1841 / 1851 / 1861 ~ GLOUCESTER ~ look up please

[Lucy2]

Hi Jenn   

WOW  !     Census info - that's magnificent - thank you so very much.

"Harold" and "Harry" ... bit of hoot  ...  often wonder, given the rapidity with which some of these people "popped" out their babies, whether they were just too exhausted to come up with some more original names?   Still, it is often by these naming patterns, that we can place people in our families?

Good on you Jenn for picking up on "Widow Blizard" living next door (1901)  ....  Well done !     Thanks again.

Kind regards      LU     

PS    Nibley Ozelworth ... yes gorgeous!

Hi Cazay   

Thank you so much for another of your tremendous efforts - that's great information.   (Looks like Elizabeth Jane was doing rather well for herself )?

Just a wee query with  the "Mabel A. Perrett - aged 3 - in 1871" and,  the "Mabel Agnes Perrett - died aged 4 - Dec  1879 - Dursley - Vol 69 p135"  ?    Same person ?

Much appreciated Cazay - thanks again.

Regards     Lu

Hi Lu 

Sorry about that...........my typo.............had Mabel's death date written close to Elizabeth's marriage info   

Have now corrected the error

In 1881 might Elizabeth be the Elizabeth HUGHES, 33 (yes, I think she was fibbing about her age on the censuses - younger husband), born Wotton under Edge, Head of Household, Manageress of a Club in Bristol, Married but no sign of a husband.

And perhaps William could be William HUGHES, 30, a passenger on the 'SS City of Brussels' in Liverpool - marital status not recorded, birthplace given only as England.

Can't see Arthur (Arthur Henry HUGHES, birth, Sep qtr 1880, Dursley).

Hello again   

Would be grateful of another census look-up if someone is able to help please ?

 >   1871

Samuel RICHINGS - b. 1840 (Regn. Dursley)
wife - Elizabeth ....  and is there a child named "William"  ?

[This family features in "JAP's" magnificent summary - Reply # 19 of this thread] .

Thanks
Lu

No William I'm afraid
Mitre Inn, Sinwell & Bradley RG10/2591 folio 72 pg 4
Samuel Richings head mar 30 butcher & publican
Elizabeth wife 30
Louisa Ann dau 9 scholar
Emily Kate dau 4 scholar
Samuel son 1
Isaac Mortimer boarder umn 66 weaver b. Wilts, Kingston Longley
all born Wotton-under-Edge except where stated.
There's an enumerator's mark over Samuel's age, and it's been transcribed as 36 on Ancestry, but I think it should say 30 and therefore match what he gave in 1861 which was 20.

Does this mean there's been an update on my favourite soap opera? Off to the Australian board to check.

Hi Osprey 

Very many thanks.       (And sorry to disappoint ~ not much doing, over at the Aussie board ~ no impending drama)   

This William (Will) RICHINGS pops up in a newspaper obituary in Hokitika, New Zealand, 1897 - he's lived there for about four years.    Obit is for his Uncle, William FOWLER (b. Wotton-under-Edge,  Nov. 1832) - a respected member of the Hokitika community.    Young Will is described as "the son of FOWLER's sister, Mrs RICHINGS".

This 1871 Samuel RICHINGS (who appears to be the brother of my John (alias "Thomas") RICHINGS, married an Elizabeth FOWLER .   (I feel pretty sure Will is the child of this couple) .

At FreeBMD I see a "William RICHINGS" - b. Dec. 1864 - Regn. Dursley.   [Also births for Emily (Kate) - 1867 and Samuel - 1870  ... nothing for Louisa Ann.   Haven't found a "William"  death ].      Wondering now if the 7-8 year-old William is away a boarding school or such-like ?

(No William in 1881 either, with his now widowed Mother and sisters).   Mmm ... puzzling ?

Thanks again.
