1841 and 1851 look ups please

[whitej]

Charlotte Bach, a widow, married John William Barker in Feb 1840, in London - Hanover Sq. Charlotte born London circa 1809.

John described as gentleman on marriage certificate.

Looking for them in 1841 and 51 censuses please. Thanks.

A couple of questions:

Do you have them in later censuses?

Would they have children with them in either census, and if so can you give us their names and years of birth?

Thanks.

Hi

No I haven't looked in later censuses - thought I'd only ask for help with 41 and 51

[whitej]

sorry - forgot about second question - not aware of any children living with them.

Charlotte had a son Robert born London 1832 - but not sure where he was.

Is he the Robert Bach b Oct 1832 London who was resident in Edinburgh when he got his merchant seaman’s ticket aged 16, issued at Leith on 13 December 1848?

[whitej]

yes he is the son ... I am not really interested in him at this stage. I think he must have left home and joined merchant navy etc. I am focusing only Charlotte and John in 41 and 51.

It's actually easier tracing backwards from last known dates i.e. deaths, where they were with occupation to help.

Why do you assume Robert had left home - isn’t it relevant to those trying to help you find his mother and stepfather to know that Robert was based in Edinburgh in his mid-teens?  Do you have reason to believe that Charlotte and John stayed in London?

I have a sense of deja vu about this family - have you had a previous thread about them?
