Census Lookup - GILL. Completed Tks
« on: Friday 04 May 07 00:43 BST (UK) »

Hello

I have Alfred & Frances Gill in 1881 in Brighton, but could someone kindly see if they can be found in the earlier or later census?

In 1881 they were living at 2 St Georges Road, Brighton with 6 of their children:
Alfred GILL  61   East Dean, Sussex, England   Carryman & Coal Merchant 
Frances E. GILL   52   Clapham, Sussex, England   

Alfred Gill m Frances Elizabeth Pelling c 1852.  Frances' parents John & Jane Pelling  died in 1833 & 1838 and I believe Frances was a housemaid in Brighton in 1851, although I don't have a source for that information  Roll Eyes

Cheers, Jane

Thanks Pels  Kiss

"Dairyman + Coal Merchant, Employing 11 men and 2 boys, Farmer of 68 acres" Seems like a strange mix of occupations  Huh  And good to see Harry & Elizabeth there.  Harry came out to Australia in 1882, but I can't locate him in 1881

And now I'll have to fossick around to see whether Rose is related too Cheesy

I've had a look to see if I can find a possible match for Harry in 1881 and I'm afraid I can't see one either?

Also no obvious match for Frances or Alfred in 1851 - what a shame .. ..  Unless someone else can help?

Kind regards,

Pels  Smiley

Thanks Again Pels. 

Frances ought to be in Brighton.  She could also be listed as Young or Pelling Young as her father (my 4GGF) was the natural son of Hugh Pelling, although his mother Elizabeth French was married to James Young at the time  Roll Eyes

Harry should be in London - according to the Aust Dictionary of Biography he won a scholarship to the National Art Training School in South Kensington (aka Royal College of Art) which he held for 5 years.

The grandson William South has me puzzled, as I can't see that any of the Gill girls married a South.  Maybe it was a second marriage or one of the boys had been playing up?

Cheers, Jane

Looking at the 1861 record I wonder where Kate, Harry and Alice are?  They would be only 8, 6 & 2 yo, so too young to be out on their own.  Huh

Uncle Henry died in Apr 1861 so maybe Frances was nursing him and sent the kids to a relative, but then why keep the 4yo Elizabeth at home?

That could very well be the case Jane because the 1861 census was taken on the evening of the 7th. April. Here they are living as boarders:

1861 census:
RG9/613, folio 60, page 1

Sussex, Findon
Nepcote Lane

Martha Brown, h. widow, 71, Blacksmith, b. Sussex, Broadwater
Walter, son, unm. 29, Blacksmith, b. Sussex, Findon
Harriet, dau. unm. 45, b. Findon
William C. Brown, grandson, unm. 19, Blacksmith, b. Findon
Catherine Gill, boarder, 8, Scholar, b. Brighton
Harry Gill, boarder, 6, Scholar, b. Brighton
Alice Gill, boarder, 3, b. Brighton
Edmund Bachelor, serv. unm. 17, Blacksmith, b. Sussex, Arundel

Details as before Jane,  Smiley


Decinsley Naish, head, widow, 52, Fundholder, b. Spain, British subject
Thomas Naish, son, unm. 27, Fundholder, Sussex
Alfred Gill, serv. unm. 31, Butler, b. Sussex, East Dean
+ numerous servants and what appears to be the occupants of next door ..


James Anderson, h. mar. 50, Preacher of Lincoln's Inn, b. East Indies,
Barbara C. wife, 54, b. Sussex, Brighton
Fanny Pelling, serv. unm. 23, Servant, b. Sussex, Clapham

The following link will give you an idea with regard to Lincoln's Inn:

http://www.lincolnsinn.org.uk/

I will post a thread in the Common Room regarding the occupation - hopefully someone can help .. .. I will then modify this accordingly!
