1871 census TILBURY in Bromley

[davidft]

Thank you for your help; the pob is even more puzzling! I don't have a WT born there then,

Hi Caro

www.Familysearch.org has this baptism of a William Tilbury from Old Windsor that ties in with the 1841 census KGarrad found. It could be that William increaased his age a little on the 1861 census to enhance his status as a Butler (ie not too young)

Name: William Tilbury
Gender: Male
Baptism/Christening Date: 18 Jan 1835
Baptism/Christening Place: Old Windsor, Berkshire, England
Father's Name: James Tilbury
Mother's Name: Anne Sophia Tilbury

Thanks for all the help with WilliamT. You're right, his parents were James & Sophie - and I got it wrong (from memory - huh) Robert went to Cambridge, and his son Hubert Francis went to Oxford. Robert & wife Dorothy may have accompanied a group of emigrants to USA, then returned, but can't prove it.

Now to research William further: this family is a bit of a mystery, difficult to fit into the - back to 16thC - general Bucks tree.

Having received a pension back-payment, I invested it in a findmypast sub, so hope to have made life both easier and more exciting for myself.
