James and Edward Pilley 1861
« on: Sunday 22 January 06 13:51 GMT (UK) »

Can anyone see James and Edward Pilley living in Hereford ( Possibly High Town) in 1861? They would both be about 24 years old.

Hallo, Bob

No sign of them in Herefordshire in 1861, but there is:

RG9/1835, Ludlow, folio 94 page 28
High Street, Ludlow, Shropshire
Edward S (or J?) Pilley, 23, unm, Draper's assistant, Hereford St Peters   - living with Herbert Johnston, draper, the Johnston family, 3 apprentices and 2 servants

There are 3 James PILLEYs on the census - two were born in Yorkshire and one in Lincolnshire.  I had a look on the Wales census, but no luck there.

Do you have any more info - e.g. occupation?


Regards
Philip

Philip
Since posting this request I have found the brothers in 1881 living in High Town Hereford and working as Drapers. Edward was listed as Edward Joseph.
RG11 2593/83 Page 7
In 1851 their mother, Mary, lived in High Town Hereford working as a Draper. James was a Drapers assistant.
HO107/1978 Hereford Folio 45 Page 36
I had assumed (never a good thing to do) that the brothers had taken over the family business which I guess they did sometime before 1881.

The Edward you found looks spot on. Is it possible to have the full listing?

Many thanks

Thanks for the info. I found William living in Bridport Dorset. After the death of their mother the family just scattered.
