Looking for parents of redfearn in barking

[LizzieL]

Looks like Jemima in 1841 living in Barking age 20 in same household as Christiana Brace age 50. No other obvious family members. Christiana is possibly her mother. May be widowed or her husband could be away from home on census night.

Piece: 323 Book: 1 Folio: 40 Page: 27

baptism at St Marg Barking
Jemima Mary 18 jan 1843 d/o Thomas Samuel and Jemima Stevens occ plumber
Emma Rebecca 28 April 1844  d/o     "                            ""     occ painter
Thomas William 20 Aug 1846 s/o Thomas and Jemima Stevens occ glazier

GRO has Thomas jnrs birth as in Samford rather than Romford but date vol and page are same as Freebmd Q3 1846 vol 12 page 212. mmn Brace

Looks like we've got George Redfearn's wife's parents but not much on George himself.

George Alfred John Redfearn mmn Dring   
 Q1 1864   St Luke Chelsea  Volume 01A  Page 199

looks the most likely

Q2 1861 Westminster district 1a 531
Alfred Thomas Redfearn and Eliza Ann Dring on same page
so looks like census that Groom found is the right family

Oh dear. There's an Alfred Thomas Redfearn sentenced to 4 years imprisonment in 1857 for larceny after previous convictions

added
seems like same man:  age 21 when convicted,  occ tailor, matches age and occ on 1871 census. Must have married as soon as he got out of Dartmoor

Thames watermen and lightermen records
George Alfred John Redfearn was bound  to Thomas P Constable on 13 Dec 1881 and free on 11 Oct 1887.
