Dublin / BOGG family - Royal Artillery - Dublin Census 1841
« on: Sunday 30 April 06 00:06 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to find an English family that were in Dublin between 1838 - 41?

Edmund Bogg b. 1806 Sheerness was in Dublin with the Royal Artillery.
He took with him his wife Ann b. 1816 Mevagissey and their children.
Edmund b. 1835 Woolwich
Thomas b. 1837 Woolwich

While they were there Edmund & Ann had a daughter Mary Ann born 1840 in Kilmainham Dublin. Are details of her baptism listed any where?

They may have had another child during this period that died?

Is the family still in Dublin when the 1841 census takes place? I know that by the end of the year they were in Ceylon (Sri Lanka) where another daughter was born.

Any assistance with this would be gratefully appreciated.
Many thanks

Sligo / Clarke Family - Sligo - 1841 census & 1842 Birth
« on: Saturday 29 April 06 23:47 BST (UK)  »
I am looking for an English family who were in Sligo between 1840 - 44?

Edward Clarke b. 1807 Herefordshire was in Sligo with the Royal Artillery.
He took with him his wife Jemima b. 1803 Hampshire and children
Edward b. 1831 Portsmouth
John b. 1836 Portsmouth
Jane b 1839 Woolwich

Do they appear on the 1841 census for Sligo?

While they were there Edward & Jemima had another son called Charles R Clarke born about 1842. Are details of his baptism listed any where?

I know they were back in Woolwich in 1844 when son Henry was born.

Any assistance with this would be gratefully appreciated.
Many thanks

Thank you Barbara

Hi Angela
That's great, I had a feeling that they wouldn't be found!

I didn't know about the daughter Ann but thought that there may have been an earlier child. The family moved to Plumstead Kent between 1847 & 1849 and Ann does not appear with the rest of her family on the 1851 census. I have just had a quick look on the FreeBMD and it looks like she died just after they moved, though her name is given as Ann Matilda Drew.

Yes I had noticed on later census returns that there were quite a lot of Drew's in Rowde and they are probably related but at the moment I do not know how they fit in. I am not 100% sure that Samuel was born in Rowde as on one census it says Trowbridge!

On the IGI the only Samuel Drew that I think it could possibly be was born 1821 Overton Wilts. I can not find this place listed any where. Have you heard of it and if so, is it near Rowde? If it is the correct one, then his parents were William & Elizabeth Drew.

Any more details on the Drew family in Rowde would be gratefully received, if that is not too much trouble and may be at some point I will be able to work out who fits in where. Also Jemima's maiden name was James, so if you come across anyone with that name in the village, that would be great too.

Many thanks again
Barbara

Please could someone see if they can find the following people on the 1841 & 51 Woolwich Census for me.

John Edward Joseph Newnham b. abt 1811 Rochester
Frances Mezaler Newnham b. abt 1811 Chelmsford Essex

They were married in 1833 in Chatham
As far as I know they had 2 children (John & Robert) before moving to Woolwich where their daughter Frances was born in May 1841.

I have found most of this family (& subsequent children) on later census returns, with the exception of son John, who is proving to be very elusive! He married Sarah Ann Sweeney (1858 Woolwich) and they had two children John (1861) & Catherine (1862). He then died sometime between 1862 & 1868 (when Sarah remarried). But they don't appear to be on the 1861 census, like the rest of the family!!!

Thanking you in advance

London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Re: 1841 & 51 Kensington Census - BOSHER
« on: Sunday 11 September 05 17:30 BST (UK)  »
Sorry.

I was just checking in case Mary Bosher's future husband was living there. On the 1861 census her future second husband was living and working (as a Milkman) at the same address. Thought she may have had a thing about Milkmen!!!

They seemed to like to change the description of their occupation in each census! But when it comes down to it, they had cows, milked them and sold the milk.

Thanks again Rick
Barbara
