth cert!!!

Moderators: any chance you can combine? Or lock other one and direst stuff here? I for one am gettnig confused!

[Arranroots]

Other topic now locked, as requested.

Jane Ann can be found with her family in Walton on the Hill in 1851 - lots and lots of siblings, but no Clara.

I won't bother transcribing them as they seem not to be relevant?!?

But just to tie up the loose ends on Jane Ann, I was trying to find her in 1881,
but couldnt.

However, it seems likely she remarried as there is a marraige for a Jane Ann Ennis in Oc/Nov/Dec 1873 in W Derby reg area.
to James Jenkinson or George Cunningham

[lizdb]

Perhaps that is not her remarriage, as still cant find her in 1881 under either name!

but there are possible deaths for both between 1873 and 1881
