Just had a couple more questions if anyone's free... I noticed a couple of addresses in the census of 1871 and 1881 for James Spence (father of Hubert), they were Ladbroke Terrace London Kensington (1881 census) and Abercromby #77, (1871 census), are such places still around? If so, what type area is it or was it back then? I've never been to the UK so these areas are unfamiliar to me. (I live in TX)....Also, was it common for servants to stick around at a household? I noticed a Mary Harmon listed in the 1871-1891 census still faithfully serving, what would have happened to her when the old guy (James kicked) would she have received anything to retire on, or be in a will? ( just curious) Any way to find out what happened to her (since she probably raised my ancestors),I hope she was well treated and was allowed to retire.
