Looking for Grace Edwards in 1871/1881

[Ladyhawk]

1881 census is proving very difficult 

Not found Edward George Neaves born to Edward & Fanny on the 1881 census either

I think this is the correct Edward George

George Edward Neaves 23, cabinet maker married 1893
father Edward, painter

George's occupations, Cabinet maker 1901, Painter 1911 , House decorator 1921

Adding snippet 1891 census for George E Neaves born c 1870 Kilburn occ cabinet maker

Yes that looks like him.

Worse case scenario what would the nearest workhouse be to the addresses we have around 1881?

Maybe they were all bundled in there together for a short time and worth a look through to see if anybody, even if just initials, stands out. 

[softly softly]

Had to get out the A-Z re addresses. Believe Cardington St and Hampstead Road are one of the same and were used interchangeable. So from 1878 Clara birth-1880 marriage. Pratt St appears on the scene from 1881 -3, approx 200-300 yards from Cardington Street.

Were they large houses only looking through Cardington Street for 1881 there seem to be a lot of people living at one house number.  Different heads of families so I wonder if they were lodging there and just missed off for some reason.

Hi,

I have been following this thread and are amazed as what has been discovered.

Just to add a long shot at a possible 1881 census link -

Ancestry has a Lester child age 3 born Marylebone resident at 54 Carlisle Street, Marylebone with a family headed by a widow Sarah Beament age 62 born Patton, Buckinghamshire (incorrect and amended by added comments)

Described as Nurse Child and Ancestry has her christian name showing as ??DI. Difficult to decipher the first name but could it possibly be Clara Amelia Maud Lester - there is no sign of mother?

Just a thought

Now that is a real possibility well found.

It could say Maud(e) rather than Clara which was one of her names anyway.

Have been following her and found a photo on a tree.  Quite a sad photo as she doesn’t look well and died at 30 after having 6 children.  No parents shown for her.  Am tempted to get the marriage to see who she puts for her father, if anyone.  If she did name one then would be some comfort she at least knew who he was as she isn’t with family as a child.

Hi,

I have just done the same and found trees on Ancestry - most private but there is at least one suggesting father is Charles Lester. This shows her as Claire not Clara.

Burial 6 Oct 1908, Acton Cemetery, Ealing - grave no N88/G, interment no 6353

Marriage in June Qtr 1905 - Brentford - Vol3a Page 320 -  to Thomas Arthur Wilkins (born 1877)

A shame none of the trees have the marriage detail.

If I'm looking at the right 1901 census they have a son named Charles , his middle name from birth GRO reg.

I wonder why they didn't marry until 1905 - first child Elizabeth born c1898
