The Diary of Nathaniel Bryceson (Part 4)

[Siamese Girl]

Mary Ann Nodes is difficult to find on the census. However I think she married Alfred Nodes in 1867 (Free BMD) and then as a widow she married John Sumner Barton, a widower 28 September 1878 St John Hackey. She named her father as Henry Oliver Nodes undertaker, so its definitely her.

Alfred Nodes appears as a baby on the 1841 census as the son of George Nodes undertaker. George (Alfred) Nodes married Maria Barton 5 May 1840 St Pancras. I guess that's what they call keeping it in the family!

Shaun and Carole. Great finds both of you! 

Manodes. What the?! Surely a transcription error or misinterpretation of some sort? I hope Westminster Archives are reading this so they can check to see where the error was made.

I hope you enjoy your walk Steven. It sounds like you will be enjoying some lovely countryside. I must check google maps to see where you're headed.

Mary Ann Nodes is difficult to find on the census

In 1861, I think she's in lodgings in Prittlewell in Essex, occupation assistant mistress. Indexed as Mary Ann Nocks. RG9/1084/16/25.

And in 1871 at 45 Arthur Road, Islington with Alfred and two children RG10/299/63/59

I found some Nodes's ( ) - I think it must have been back in Part 1 or 2? Yes, Carole, loads of his kids died. I remember one was moved and re-buried in a different cemetery with a sibling that died later.

Hello

James Robinson's daughter born July 24th Pimlico was Charlotte. In 1851 the family is living 22 Bell Street and James is a widower. Mother of child may have been Sarah and the family lived on Narrow Street, Parish St Ann, Limehouse in 1841.

Hi Carole

I've wondered about Schlencker (along with just about every other surname beginning with "S)

Does look promising. I wonder if there may be a Wood grandaughter for Paul (John  ) Bunyan to possibly back this up.

(you mean John Bunyan Linda  ) I did look for James Robinson last week but wasn't sure which was the right one. Are they in Commercial Road in 1841?

Not much news today from Nathaniel's world. If he'd waited till next weekend he could've caught the train to Richmond and back instead of walking for 12 hours.

I would also like an update on the puppies.

From the children's birth locations on census, looks like the Robinson family moved around a bit.
