Silver Hall, Isleworth, Middlesex

[Jaynekb]

On the 1851 census my G,G,G,G - Grandmother Lucy Bird is residing at 154 Silver Hall, Isleworth. Profession/occupation Fund holder and house proprietor.
Does anyone know what was Silver Hall and what she may have been a fund holder of? There are other people on the page who have professional jobs and are also fund holders.  Jaynekb.

Silver Hall No. 2 (North of North Street) (Demolished 1950)

North Street . . . . .

The 154 is the Number of Householder schedule not the house number

I was wondering if she was a fund holder of the brewery.

[rosie99]

What was her husbands occupation, it could come from there

The term "fund holder" suggests that the person has an income from stocks or government bonds. This is often a person who has a life interest in a deceased estate.

The answer in this case is probably in the Will of her late husband.

[Jaynekb]

She had two late husbands. First was a livery stable keeper and the second was an Inn Keeper.

Hello Jayne, I too have Lucy Bird as a g g g g grandparent. On the 1841 census her son Charles Pettit the Silversmith is my ancestor through his son John.
I have just found the 1841 entry under Lucy Bard !
Where did you find the information on James Pettit ,Lucy's first husband ?
I only have the marriage entry for 1804 and can't identify him for sure anywhere else.
I found Lucy Pettit on the Westminster Rate rolls for 7 Thanet Place Temple bar up to 1839, when she presumably left to marry Edward and left Charles in the property.
I have been following Anne Foley,who was a wedding witness but can't work out if she is a sister or aunt ?
Interesting about the Fundholder and Edwards profession.
Would be good to hear from you
