Edward Lapthorn TROTT - 1871 Census

[Yorick the Tog]

I am trying to find this Edward in the 1871 census. I have him in all censuses from 1851, when he was 8, to 1901, except '71.

He was born in Shepperton, Surrey in 1843 to William & Mary Trott. He was married to Martha Elizabeth Woodward in 1865 (reg'd in London) She died in 1883, so in 1871 he would have been 28 & married. In 1881 they lived in Bolton, Lancs.

He married again in 1885, to Hephzbah ?, in Bolton. He died in 1921, aged 78 in Fylde, Lancs.

Can anyone help with any info, please?

Wow, that was quick.  Thanks at lot ricky1.

Edward is not relation to me but I have a lot of Trotts etc on a database and I was missing that bit about him.

Do you have any Trott connections yourself?

Hi Gaie,

Thanks for the info.  If Woodward is correct for Hephzbah's maiden name it would mean that Edward married his late wife's sister! 

[Gaie]

Ooh, I hadn't twigged that when I made my posting.  At least they kept it in the family....

Kind regards

Hi Gaie,

I have just found Hephzibah Woodward ( in the 1861 census for Greenwich, together with her widowed mother, Susanna and sisters, Martha (16) & Harriet (3).

I have not been able to find Hephzibah in 1871 although I did eventually find her mother, Susanna twice!  Once living with her married daughter, Martha & Edward Lapthorn Trott. (see earlier posting from rick1) and also as a cousin, William J Hunt (both in Greenwich).

Note to rick1

I have eventually found 1871 census record for Edward L Trott - but not directly. I searched for his son Herbert, born 1870 as a Trett.

Thanks again for your info.
