The Oregon Trail. 1820 - 1870.

[Lesanne]

Hiya, I'm back.
                 Rightio, 
                      Yep, the death in Reading.  Is that 2 yrs to young. But it's the only
          Andrew Albert around. So I can't dismiss it.

                      There is also a marriage in Totnes in Mar 1881 but our AA has no bride !!!
          typical. I have checked out the other couple...

           I would really appreciate the 1861 english census, as that would show me, not
            only Andrew & Mary, but also Henry b Jun1851 and A A b Aug 1852,
             possibly others before Thomas.

             Has the 1891 got anybody else on it?

             On the U.S. 1850 census for William & Sarah in New Lenox Illinois.
              I have Albert has the first born in Illinois c1846.
                 Would there be any reference to the birthplace of his mum and dad
                   on any of his American certificates etc.   

                                     Lesanne.   Thanks for all your time.

  Hi Grub,
                Thanks for taking the time to post the above 1861 census.

               Do tell me if this posting is as on your census?

               You see, I have various marriage / birth cert's.

              Andrew 1853...is? Andrew Albert 1852.
              Henry 1852.....is? Henry Wall 1851.

               Sarah 1830...could you give her surname.. as I have a Sarah b 1862.
                 It may be that she is an unknown (to me) sister to Andrew Snr !!

                                 Lesanne.

Hi Lesanne

Well AA only appears on the 1861 census aged 8 he doesn't show up on any of the others

here's 1891
22 Midgeham Green Newbury Berks

Andrew Norris aged 64 General Labourer    Deaf ( did you know that? )
Mary Norris     aged 61 Launderess b. Thorpe Mandaville Northants
Henrietta        aged 16 Launderess b. Holborn London


He seemed to have been deaf for a while I don't think it was just old age....

  Hey Annie,
                         Thanks Annie for all your info.

                           If only I had that info before.
                     It has answered so many questions.

                              Will get back to you once I have condensed it.

                                                 Lesanne.

OK Lesanne!

what's next???

  Hi Annie,
       In 1888 our Andrew Albert would have been 35. his birthday was 10th Aug 1852.
 For him to have gone to New york as a physician is quite possible.

 The next 2 people down on the 61 census were public school teachers.
 A.A.s  dad was in charge of the railway station and a rail policeman, so could have afforded better education I guess.

 At the moment I am trying to find a public school firstly on an old map.
 Possibly look in Oxford school registers. If this was the case, then he could have gone to visit his Uncle in Illinois or by then in Oregon, as a doctor of ?
 I only have US census up to 1870 with William & Sarah Norris.


                    This is great, thank you so much. Lesanne.

Do you happen to know the public schools the family members taught at?
he could have gone there .. cheap rates you know....!! discount and all that...
I'll see if I can find anything in the US
Let me know if you have an idea..
Annie
