1861/1871 census for Smetzer at St George Hanover Square

[Robyn Simpson]

I am looking for the family of Benjamin & Mary Smetzer.  Benjamin was born in Cripplegate and would be aged 40 in 1861. I don't know if there are any children in '61 but there is at least 2 ( Blanche & Selby) in '71

Thanks

This is the only match I can see on 1861 and as you haven't posted details from1871 I have nothing to cross reference it with.

If this isn't your man perhaps we could have 1871 information.

The image is dreadful and address looks like 90 Oxford or Orford Street
 
Benjamin Smitzer 1829  London, Middlesex,  Head Hosiery Salesman  Chorlton upon Medlock  Lancashire
Mary Smitzer 1826  London, Middlesex,  Wife Artifical Florist  Chorlton upon Medlock  Lancashire     
Ada Bertha Smitzer 1860  Manchester Daughter  Chorlton upon Medlock  Lancashire   
 Mary Fitzgereald 1840  Ireland Servant  Chorlton upon Medlock  Lancashire   

They obviously get around judging by daughter's birthplace

That is my man.

I don't have anymore info for 1871 except that there are three children by then  Ada Bertha born 1860, Selby born 1863 and Blanche born 1867. Maybe they are at Pimlico as this is where the 1881 census says that Blanche was born. By the 1881 Benjamin is dead and Mary and the 3 children are at St George Bloomsbury, London.

Thanks

Sorry, I got mixed up - it was very late last night - I thought you had found them on 1871

I will have another look for you but from memory there wasn't one single listing.

Here goes............................

Thank goodness for unsual names!

Wesley House - no other details

Benjamin Smelzer 1829  City, Middlesex,  Head Hosiery Warehouseman  Battersea  London   
Mary Smelzer 1827  Marylebone, Middlesex,Wife  Battersea  London   
Ada Smelzer 1861  Manchester, Lancashire,  Daughter  Battersea  London
Selby Smelzer 1863  Manchester, Lancashire,Son  Battersea  London   
Blanche Smelzer 1868  Pimlico, Middlesex,  Daughter  Battersea  London 

Doesn't help when they are mistranscribed and birthplaces varify.

Selby Smetzer is a bit of a mouthful to say but he has won the day  
The bloke who wrote on the original image forgot to cross his 't''

Do you have Benjamin's death reference and Blanche's marriage reference?

I noticed a posting for a Thomas Smetzer last night but now can't find it. Are you still looking for him?

Tricia

[Robyn Simpson]

I am looking at any Smetzer in England because so far they are all related
