James Oliver brn 1833 Sithney
« on: Tuesday 15 July 25 07:16 BST (UK) »
Hi All
I am trying to find what happened to James Oliver after 1881. At this time on the census he is living with his wife Amelia and son William J in Meneage Street, Helston.

James Oliver Head Age 47 Master Cabinet Maker brn Sithney
Amelia Oliver Wife Age 30 brn Scotland
William J Oliver Son Age 8mths brn Helston

In the 1891 census Amelia his wife is located in the Falmouth Orphanage as below

Amelia Oliver WIDOW Age 40 Matron brn Arbroath Scotland

I can find no death or census entries for JAMES after the 1881 census, however I have found that JAMES was a bankrupt in 1882, this is where his story appears to end. His son William J also appears to go missing from any further censuses etc.

Any ideas or help would be appreciated

Thanks

Thanks Neale1961, I have emailed the Reedham School to see if they have any records on William or his parents, It’s a long way from South West Cornwall to Croydon, but anything is possible and the ages all fit in perfectly.

Thanks for your help

Agreed. You won’t know until you look at the record.
