Any info about CHEW family, Aston after about 1892

[Geoff Chew]

Has anyone any information about the family of Ebenezer CHEW (up to the present if possible), living in Aston from around 1892?  Until recently I have known about this family only in Northamptonshire and London. The 1901 census record (PRO ref RG 12/2889), with some annotations where I have further info, shows the following:

59 Rocky Lane, Aston Manor

1. Ebenezer CHEW, Head, M, age 45. occupation Under timekeeper, Timber Yard, worker, born Northps, Wadenhoe, Oundle
2. Susannah CHEW [née Susannah Caroline SKINNER], Wife, M, age 44, born Kent Woolwich
3. Annie E[lizabeth?] CHEW, Daur, S, age 25, occupation Warehousewoman (Button factory), worker, born London St Mary's Islington
4. Minnie R. CHEW, Daur, S, age 24, occupation Warehousewoman (Gilt Jewellers), worker, born London St Saviours Southwark
5. Daisy M[illicent?] CHEW [perhaps the Daisy Millicent married Aston, Sep Qtr 1908], Daur, S, age 18, occupation Gold finisher, Jewellers, worker, born London St Mary Islington
6. Lilian M. CHEW, Daur, S, age 16, occupation Pupil school teacher, worker, born London Kennington
7. William J[ohn] E. CHEW, Son, S, age 14, occupation Shop boy (Opticians), worker, born London Kennington
8. Frederick A[rthur[ J. CHEW, Son, S, age 12, born London St Mary Islington
9. Rosaline V[iolet] CHEW, Daur, S, age 11, born London Kilburn
10. Harold O[liver] CHEW, Son, S, age 8, born Warwickshire Birmingham St Pauls parish

I am mainly concerned to trace them forwards to the present, but if anyone has details of them from 1891, that would be a bonus. Or even 1881, as they don't appear in the 1881 census online, but seem likely I think to have been in London then nevertheless. They are not my direct line, but Ebenezer was the brother of my great-grandfather James CHEW, one of whose sons was also involved in the jewellery business but in London.

Thanks
Geoff

I can't find anything in the 1871 & 1881 Census returns

Happy hunting

Thanks Darren, extremely useful. With 1881 I have tried various possibilities on the assumption that "Chew" might have been misread, looking for all Ebenezers and all Susannahs across the country with more or less the right birthdate, etc, but still have come up with nothing.

Still, they must be somewhere.

Thanks again

PS: Ebenezer (I think it was him -- "E. Chew, Son") was living at 39 Grafton Road, Islington, London, in November 1882 when his father John Baker CHEW died, being the informant of the death. I haven't found a way of searching the LDS site for the 1881 census by address, though: I would like to know who was at that address in 1881.

Hi Geoff,
Your interest in 39 Grafton St. got me going! I thought there has to be a way to find out who was living there.

Well, after much trawling...I found it!....problem is ...no Chews there!

39 Grafton St. is occupied by a James Francis and his son and Mother in Law

If you put in Sophia Guest born 1820, you will find them.

I trawled through a good many pages of Islington with no luck re: Chew.

I think they must have been omitted. 

Sorry,

Correction:
It was Grafton Road!

Thanks India

Actually you've got me quite puzzled.   A relative of mine by some happy chance also found 39 Grafton Road and found quite different people there! A family of GRINTERs (what kind of name is that? well you could ask the same about CHEW I suppose...), one of HOWEs, one of MEREDITHs with a HUNT, and one of NEWMANs ... quite a houseful but no CHEWs!  But OK, I'll go in search of Ms GUEST as well and see what she has to offer me.

Thanks again
Geoff

Hey India

Curiouser and curiouser.  There are two quite separate entries under 39 Grafton Road, London, Middx. Yours is certainly there, FHL film 1314060, PRO ref. RG11, piece 0277 folio 9 page 11.  The other one with all those other families is there, FHL film 1341047, PRO ref. RG11, piece 0213 folio 24 page 42. No CHEWs in either of them. Could there be more 39 Grafton Roads out there do you think???
