Title: 1861 Census Lookup Hartley Witney
Post by: fishweb on Tuesday 03 May 05 17:34 BST (UK)
Can anyone help me to find my elusive family in 1861

William Chandler born c1830     ?

Ann Chandler age 28 born c1831-1833 Cirencester Glos

Walter G Chandler age 9 born Middlesex

Henry/Harry Chandler age 1 born Wootton Bassett Wilts

I know they are in Hartley Witney in 1862 as their next son was born July 1862 Winchfield  Ernest Charles.

Any help would be appreciated.

Many Thanks

Cathy

William is shown as married but where's his wife I wonder?  Perhaps she's gone to stay with relatives after having baby?

Hello Shelley,
Thank you so much for your reply and findings.
Up to know I have this family only on the 1871 census in St Luke's Chelsea and by this time William had died and Ann had remarried in 1869 a Jesse Goldsmith in Swindon.
This may help to find Walter's birth as in 1871 it was given as Middlesex and when I recently sent for the certificate it came back as the wrong parents.
I wonder where Ann and her son Henry can be?
Once again many thanks for your help.

Cathy

PS Is there an address for William?

Difficult to read address actually - looks like "Baiken" or "Barkin" - no house number or Street/Road etc.

Re Henry/Harry - are you sure he was born before 1861 census was taken (7 April)?  Could it be a possibility that Ann was in hospital giving birth?

Hi Shelley,
Many thanks for replying. Henry was born 26th June 1860 in Wootton Bassett (from his birth certificate)His mother's former name was Tuff so maybe she was relatives on the night of the census?

Thanks for your help
