1841 census Wells family

['Tricia]

1861

Crab Street Leicester

Robert Wells Head 22 Shoe Finisher b Leicester
Sarah wife 22 Mill Hand b Leicester

and at same address

William Lumley(??) Head 54 Night Sail man b Belgrave Leicester
Elizabeth Wells Sister Widow 56, Seamer, b Leicester
Henry Wells nephew 14 b Leicester
William Needham Boarder 48 widower Brewer b Leicester

All at same address but entered as 2 separate households.

So it looks as though Robert Wells is the son of Elizabeth.
William is her brother and Henry is her young son

(relationships refer to Head of household that is why he is nephew)

Hi, Angela

I've been trying to post 1871 for about 20 minutes but my computer has been playing silly beggars.

Would you like it? Elizabeth is still with brother and another son & others


I don't know how much you have got on this family.


Just shout - it seems stable at the moment - unlike myself - tearing my hair out

Hello Tricia,

Yes that would be great, I am reading it all.
I had some info last Saturday off another kind person on this site which sent be back to my 3xgreatgrandfather Joshua Wells and his wife Elizabeth which I did not know about until your help.
Their son Edward(my 2xgrandfather) was the line I was following,
so I have his birth, wedding to Francis Moore, census and death's.
So I would be interested in what happened to Elizabeth.
Thanks again and hope your computer is o.k.
Angela.

Happy to look for Edward's siblings through the census if you want them

Hello Tricia,

So glad your computer is working and thank you once again for your help it's much appreciated. Edward and Francis had 7 children as I have the 1861-1871 census, but thank you for the offer.


Edward Wells married Francis and one of their children was Edward, so I have followed him on the census 1861-1881 when he married an Elizabeth and one of their children was my Grandmother Beatrice. Well done.
Cheers, Angela.

Hello Tricia,

I found out the occupation title of Night soil man(William Lumley Elizabeth's brother) is when they would go around collecting waste material from households, don't fancy that  job aye Tricia.
