Hi Graham

welcome to Rootschat !

Dont know if you have this information but will send it anyway :

1861 Census Class RG29  Piece 2205  Folio 38

13 Craven Street, Spon End, St Johns Parish, Coventry

Henry Case Head 61 Watch Maker, Born Liverpool British Subject
Mary Case wife 60 born Warrington
Issac Case Son 14 Apprentice Watchmaker born Coventry
Thomas Case Son 11, Scholar, born Coventry
Mary Squires daughter, Married, Silk Winder, born Liverpool British Subject

Address Sovereign Place, Court 10 House
Civil Parish St Michael, Coventry

Mary Case Head age 70 Widow
Thomas Case son age 25, watchmaker
Issac Case son age 22 Watchmaker

You then have the two sons living with their wives, Mary Case is no longer with them

1881 Census
Class RG11  Piece 3068  Folio 108
Address 3 Court, 3 House, Sherbourne Street, St Michael, Coventry

Issac Case 32 Married Watchmaker

Mary J Case age 9

1881 Census
Class RG11 Piece 3068 Folio 107
brother Thomas lives next door at 18 Sherboure St

Thomas C Case 34 Married, Watchmaker
Charlotte Case 38 Wife, Silk Winder
Benjamin Case age 3
Henry Case age 8
Thomas C Case age 6

There is also a Henry Case born 1851 Coventry found married living in Foleshill do you want this information, could this be another brother ?


1891 Census

Still next door is brother Thomas, wife and two sons not with him, census says he is married so I pressume she is visiting some place else, I will take a look for you if you want to know.


1891 No 18 Sherbourne Street

Thomas Case Married age 44 Watchfinisher
Thomas Case Son age 16 Cycle Machinist Fitter
Benjamin Case Son age 13

A quick look at 1901 census didn't find them, but sure they are there do you want me to look for you ?

Iria
Have found these : Apprentice Enrolments

Samuel Harold
Fathers Name:John Harold
Fathers Occupation: Watch Jeweller
Master: Edward Parnal
Masters Trade: Watch Case Springer & polisher
Indenture: 27/04/1878
Enrolment: 22/10/1878
Volume/Ref: 7/9115


Thomas Bold Harold
Fathers Name:John Harold
Fathers Occupation: Watch Jeweller
Master: Josiah Price Richardson
Masters Trade: Watch Finisher
Indenture: 24/02/1880
Enrolment: 26/02/1880
Volume/Ref: 7/9478
Partners: Josiah Price Richardson & Alfred Rodhouse

This would tie in with 1881 census were Samuel & Thomas are listed as Apprentice

These are the only 2 'Harold' on apprentice records I have
There are 7 with the name Villers, if you can give some names I can check them.

Do you want burial records also?

Hi Sharon

You are a Star!! Samuel and Thomas are part of My Harold Family..Would samuel and Thomas have worked in a factory or at home>Huh

Looking at Samuel i see he worked for a Edward Parnel ... Samuel went on to marry a Ann Jane Parnell not to sure if thay are Related??

The Villiers Family i have is a William Villiers.. a Watch Pollisher Living in Well Street Coventry in 1881 ..

I have some deaths on my Harold Family ...in Coventry.. But Still one Missing which is John Harold died 1901 Coventry ..Most Likely to be Buried at London Road Cem ..

Many thanks again for all your help
