Liza Free - Croydon late 1800s.

[Mort29]

OK, the 1861 seems to match her PoB, allowing for a small mistran both by the Enumerator and the modern transcription.

1861 census of Dagenham, Essex RG9; Piece: 1069; Folio: 50; Page: 17

Charles Free 34 Head of Household born Cambs 'Harheath': an Ag Lab
Mary Ann Free 30 Wife Cambs, West?michter?
Eliza Free 16 dau Cambs, 'Horheath'
Agnes Free 14 dau ditto
Judith Holdle Free 4 dau ditto
George W Free 7 son Essex, Barking
Thomas Alfred Free 11Mo son Essex, Dagenham

Isaac Foster 26 Lodger born Essex, Hempstead

Look closely at the Foster Lodger - his PoB matches Solomon's in 1871 ! Mabe a relation?

Also, I'd wager this is a 2nd marriage for Charles given Mary Ann's age and the kids ages ...


In 1851 census of Horseheath, Cambridgeshire HO107; Piece: 1761; Folio: 353; Page: 22 - Eliza is a Visitor in the Household of John Free - I'm guessing that he is her Uncle ....

Back to the Fosters...... in 1881 - RG11; Piece: 816; Folio: 101; Page: 59 Croydon .... Eliza isnt there. This is the Family as shown on the Enumerators Page at 44, Warren Road.
 
Soloman Foster 37 Head of Household born Essex, Hempstead: a Coal Porter
Charles Foster 15 son born Croydon: a Carman
Soloman Foster 11 son ditto
William Foster 8 son ditto
Walter Foster 6 son ditto
Alfred Foster 3 son ditto
Sarah Foster 17 dau born Essex, Walthamstow
Eliza Foster 13 dau born Croydon
Florance Foster 9 dau ditto
Sarah Chote 27 NIECE born Sussex, Hampstead??


Age closely matches ...

Deaths Mar 1880 
 
FOSTER  Eliza  36  Croydon  2a 168

 
 
 

[Mort29]

Deaths Sep 1899
   
Foster  Solomon  age 56  Croydon  2a 147


leaving this as a memory jogger, as I havent been able to see him yet in the 1891 census.

Added: Think this is him - spelled Solimm or similar - Lodging in Ely Road, Croydon - RG12; Piece: 593; Folio 111; Page 55 'Licenced Lodging House'

age is shown 'NK', but amended to 35 !: PoB is 'NK' - occupation is General Labourer .... strangely shown as 'Married'

We could try and trace the younger kids if you like ?

Isaac Foster seen with the Free family in 1861, was indeed Solomon's brother ..

1851 census of Hempstead, Essex HO107; Piece: 1786; Folio: 629; Page: 29
 
Charles Faister (sic) 48 WIDOWER Head of Household: Ag Lab
Ann Faister 18 dau
Isaac Faister 15 son
Eliza Faister 13 dau
Harriet Faister 11 dau
Soloman Faister 7 son


all state born Hempstead (Saffron Walden Reg District)

In 1861 RG9; Piece: 1069; Folio: 50; Page: 17 - Solomon is Lodging in Dagenham - virtually next door to the Free family and his brother Isaac.


Jumping back to the 1841 census HO107; Piece 329; Book: 8; Civil Parish: Hempstead; County: Essex; Enumeration District: 7; Folio: 17; Page: 28 we see Isaac & Solomon's mother and siblings.

Daniel Foister 15
Stephen Foister 13
Elizabeth Foister 10

Isaac Foister 5

Thank you again,

it appears there is a change in the spelling of the name, or might this be an enumerator's error?

Regards.

Ely Road is interesting, and the younger kids would be too?

Happy New Year Mort29, and thanx.
