Suffolk Lookup Requests / ALDRICH of PALGRAVE (SFK) & ROYDON (NFK)

Hmmm... quite right, George could be the son of Mary, so not conclusive that he's William's brother.
It looks as though John & Phoebe died in the mid 1840s and so won't appear in any later censuses  :-\

All of this is pure gold Ladyhawk.  But I take your point, we've strayed away from the Aldriches and I do still have a couple of questions about them.  So yes, by all means PM me on anything further relating to the Fournisses (an interesting sounding family - all very artistic or at least artisanistic).

Re. the Aldriches....  I would like to clearly establish Wlliam Aldrich's parentage.  Butcher John was mentioned in the marriage entry.  Barbara suggested that son William Henry (aged 7) could have been staying with a butcher uncle Geoge Aldrich (aged 23) in Diss in 1851 (Ref HO107/1821 Folio 312 Page 18).  If it's not asking too much, the 1841 census details for William (18?), brother George (13) and father John living on the Suffolk/Norfolk border would clinch confirmation of William's parentage.

Many thanks Coops

Wow... that's incredible Ladyhawk.  Thanks so much.  I hadn't expected to learn anything about the early lives of the Fournisses (being pre-1837).  Having checked on Free BMD, Fourniss appears to be a Yorkshire name and relatively few lived in London - which is helpful.  Any marriage details would be useful thanks.

And thanks for solving the mystery of young Rosetta Aldrich.  It explains why she sadly doesn't appear on the 1861 census entry where 17-year old William Henry makes his first appearance.  As Barbara suggests, he must have been staying with relatives in 1851; the butchering connection could be relevant.

My great x3 grandmother, Sarah Mary Ann, settled on going by the name Mary Ann Sarah in later life, hence the confusion.

It just goes to show that, with some work (on your part), the ill-fitting ALOUCH entry can be made to fit like a glove!  Have you thought about doing this for a living?

I assumed that genealogists investigating different UK locations might have access to different resources Carol.  Apologies if that's caused confusion.  I'll ask for the other thread to be closed.

And Barbara, thank you for 1851 info on William.

Thanks for taking so much trouble with this one Ladyhawk. 
And well done for tracking the ALOUCH entry btw - great sleuthing!
I'm inclined to think the entry is them and was trying to establish if there were two daughters I knew nothing about.

And baptisms too... wow.  OK so Mary Ann S could in fact be Sarah Mary Ann.  Great work.
I'll check for more details about Rosetta.

Thanks so much for this.

The 1861 entry is definately the family I'm searching for ten years earlier Ladyhawk.
The 1851 entry is curious though and I'm not sure about it either.  Some facts are correct (William's occupation), some not (his age) and some close (birthplace is in close proximity to that listed).  The two young girls are a complete mystery - are they listed as daughters?

Is anyone able to provide a full transcript of the 1851 Census entry for the Aldrich family in Lambeth?

William (28) born Palgrave, Suffolk
Mary Ann (28/29) born London
William H (7) born Lambeth
Mary Ann S (6) born Lambeth

NB. Aldrich often listed appears as Aldrick or Aldridge (Allsorts!)

Thank you
Coops
