1891 Census Lookup please Islington

[Chris Ridley]

Hello

I'm trying to find out about my GG Grandmother Jane Leader (widow). She lived in Islington and was living in Blundell street in 1881 so she could possibly still be living there?

She probally would have had at least 3 of her children living with her .. Minnie, Florence and Jessie and possibly Earnest and William.

So if poss would any one be able to look in the 1891 and maybe the 1901 census for me, to see what information there is.

I would really appreciate this help.

Kind regards

Chris Ridley

Thanks so very much Carole for your prompt and helpful reply

I was just about to send a query about the discrepancies in age between the two Census (Cenci?) when I got another post from Devis with amended ages.

I have also just seen the posts about Jessie Emma (thank you Devis and Kath) I presume the name of the Family she worked for is not easy to read but is probally the same ? I do knows Jessie eventually got married in 1899 to a George Witts.

Thanks very much to all of you for helping me solve this query it's extremely interesting and very helpful.

Kind Regards

Chris

Yes Devis, thanks for that... Thats my my direct line... Alice was my G. Grandmother and Robert was my Grandfather... I've just about completed the Ridley side of my family research.. but actually know very little about the Leader side so any help is really appreciated..

Kind Regards
