Census - have address, need to find family

[mommabear]

Don't know if this is in the right place but am sure someone will move it if it isn't. Hopefully.
I have a child Ella Agnes Cochrane death certificate. She was 4 when she died.

The Registration District is Thanet, sub district Ramsgate in Kent. Date is 1883.
Certificate says she died at 11 Camdon Road, Ramsgate.

What I am trying to find out is who the family were at this address because it was not her family that she was with. The mother, father and siblings were elsewhere at the time of her death. Although it did say her father was present at time of death and his address was 29 Sydney Road, Stockwell.

Can I find out using 1881 census who was at this address. I have a feeling she was too ill to travel and was left with her aunt and uncle. If so this would give me a lead to a relative of the guy I am chasing.

Please can anyone help.

This link should show the full 1881 census entry.

Jane Elizabeth Pullman married Christopher H Miller in 1866, if that is of any help. GF

Thank you stumped and Glen Field. Loved the link. Was getting myself in knots trying to find the census.

Not a Cochrane in sight.

I really thought this was going to help but am even more confused than I was before I posted.

Can only think maybe the people living there in 1881 might be different to the ones in 1883.

Back to the drawing board unless anyone has any other ideas.

Why do you think the family was elsewhere at the time of her death?

She died in a lodging house in Ramsgate so seems to me the family were having a holiday by the seaside; just like people do today.

ByanHoggarth the reason being because two children were born in Ireland in 1882 and 1883 so presumed that's where the family where living.

My maternal grandmother's family were in Islington, London in the 1911 census but their youngest child Frederick aged 7 was not at home.  They weren't particularly well off, it was unlikely he was away at school and it took a long time before I eventually found him.  He was staying in a lodging house in Poole, Dorset with four other unrelated children from Islington.  The only conclusion I can come to is that it was a convalescent home by the sea, maybe he and the others were in need of restorative sea air after some illness.

What was Ella's cause of death?  Maybe that could give a clue?

Hi Momma bear

If you haven't already done so it might be easier to start a thread looking for the guy you're chasing, giving all the information you already have.  

Otherwise we're likely to go off on tangents searching for the wrong people

Heather that could be a valid point.

She died of diphtheria exhaustion. So maybe you are on the right track saying she was convalescing.

Linda I haven't started another thread on the guy I am chasing as he was born in Gibraltar. I know someone else on here did at one time which is how I found this site.

I have been in touch with relatives I have found over the last few years and we have all come to a halt at the same man. I just thought another avenue might lead me back to a relative of his but no luck so far.

Thank you both for your input. Other people's views are most appreciated.
