1851 census of Wimborne Minster, Dorset

HO107; Piece: 1854; Folio: 349; Page: 11 - 'Anchor & Hope' (assume its a Public House?)
 
James Dibben 32 Head of Household born Wimborne Minster: a Victualler
Harriett Dibben 32 Wife born Hants, Tichfield
Jane Dibben 4 Niece born Wimborne Minster
Harry Bowden 14 Nephew born Wimborne Minster: an Ostler

Henry Knight 21 Lodger
William Anstey 21 Lodger


attempting to find Harry's folks:-


1841 census of Wimborne Minster

HO107; Piece 289; Book: 6; Civil Parish: Wimborne Minster; County: Dorset; Enumeration District: 3; Folio: 12; Page: 18

Eastbrook (street)
 
Ann Dibbin 50 Laundress
Eliza Bowden 25
John Dibbin 20 Coachsmith
Henry Bowden 4
William Bowden 2
Richard Bowden 9 Mo


all state 'born in County' - as you may know, no relationships are shown in the 1841 census and adult ages were rounded down to the lower 5 year multiple.

1871 census of Melcombe Regis, Weymouth District

RG10; Piece: 2001; Folio: 60; Page: 30 - 14, Petticoat Lane
 
Sophia Guy 61 Head of Household (Widow) born Shapwick: Wesleyan Chapel Keeper
Bertrand H Bowden 14 Grandson born Wimborne: Errand Boy
Ursula Agnes Bowden 12 Granddaughter born Cerne Abbas
Bertha Bowden 7 ditto born Charminster


I cant see her parents Harry/Henry and Ursula in 1871 / 81

1881 - Ursula jnr is with an Aunt (and Grandmama Sophia, who has reverted to Croom) in Hornsey, N. London. Sister Bertha is not far away - in Service. But cant see Bertrand - thought he married in Kent in 1889, but its a man born 1867, Forest Hill
