Catarrh.

Thanks so much, that's definitely it. I can see it clearly now that you've pointed it out.

Still Kenton Street in 1886/1888 I think number 24 per school admission for Robert Keen - writing very faint but top of page mother Eliza.

Is it possible to find Kenton Street in 1891 census and see if the family are still there?

Can't find Ann yet otherwise 

Thanks for the clue. Just checked both 24 and 42 Kenton Street in 1891, and there's no sign of any Keens. The street is split over several enumeration districts, so I'll keep searching.

Age looks like 15 on original:
from Ancestry
1891
Ann Keen
Age:   45   Servant
Birth Place:   St Giles in the Fields, London,
Residence Place:   Putney, Putney, London, England
George Tickner   56
...........
Ann Keen   45
Mary Keen   63  St Clements Danes
Class: RG12; Piece: 453; Folio: 112; Page: 10

Thanks. Doesn't seem like a perfect fit, but definitely a possible.

In 1901 she is just shown as b London (married name Stearman)

Married name is actually Stemman but it's often transcribed incorrectly. In 1911 she is shown as b London Bloomsbury.

Evening all,

I'm having trouble tracking down my 2x great grandmother Ann Keen in the 1891 census.

Ann was born in Bloomsbury in 1874 to Stephen and Eliza.
In 1881 she's living with her widowed mother at 42 Kenton Street.
She marries in 1895, and gives her address as 324 Gray's Inn Road, Camden.

I've tried name variations eg Anne/Annie and some alternate spellings of Keen, but haven't had any luck as yet.

What am I missing?

Cheers!

Thanks both of you for the replies:

Hi,

I'd start with emailing Westminster Archives to ask if they hold any Inquest files giving them details (name person, date of Inquest etc.).

A newspaper search might yield a report of the proceedings.

Good Luck!

I shall send an email their way today, hopefully they can point me in the right direction. So far newspaper searches are coming up empty but I will continue on.

Not looking good for South Westminster...

Paddington or Marylebone look more hopeful though. Can you pinpoint a bit more where your chap met his end?

Charles was 58 when he died, and was living in Battersea. Railway records state that he was employed by the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway at the time, and that the accident may have happened close to Battersea as well. However he was taken to St George's Hospital, Hanover Square which is where the death is registered.

Hope this helps.

Sam
