Hi Cathay,

No probs, I'm enjoying myself  Grin

Never thought of glass bead maker making glass eyes, though it does make sense, I think it would take some craftmenship to match colours etc.

Well not having much luck with old Arthur, in fact he is nearly as bad as some of mine  Wink.

What I did  find on the Mormon web site on the IGI, was some birth details, not sure if it is your lot, there is definitely something odd about Arthur's parents and can't figure it out yet.

Here goes:

Arthur Robey: b: 04/07/1858, christened 13/12/1865 at St Dunstan, Stepney, London
Father: Matthew Robey, Mother Elizabeth.  I wonder why such a long time before christening???

I've not been able to find a marriage entry or any more children to this couple....but I did find these details following your lead on Matthew Lough.

Matthew Bell Lough marr' Elizabeth Harriet Elliot on the 18/12/1843 at St Dunstan, Stepney.

Children:
Ann Bell Lough b: 24/01/1830...and...Betsey Thomas Lough 24/01/1830 St Mary's Lambeth, twins again...

Leonora Laura Lough, b: 12/11/1838 ch: 28/12/1838 St Matthew, Bethnal Green.

Isabel Lough b: 24/07/1847, ch: 22/08/1847 St Dunstan Stepney.

So you see they are an elusive lot and lots of research to find what really matches. I'll have another look tomorrow, in the meantime do please ask if you want me to look anything up for you, I think I would be going mad if I didn't have ancestry, I use it nearly every day to do double checks.

Speak soon Jane.

Good Morning Cathay,

I think I've cracked it, I've found a link between Matthew Lough and Arthur Roby, see what you think?

1851 Census, 40 Durham St, Bethnal Green, Tower Hamlets

Matthew B Lough        Head, Married, age: 33, occ Clerk in Newspaper Office, b: Gillingham Kent.
Elizabeth H Lough       Wife, age: 28, b: Barns Sussex
Isabel                         Dau, age: 3 b: Stepney
Elizabeth                    Dau age: 1 b: Bethnal Green
Cowen Shotter           Cousin age 18, occ Clerk, b: Sittingbourn Kent

1851 Census Tower Hamlets


Elizabeth Robey       Head , Married, age: 34 (?) occ: Milliner, b: Yarmouth Norfolk
Elizabeth Robey       Dau, age:1, b: Limehouse Middlesex
Sarah Robey            Sister-in-Law age: 43.

with me so far  Smiley

1861 Census, Fairfield Rd, Bow, Tower Hamlets, Ref: RG 9/303.

Matthew Lough     Head, Widow, age: 43, occ: Commercial Clerk, b: Greenhith Kent.
Ellen Lough           Dau, age:16 b:Stepney
Isabel Lough         Dau, age:13 b: Stepney
Elizabeth Lough    Dau, age:11 b: Bethnal Green
Fredrick Lough       Son, age:6  b: Hornsey
Un-Named              Natural Son, age:2 b: Bow
Elizabeth E Robey   Visitor, age:11, b: Poplar.

Stick with it.... Wink

1871 Census Tower Hamlets Ref: RG 10/562

Elizabeth Robey     Head, Unmarried, age:37, occ Berlin Wool Worker, b: Yarmouth Norfolk
Elizabeth Robey     Dau, Unmarried, age 20, occ Berlin Wool Worker, b: Mile End Middlesex.
Arthur Robey          Son, age:12 b: Bow

I was able to find Matthews children in 1871, but no sign of Matthew.

Now my best guess!!!! is that Matthew and Elizabeth Robey had a little fling, and produced our Arthur?Huh
And that in 1861 Arthur and his sister Elizabeth were visiting Matthew and his family, probably OK since his wife is dead  Roll Eyes
Well thats my theory, though I have been known to jump the gun.... Grin

Jane.

Hi Cathy,

1881 census London Poplar

No. 8 Wade street
Joseph Jeffries age 28, Coal trimmer, B. Lancashire Manchester
Hannah wife     age 29, B. Middlesex London.
Joseph N, age 3, B. Middlesex Bromley.

I think this is the right Joseph cause the wedding on free bmd gives
1903 March Q - Poplar
Eleanor Margeret Higgins
Joseph Newell Jeffries

Birth on free bmd for Joseph Newell Jeffries Dec Q. Poplar.

Freebmd has a possible birth of Eleanor in 1879 Dec Q. Poplar.

I'll have a look for her now.

Regards,

Jim

James Higgins, age 48, Cook, B. Southampton Hampshire
James,        Age 19,  General laborour  B.London Polar

William seems to have aged a bit as in 1891 census he was 6. Freebmd has a birth that would fit in 1895 Poplar, William Henry Higgins.

No sign of the rest of the family.

Hi Cathy,

Re Ethel Theresa, we need somone with access to the 1911 census because she is in West Ham in 1911 with Eleanor her mum. So it would be nice to see if she had brothers or sisters, or perhaps you know that already.

24 Pulford street

John Willey age 44, Painter, B. Highlaver Essex
Jane wife   age 41, Domestic, B. Epping Essex
John Lowen son age 15, Telegraph messenger, B. Lambeth Surrey
Charles A  son age 4, B. Highlaver Essex


Free Bmd has a marriage of John Willey to Jane Lowen - Sy Georges Hanover Sq June Q. 1874.

Regards,

Jim

Hi Cathay,

Well my couple of hours turned into 12hours, not enough weetabix Cathay  Grin a weekend in hospital, I do not recommend kidney stone's people Cry. pain you would not believe, but would recommend the morphine, looooooovly stuff.

I found the census reports you found jaytoot, and was taken into hospital before I could post them...honest  Grin so our research seems to agree.

I found one more I'm not sure of though, 1901 John Willey aged 65, married, General Laborer??.  He was in the union Workhouse in Hanover Square. Now I'm not positive about this one as his wife was not in the Workhouse, I looked at every individual, and I could not find her anywhere else, so some more research is needed on that one.

It looked to me Cathay as though young Charles was an only child, unless......his father was married before?Huh.  He did marry late.

I also found a birth on the IGI for a John Willey father Charles, and I can't find it anywhere on my desk, I'll keep looking and get back to you.

Aha, found the 41 census I wasn't sure of, just to mix the pot a bit.

1841 High Lever Essex  Ref: HO 107/336/7

Charles Wiley age 30, occ Wheelwright
Sarah Wiley     age 30,
Eliza Wiley        age 10
Elizabeth Wiley age 5
John Wiley        age 3
William Wiley    age 1

Need to follow Charles up to make sure.

1891 St George Hanover Square, Belgrave, 50 "Monument" Street (I think)

John Willey    Head, Age 54, occ House Painter, b: Essex "High Lane"
Jane Willey    Wife, age 51, b: Epping
Charles A Willey Son, age 14, occ Office Boy Port. b: Essex "High Lane"
Plus 3 others one a Nephew aged 19, the other 2 were females aged 23 and 44yrs and said to be visitors, I need to study these names a little longer Cathay as the handwriting is really bad, I'll let you know as soon as I've got it.
