[heywood]

For information here is another thread mentioning William - you have posted there too so there might be a repetition of information

Not sure if you have this re Ada

Ada H S Fitzausten 11 yrs b Stepney Bow, Middlesex

She is a visitor in the household of John and Sarah Thompson in Hampstead.

thanks heywood, no I'd not found (nor I admit looked for) Ada in 1881.

Yes I just found the other thread today.
Hope the chap who posted originally responds even though he'd not been active beyond that thread back in 2012.

I am becoming increasingly interested in this family.
The DNA matches with the descendant of William Edward marr. CARTER are gradually getting narrowed down towards this line of her ancestry, although we aren't quite fully there yet.

Regarding the Thompson in 1881   (Have corrected my first post re census year)

Sarah Thompson would seem to be Sarah Biggs, the child

1861 census 26 Chatham Street Lambeth

Thomas Biggs 34 Bootmaker Chelsea
Sarah 33 Milliner Chelsea
Sarah 11 Lambeth
Thomas 9 Lambeth

Jennifer

Marriage September 1873 Mile End
John Thompson and Sarah Elizabeth Biggs

Their child John Thomas Eden Thomson b 1876

If I have read and understood the posts correctly:

Sarah Biggs Thompson would be half sister to Ada and William. Is that right?

Marriage September 1869 Whitechapel

William Austen and Sarah Biggs

From the other thread

Further with regards William -  In 1871 Census lived at 16 Regent Street South, Mile End Old Town, London, Middlesex and worked as a Railway Porter.  In 1881 Census lived at 10 Salmen Street, Mile End Old Town, London and worked as a Railway Servant Gouods Dept.  In 1891 Census lived at 43 Durrington Road, Hackney, Lambeth, London and worked as a Porter.  In Oct 1894 worked as an Engineer.  (Possibly in 1901 Census lived at Sidney Road, Homerton NE, London and listed as a Pauper (Married & Retired Railway Porter) as William Austin aged 71)?

Registered as Married in Whitechapel, Middlesex District in July/Aug/Sep 1869 (Vol.1c Page 778).  He (and Sarah Jane Blake/Biggs married on 17 Aug 1869.  I have a copy of their marriage certificate with Wiliams father mentioned as Robert Austen (but could have been entered as Austin as sloppy writing) as Solicitor deceased.

Sorry, not much at all to go on.

Yes, I believe so.
I thought when I looked at that 1881 that it sounded a bit familiar (that John THOMPSON was born Scotland caught my eye last time I looked at it -  and completely missed the connection to Ada despite Fitz Austen being on my radar), but I was in the middle of creating a blog post about all of this given I am increasingly convinced of the dots being joined here.
So hadn't gone to check that out further
