1841 & 1851 Census - Sawston (CHALLIS)
« on: Monday 31 March 08 22:52 UTC (UK) »

Would SKS have a look in the above for a Catherine Challis please ?

I've found a reference to her in the London Gazette dated 1848 and 1849, where she assigns 'all her personal estate and effects...Allen Watson..'

She is described as 'Grocer and Draper' in the Debtors and Creditors notice dated 30th Dec 1848.

Is she described as a Widow in the 1851 census but married in the 1841 ?

Thanks Ricky

Much appreciated.

Wonder whether it was her decision to assign over all her assets ?
Guess my next step is to find out when Thomas died and how..

Cheers

Extra thanks Ricky Smiley
Shame to be a widow at 47 and bankrupt at 52.
Bet she wondered what life would through at her next ?
