you still there ?

And name of her sister (grandma!) born 1876 might help too..

Blimey you do work fast! Right- Mum and Dad were:- William Adams Born1825 in Uffingham Berks. Died in Sussex in 1905.  Ellen Eliza Tomlin or Tomlinson Born 1841 in Leeds Yorkshire Died Seaford Sussex 1908
From what I have gathered William  worked his way across the country possibly labouring on the railway but his children were born all over the place. Elleanor was born in Notting Hill London. They moved to Seaford some time between 1871 and 1881 and settled there for the rest of their lives. At the age of 76 , William was still working, doing domestic gardening.
I did a lot of this research ages ago and must admit I`d forgotten a lot. I concentrated on the male line and then got side tracked, as you do.
I haven`t done much recently as I was caring for my husband who died in February. So I thought it ime to put all the info I have into some sort of order.

Assuming that she's Eleanor Jane as registered Kensington ?

Thought I had her using Jane as her name, a pupil in Hants - but sadly theres also a Jane registered in Kensington, using a PoB of Notting Hill in the 1891.

I'll have a look at 1901 later - hopefully Liz and/or others will have a try too.

Dont forget to pursue that earlier lead to enquire about the Sisters of Providence via the RC Chuch......

I know you have 1881 census, but I am posting it as it does help to get a 'feel' of the family (well it helps me anyway)

RG11 1040 100 10
High Street Seaford
William 56 Labourer at harbour works bn Berks Uffingham
Ellen Eliza 40 bn Leeds Yorkshire
Rosina 10 bn Notting Hill
Eleanor 8 bn Not.Hill
Alice Louisa 6 bn Nott. Hill
Kate Evelyn 4 bn Somerset
William James 1 bn Somerset.

You said they moved to Seaford between 1871 and 1881. Looking at childrens birthplaces it looks like it was 1880/81 as youngest child age 1 bn Somerset.

Thanks, Liz, that`s super.
You may be interested to know that Kate my Grandmother, married into the Green family of Seaford. I have traced them back to 1550 and I still have a cousin living in Seaford. None of us fell very far from the tree.
