I had seen this before ... I think it's worthy posting

Jane HARROWAY head wid 39 laundreess b Uxbridge (maybe telling fibs about age)
EMMA dau unm 18
Elizabeth dau 13
James son 12
Eliza dau 9
Jane dau 6
William son 2
all kids born Hillingdon

the other children tie in ...ie; James and Elizabeth

what do you think?

ye gawds ...how many other ways can this surname be spelled 

Jane Arraway June q 1855 Uxbridge  3a 14
or
Jane Holloway 1857 Apr-May-Jun    Uxbridge  (date off)

deb

added ..I can't find a Jane Woodcock b c 1816 in Uxbridge on IGI (search 1816 =/- 10 years)

[deb usa]

 

1871:
Jane Halloway, 19 servant, unm, b Hillingdon is working in the home of George Brooks and family at 45 Rockingham Rd , Hillingdon.

The Alloway family is no longer at 50 Rockingham rd!

re;1841
Hillingdon
William ...oway 20 lab
Jane 20
Susannah 13 months
Mary 3 months
all born in county

I have been looking for Susannah's birth circa late 1839 , early 1840

Look what I found;
Susan Woodcock 1840 Jan-Feb-Mar    Uxbridge 

I wonder ..... Jane Woodcock = William Harroway! I cannot find a Susan* Alloway/Halloway/Harroway etc born around that time in Uxbridge. I wonder if Jane Woodcock was married prior and William adopted  Susannah?

let me recheck a birth for Mary..... no nothing under Woodcock !

will look further

You have been busy, Deb!

I think I agree with you about Mary: Births June 1841 HARROWAY Mary Ann   Uxbridge 3 304
Also about the Susan WOODCOCK birth - had not got as far as thinking of that one!
Also think this one is right: Emma Harroway June 1843 Uxbridge 
vol 5 p 327

Well done finding them on the 1861 census. I admit they had nutty ways of spelling their name, but basically they stayed in the same place, which has been a great help. Imagine if they had moved around too! 

Yes, perhaps Jane had already been married once, but I think you are being very diplomatic. On my own family tree several of them seem to have thought it wasn't worth getting married unless the relationship had been fully tried and tested beforehand, so the ALLOWAYs may have felt the same way! Strict Victorian morality does not seem to have been as widespread as we are led to believe 

By the 1871 census I suppose the children had gone their separate ways:

1871
Uxbridge, Hillingdon
2 Canal Street
Emma WITTLE head mar 28 Boatman's wife b Hillingdon
Mary ALLOWAY dau 9 ...she nust be Mary Ann/Margaret who married Wm Grafton
Eliza ALLOWAY dau 6
George ALLOWAY 6 ( aka George Whittle)
Hannah WITTLE dau 4months
all born Hillingdon

a few houses away ... Jane Alloway widow, 60 b Uxbridge

Thank you for all this. You are a star.

Have been looking at the addresses in Uxbridge.

We have St John's Road, Rockingham Street, Canal Street, and Old Gas Yard Rockingham Road.

On Multimap Rockingham Road is the main A4007 through Uxbridge. It crosses the canal. Immediately after that it crosses the River Colne. As it crosses the river its name changes to St John's Road. Old Gas Yard is not there now, but the Gas Yards were almost always on the canal, so the coal for the Gas Works could be unloaded.

My mother-in-law was so funny. She used to say proudly, 'My mother was a countrywoman you know. She came from Uxbridge.' She had obviously never been back to Uxbridge herself, because it has all been built up for many years, I think. Not to mention London Airport...

Hi Lloyd

Welcome to Rootschat  I wish I had started my research at your age ... I would have asked all my old rellies lots of questions which may have made looking for dead rellies a lot easier

I see the marriage of George Alfred Whittle to Sybil.... Not sure if she is alive so don't want to mention her name;
ref; Dec q 1919 Guilford Surrey

also the birth reg of Sybil, their child ...1920

thanks for all the info
