Mary GUNTER
« on: Friday 06 November 09 01:32 UTC (UK) »

Hi, I have been at the local library today looking at census records.

I have Henry and Mary (Mother) GUNTER, with their daughter Mary in 1881, age 20

Then in 1891, Henry and Mary have a lodger by the name of Frederick Oliver.

I havn't been able to find a marriage for Mary (daughter) between 1881 - 1891. Or maybe she died?

Can anyone please shed some light.

Mary (Mother) died 1897, and Henry died 1910, but in the 1901 census shows him in the Reading Union Workhouse as an Inmate age 75.

Would really love to know what happened to her, and why Henry was in the workhouse (sounds terrible)

Cheers Gail.

I couldn't sopt either a marriage or a death but

Just a possibility of a mis-enumeration

George Ashdown         M H  38 Plush? Manufacturer Suffolk Hadleigh
Frederick    do        M?? Son 13   Scholar             Berks Newbury
William       do               Son  11    do                      do       do
Mary Ashdown        Cousin S 30 Draper Asst    Surrey Brixton

Hi, Mothers maiden name was ALLOWAY, she and Henry married in 1850.

There is an older son called John, he came to NZ (time ?) but married in 1874. He is my Great Great Grandfather, and I know a wee bit about him. But I would really love to know about his sister.

Has Mary as a dressmaker in the 1881 census.

Maybe she's not on census because she decided to emigrate too?

I thought of that too, but thus far cant find any record of her coming to NZ, or a marriage or death in NZ.

Information for this family seems to come to me in fits and starts lol. But any info is gr8 info.  Smiley

Have you seen the one who is  a lodger in Newcastle in 1891

she gives her age as 26 so she's fibbing a bit (or someone is guessing)  but the place of birth as Brixton is right as is the occupation of dressmaker

Hi DebbieG

No I didn't see that, I will be off to the library first thing monday!

Is Newcastle near the other areas they have been in? Please excuse my lack of knowledge in England geography, one thing I want to get is a really detailed map.

Thanks.

No Gails

I am afraid that Newcastle is about 200 miles from London  but as she gives her birthplace as Brixton Hill, London she is a long way from home whoever she is.

I Cannot help you regarding Mary, but I can help if you want it, going back

Your Henry Gunter was bapt St. Stephens Baughurst 29 Oct 1829 Parents David c1794 & Jane

On Census 1851 & 61 David gives his birth location as Aldermaston, which means he links to my Gunter ancestors, unfortunately I cannot find a baptism for him to link him and his descendants to a particular Branch. I realise I can add him to my database, as I am pretty sure (95%) the Mary Alloway he married is the daughter of Jacob Alloway & Hannah West and I have that line of Alloway (formerly known as Scot) back to the early 1700's.

Regarding 1901 in those days the workhouse was also the infirmary, and given his age, he may well have been there for health reasons especially if Mary was working away from the area. The workhouse evolved to the Battle Hospital (Where I was born) and now sadly a housing estate.
