This is my first posting to your list and was wondering if some kind sole could look up 1841/1851 Census for the VANSCHAGEN family. I have only just come across this family in my tree and have them in 1861 as GEORGE FRANCIS ISAAC PAUL VANSCHAGEN born 1818 St Pancras, London - married to Martha BATES nee (Fensom) born abt 1809 - Luton Children Charles born 1849 - Luton In 1871 Charles had married Sarah (born Luton) and had a son Henry born 1869 Luton. As this is an unusual name any information would be greatly appreciated. Regards Patricia
In 1851 there's a George VANSCHAGER b 1818 St Pancras Middlesex , living in Adelaide Terrace, Luton Beds, with wife Martha age 42, daughter Sarah age 3 & son Charles age 1. George is a Blacksmith.
regards John

Hi Suzanne We must have a connection somewhere. I am researching all Vanschagen's and have quite a few in my tree. I start with George as you can see from previous e-mails. Charles Edward his son had nine children all born Luton one of his daughters Mary Ann married a Robert Cox in 1896 and then left him for George Williams and had a daughter Agnes Gertrude Cox who is my family line. Would you like to share your parents and grandparents names and dates and see if we connect. Would love to here from you.

Thank you Cathy Don't know about the Charles Marsham but had the two marriages. I think the Charlotte who died in 1841 is the wife of Issaic Paul. Will search the Ware District. Regards Patricia
It is an unusual name but it seems to be spelt a number of ways!
Three more are I can see - from Holborn & Luton are:
VANSCHAGN VANKAGEN VANKEGAN
There is a reference to a marriage of John VAN SCHAGENs marriage in 1753 in the Norfolk Archives and a reference to his business partner 'John CROUCH of Amsterdam' too [please see the A2A catalogue on-line]
I have tried a number of spellings of that name but cant seem to find any of that family who fought in the First WW which indicates how rare the name is
