Lloyd London Mystery

So might well be her family 

I think father has been mis transcribed for 1841, original image looks like Jas (a water bailiff I think by occupation - 1851 he shows as Tide xxxx)

And then in 1851 in Mile End Old Town Upper, Stepney:

Jas Cheatham    62
Elizh Cheatham 57
Elizh M Cheatham 26
Jas Wm Cheatham 24
Chas H Cheatham 22
Frank Geo Cheatham 16

That 1851 occupation for Cheatham pere looks like "tide sawyer" or "tide lawyer" . What can it be?

Elizabeth Cheatham senior was from Minehead per the 1851. Genuki has this Minehead baptism:

28 Jan 1823   Benjamin Forrest son of James & Elizabeth Cheatham of Saint Dunstan Stepney London, Tide-Waiter ?

Tidewaiter - Customhouse officer who secured payment of duty from merchant vessels coming in to port

Would fit with him showing as bailiff (?very faint in 1841)

There is an Ancestry tree for the line of James Cheatham and Elizabeth Forrest. Can't see any mention of Lavinia to them. First born showing is the one that you have Shaun, Benjamin Forrest Cheatham in 1823. Marriage shows on 1820 25 Jun, St Augustine the Less, Bristol.

Which tree did you see an entry for Lavinia with brothers Shaun?

[MonicaL]

I can see the tree now Shaun. I think someone is getting lines mixed up perhaps? The info for this tree is taken from that 1841 census entry with father showing as Thomas (i.e as indexed by Ancestry).

From searches the other day, I thought this was likely to be Lavinia in 1841:

Lavinee Cheater, 19, in Islington - HO107; Piece 665; Book: 9;Folio: 32; Page: 24

Have found Lavinia's baptism. Transcribing.......
