Address 1901 census - Co.Durham
« on: Sunday 11 September 05 07:41 BST (UK) »
Is it possible for someone to look up an address in 1891 & 1901 census please, and let me know who was living there.
I don't know if this is possible.
The address is "The Bush", Hexham, Co.Durham.
I have been looking for an Albert Hunter in the 1901 for a couple of years.  I found one in a school in Yorkshire, a couple of years ago, but didn't think it was the right one.  Now it's looking like another relative may have moved to Yorkshire and married.  And as this child was an orphan by 1901, it may be that it is him after all and am trying to work out who may of taken him on.
This is the address given by the school when he joined in 1900.
Thanks

Hi Sue

You can search the 1901 Census index by address yourself and purchase the details

http://www.1901census.nationalarchives.gov.uk/index.html

The index shows 'The Bush Inn' at Hexham (Northumberland).

Hi Helen K and Peter
Thanks for the reply.
I have tried using 1901 and it always comes up as address not known.  I have now tried the different ways, under Durham, Northumberland, Hexhamshire and The Bush Inn and Eads Bush.
Thanks again for replying.

Hi Sue

This is how I found the index entry:

Click on address search
Click on Additional Address Details
At House enter Bush
At Administrative County enter Northumberland
At Town enter Hexham
Click search

The Bush Inn is the only entry that comes up and you can purchase the image from there.

I can look at the 1891 Census for you - when was Albert Hunter born ?

Hi Helen K
Thanks for that.  No matter what way I put it it in, it never worked.  But I've got it now thanks.
It's no good looking for Albert Hunter in the 1891, as he was still in London then.  It was the people that were in the Bush that I was after to see if I could link them with Albert in some way, before they sent him to this school in Yorkshire.  I am trying to work backwards, as nothing else has worked in the last two years, that I have been trying to find him.
Thanks again

Hi Sue

Are you certain that Albert was orphaned by 1901?

I've found this family in 1901 at Bush Farm who had a 4 year old Albert in 1891- could be a coincidence!!

Bush Farm, Newbrough, Northumberland
HUNTER
James Head Mar 59 Farmer & Agricultural Engineer Durham Medomsley
Ann Wife Mar 55 Durham Chopwell
Elizabeth Dau S 23 Durham Ryton
George W Son S 20 Farmers Son Northumberland Hexham
Ann Dau S 17 Northumberland Hexham

Hi Helen K
Thanks for that, I think that I can rule him out then.  The school in Rawdon on the 1901 census says that he was born in London.  But the address they gave me from where he came was the Bush, Hexham, Co Durham. so obviously they got his birth place wrong on the 1901 census.
Back to square one then for me.
Thanks for all your help.  Without it, I would still be barking up the wrong tree.

Hi Sue

I've seen the 1901 Census entry for Albert W Hunter aged 14 born London resident at the school in Yorkshire.

This Albert W does seem to belong to the above Hunter family as in 1891 he is resident with them aged 4 years born Hexham.

If you let me know what you know of your Albert I may be able to help.

Regards
