I have a clue :)

[Finley 1]

I will link this if needed to other topics on this family.   But thought maybe a clean page would help!

I have found a clue.... ooooo.....
to my vagabond family that is driving me up the wall.

So can anyone help with who was living at an address between a certain period of time!

My family were there in 1864 - then moved away - until 1877 ...
The address is 37 Metcalfe Street Leicester.
After 13 years it seems funny that they can still go back to that address unless --- maybe there is family living there. 
So I am hoping (apart from for a miracle ) that this may be a relation of my lot in some way shape or form.
So I need to know who was there in 1861 census and 1871 census if poss.  or could someone just advise me how to find this out....

thank you

1861 census the family living there is called Felstead. Alfred & wife Sarah, children James & Alfred, daughter in law Catherine.
( RG 9 / 2287 / 84 / 4 )

A Felstead family were at the same address in 1851. (HO 107 / 2088 / 548 / 6 )

[JenB]

Sarah Felstead and son James are at this address in 1871.
( RG 10 / 3273 / 83 / 8 )

Thank you - that is really helpful...

Need to get my Cap - pipe and - magnifying glass out for the connection though.

Maybe they rented out rooms....

or where just friends.

OKAY  yep yep yep 

This ere jig saw is slowly fitting together.

Thank you Jen B...

and everyone on here who has helped and does help...


I went through the census of 1861 that you gave me..................... thinking who the devil are the Felsteads......
flipped back a page ...  and found -----MY family.  So a few doors away from the Felsteads lives the sister of My family that are returning to this address..  So yep yep yep another additional piece of great information. To help me -

It may mean that if I search good and hard into the Felsteads they have a link - or it may just mean they were good friends of my lot.  But it is all proving that John Raven Patrick and Harriet Cobley (nee Patrick) are brother and sister... yeaaaaaa..     

Its a long and complicated tale, this one so I wont go into it AGAIN - but thanks so much for help
