1871 lookup please. Harrow (Middlesex) Shepherd

[David Fleming]

I am looking for

Jane Shepherd, born ca1862 in Harrow, Middlesex.

Any information would be gratefully received.

She later married Aaron Wooster, of Harrow.

Hi David

Your information is a bit sparse to give you a successful look up

There are several Jane Shepherds on the 1871 census born c.1862 in Middlesex, but none of them were born in Harrow.

To narrow the field down a bit - any chance of her parents names

I'm sorry about the lack of information - unfortunately that is about all i know at present.    I am still rummaging, as one does.

[David Fleming]

I'm afraid it's all a bit messy!

the 1901 census (RG13 120b 30 52 321) gives her as Jane (Wooster) born 1862 in Harrow Middlesex.

The 1891 census (RG21/1039 Hendon. Harrow. 4a 90 14) gives her as born 1868 in Berkshire.

We know her maiden surname from the birth cert of one of her children.

Family tradition was that she came from "an old Harrow family" which is why I went with the Harrow date and place.
....but any advice would be great!

Hi David

On the 1871 census there are 125 people named Jane Shepherd.

6 of the above are shown as being born in Berkshire, but only 2 fall within your age range from the two census ages
        
Jane Shepherd 9 East Hanney, Berkshire, England   Daughter    East Hanney    Berkshire
Jane Shepherd 6 Didcot (Dudcott), Berkshire, England Daughter St Philip and St Jacob Gloucestershire
       

19 of them are shown as being born in Middlesex – but none in Harrow; and only 4 of them fall within your age ranges.

Jane Shepherd 5 Whitechapel, Middlesex, England   Daughter    St Mary Magdalen Bermondsey London
Jane Shepherd 6 Marylebone, Middlesex, England   Daughter    St Marylebone London
Jane Shepherd 8 Limehouse, Middlesex, England Daughter Stepney London
Jane Shepherd 7 Tottenham, Middlesex, England Daughter Tottenham Middlesex       

Do any of the details above look familiar or give you  'gut feeling' - if so, I will be happy to post full details

Hmmmm. None of them look likely at the moment. I'll have to work round it somehow.

Thanks for trying.

David.

David,
I think I may have some information you will find useful,  for example, Ethel Wooster, nee Benn, parents Adel Benn/Haryett and John Haryett of Wealdstone/Abertillary.
1901 census shows the family living in Wealdstone, Ethel then aged 12 (so born 1889-ish).
I have in my possession various letters written by Adel Haryett, some death announcements etc. Photo of the grave of Adels son, George (Ethels half-brother).
Adel came from Uppington, Wilts, and was born 1861.
Aaron Wooster (1881 census) age 13, born Watford, Herts.
around 1868, living in 1881 in Byron Rd Wealdstone.
Can you add to my researches?

Jill
