UK 1831 Census, Hackney

[Catrina]

Hi Valda

These children were almost certainly born of an Indian lady and I wondered what their lives would have been like, particularly as it was early in the 19th century. Elizabeth was 15, John 11 and youngest Maria Margaret 5 years, when sent to England.
I think it would have been especially difficult for Elizabeth to adapt.

Thanks for the website you sent it made interesting reading.

Hi - I happened across this chain today and as I have copies of the 1811 Parish Returns for Hackney & part of the same for 1821, I took a look. Now I know this is an earlier period than the original enquiry asked about but in 1811 there is a William WARD staying at the Rivers Lodging House in Well Street. The family lived abroad but perhaps Hackney is where they stayed if and when they made earlier trips back for whatever purpose? Hope this may be of some use. Hilary

Hello

What a surprise to receive this post. The query is so old I thought it
must have been sent by mistake. After poking about for some time I
found it really was my request.

It was very kind of you to reply. I never did find the children in
their early years (schooling and such) and never did find the
youngest. Those early years would have been interesting. The older boy
and girl I have trace right up to the present.

Once again thank you for your response.
