Staffordshire surnames

[Wmouse]

I am looking for information on Charles William Harlow born 1882, Burton on Trent. His parents listed on his death registration are John Woolley and Caroline Harlow. I have found John and Caroline on the 1881 census but not on the 1891 census. Can anyone help, please.

Hiya wmouse

I think this might be a contender for Caroline

202 Horn Road, Horniglow

William Loverock aged 68 head b Burton on Trent Farmer
Maria Loverock aged 64 wife b Horniglow
Annie Maria Loverock aged 22 daughter b Horniglow
Caroline Woolley aged 46 widow b Horniglow general servant

Source RG12/2206 Folio 77

I know the age isn't right but on the 1871 census she is listed as 27 and on the 1881 she is listed as 40. I cannot find any reference for John's death but as he isn't appearing anywhere else in the 1891 census it may be that the BMD reference just hasn't been transcribed yet

Thanks willow,

Willow,

This helps alot.

It may also explain the difference in the different surnames, if she left Charles William to be raised by her brother. Now I just have to find her brother.

I think she had a younger brother named George, but I am not sure.

My ggrandfather's name was John Clarence, which were supposed to be traditional family names on Charles William's side, if that helps at all.

Thanks again.

Hiya wmouse

Do you think this might be them in the 1891 census?

191 Stafford Street Burton upon Trent

John Harlow head aged 42 Bricklayer
Clara Harlow wife aged 31
John aged 8 son
Walter aged 6 son
Elizabeth aged 4 daughter

all born Burton upon Trent

Source RG12/2206 Folio 57

That is the only John aged around 8 listed for Stafford in the 1891 census. The nearest ones are aged 5 and 19. I have looked for a marriage certificate for John and Clara but there isn't one listed. I wonder if this is her brother?

I did look for a George but the two born in Horniglow are aged 44 and 13 - The 13 year old ones father is called George too

Hi willow

This John could be a brother. I will try and research it further on my end. Did you come across any Charles Harlow's in the 1891 census? From what information I have Caroline did have a brother named Charles who was christened at the same time as her in March 1846. Her parents names were George and Elizabeth Harlow, I do not know Elizabeth's maiden name. As I said Charles William is something of a mystery to us. 

I appreciate the information you have given me.

Thanks Willow,

That means a lot to me. Now at least I know who Caroline's parents were.
As I said I really appreciate the time you are putting in finding this information for me.
