Hi David, hope your Charleton quest has gone well. I said I'd start a new topic for Boags as people won't be looking for Boags under Charleton. This may help others, too.
Your Frederick's Dad & Mum were
William Boag bapt 28 Jan 1822 Newcastle
Isabella Chicken bapt 1 Mar 1818 All Saints Newcastle
they married on 23 Aug 1836 at St John's
& had 8 known children,
Hannah 1836 - 91
Ambrose 1844 - 71
Mary Ann 1846 - 68
Thomas 1851 - 61
John 1853 - 94
Elizabeth 1855 - 92
Frederick 1857 - 1902
Frances 1860 - 64
On the 1841 Census, William is a Coffee Roaster
from then on, on the 1851 1861 1871 William is a Bill Poster. Interesting that it was a full time occupation which supported a family and Ambrose and John followed their Dad and became Bill Posters too.
That led me on to other jobs - I looked on the 1851 Census for Laidlaw Court, Manors where William & Isabella lived - there were 32 people doing such things as Cattle Dealer, Bread Baker, Straw Bonnet Maker, Brass Founder, Tailor, Carpenter, Potter, Char Woman & Errand Boy. (I don't know how many rooms the 32 people lived in.)
In 1861 The family lives at 3, Manors. 35 people this time - Dressmaker, Grocer, Seamstress, Joiner, Bricklayer, Coach Smith, Chain Maker, Tripe Dealer, Charwoman, Draper.
Interesting that all these people doing such different jobs lived together is what was probably very crowded accommodation.
Have you access to the Census returns?
I'll put William and Isabella's parents on next time
