Gloucestershire / Re: Oliver Howard 1891 Census
« on: Thursday 07 April 11 14:44 BST (UK)  »
There you go thats that solved.  Sarah Jane Howard was Joseph and Elizabeths Daughter, (it threw me because the birth was in an area the family didn't come from, but that could of been because she was unmarried), but instead of Oliver being put down as their Grandson he was put down as their Son.... phew thank you again

Gloucestershire / Oliver Howard 1891 Census
« on: Thursday 07 April 11 13:06 BST (UK)  »
Hi Guys

I am trying to find Oliver Howard born 1876 in St George, Bristol, Gloucestershire.  I have him in the 1881 census living with Joseph Howard born 1821 in Bitton and Elizabeth Howard born 1823 in Bristol, it says that these are his parents!  They seem very old to me to have him as a Son... there is 16 years between him and their other youngest child!!! But thats one for another day.  By 1891 both Joseph and Elizabeth are dead, I have checked all the other children and he is not living with any of them in 1891... can anyone find him for me?

Thank you all in advance    8)

Thank you both, by tents do you mean actual tents, like my idea of holiday hell, the canvas types?

Devon / Address Clarification
« on: Wednesday 09 March 11 13:01 GMT (UK)  »
Hi All

In the 1881 census, my ancestors address is 6 Matthews Tent, Temperance Street, Torquay.  On the same page there is 3, 4 and 5 Matthews Tents as well.
This address is on a Romany ancestry site but I suspect that is because they have done a blanket search for the word tent and just added it.
My question is this, what does the Matthews Tent mean?  In the 1891 and 1901 census, my ancestors are still living in Temperance St/Place but no mention of Matthews Tent.

Thank you in advance for any thoughts.

Charlotte,
The local library couldn't help but have passed my query to the Devon Records office who they believe do hold some records.
Thank you for all your advice
