SANFORD, Samuel & Sophia - 1901 Census

The only way you will ever be totally sure about this family is to buy some certificates .... starting with either the marriage or birth certificate of Leslie H SANDIFORD.  Work backwards using that information.

Hi


If you prove this line through necessary certificates - it continues back


1841 census HO107 737/6 folio 24
9 Great Smith Street St John the Evangelist Westminster Middlesex
with the Wheeler family
Benj Sandiford ap shoe m born in county

possible Burial
23rd February 1838 St John the Evangelist Westminster Middlesex
Alexander Sandiford aged 51 Jefferies Gardens


There is an Alexander Sandiford baptising children 1871-1820 at St Margaret Westminster both legitimately and illegitimately (legitimate wife Elizabeth) but he was a sawyer (I have access to only intermittant Westminster parish entries). It could be that Benjamin or the parish clerk entered the wrong occupation for Alexander on Benjamin's marriage certificate and after deceased added shoemaker - Benjamin's occupation.

There are two other Sandifords whose marriages name an Alexander Sandiford as their father but all with the occupation of eirth sawyer or carpenter.

20th December 1858 St John the Evangelist, Lambeth Surrey (just across Westminster bridge from Westminster)
James Sandiford Full Age Bachelor Shoemaker New Cut Alexander Sandiford Sawyer
Mary Hazel Full Age Spinster New Cut John Hazel Plasterer
Mary made her mark
Witnesses mark of George Martin and mark of Mary Lay

also William Spencer Sandiford, fisherman, who married in Poplar in 1855 had an Alexander Sandiford carpenter as his father. Older children if they survived would probably have married before the start of civil registration.


1861 census RG9 49 folio 73
2 Miles Buildings St John the Evangelist Middlesex
James Sandiford 29 Head Married Shoemaker Westminster Middlesex
Mary Sandiford 24 Wife Married Cork Ireland
Catherine Sandiford 1 Daughter St John the Evangelist Westminster Middlesex


1841 census HO107 738/20 folio 18
St Margaret Westminster workhouse
William Sandiford 13 Pauper
James Sandiford 10 Pauper
both born in county

Hi everyone, I am really excited to see all this conversation about SANDIFORD.  One of my main lines is Thomas POLLARD who marr. Harriet SPENCER, and I have a Harriet POLLARD (daughter of above Thomas) marrying Benjamin SANDIFORD in about 1849.  I also have a Thomas POLLARD (brother of above Harriet) who marr. a GREENLAW and the witnesses were Benjamin SANDIFORD and Harriet SANDIFORD.

I have not been able to go back any further than Thomas and Harriet POLLARD (nee SPENCER).  I can't find her birth nor parents to save myself.

I sure would appreciate any help unravelling this group, they are driving me nuts!!
Regards
Maree
