Hi

My grandfather, Charles Worth, was a glassblower.  In 1901 when he was 20 years old he lived at 5 Sheen Grove, Islington, Middlesex, and in 1911 he was living at 32 Buckland Street, Hoxton, both times his occupation was given as glassblower.  His brother Alfred T Worth was a glassblower in 1891, but by 1901 & 1911 he was a thermometer glass blower.  He also lived at Sheen Grove, but had moved on to Clerkenwell by 1901.

As it is doubtful that they would have travelled very far to work, does anyone know if there were any glass making factories in the areas mentioned above at that time.  Also, is it possible to find out which factory these brothers worked for?

Born on the 25th April 1846 in Sydney, NSW together with her twin sister Mary Elizabeth CASE and baptised at the Scots Church, Sydney on the 24th May 1846 to William CASE and his wife Sarah nee Tubby, both from England.  On the 7th Jan 1849 the twin girls, their mother now Mrs George FOWLER and a new baby Emma Sarah FOWLER arrived in Hobart aboard the 'Emma'.

Mary Elizabeth CASE married John Thomas HALL on the 31st May 1873 in Hobart, but does anyone know what happened to Sarah Isabella CASE?  The Halls ended up in New Zealand moving there in 1890.  Did Sarah Isabella go too, or did she stay in Tasmania?  Did she marry or did she die a single woman?  So far I have been unable to answer these questions - can anyone help, maybe some new ideas?

John Allen Fowler b. 1846 Tottenham married Rhoda Ann Sparks in Edmonton district 1869.  Four known children, namely John S Fowler, b. c. 1870 St Lukes; Katie Rhoda Fowler b. c. 1873 Deptford, Kent; Alexander Frederick Fowler b. c. 1875 Kent; and Herbert Henry Fowler b. c. 1878 also Kent.

John Allen Fowler's grandfather John Fowler was the last parish beadle of Tottenham.

Does anyone have this family on their tree, or have any connections with these people?  Trying to find descendants.  Photo if John Fowler, the parish beadle.

Hi

I have been looking for Sarah Tubby for a long time now.  She was born in 1817 in Tottenham, Mdx. and appeared in the 1841 census for Scotland Green, Tottenham with her parents & some siblings.  On 1 Apr 1844 she married in the Scots Church, Sydney, NSW, Australia, so between 1841 and 1844 she emigrated to Australia.  I have tried the assisted and unassisted lists on the NSW State Records site (unfortunately they don't start early enough) plus lots of other passenger lists, to no avail.

Can anyone help with the assisted and unassisted lists from an earlier date to cover a departure in 1841 please?

Hi

Has anyone lost, or come across in their research, Hannah Reddish who was born
about 1806 in Blackley, Lancashire?  Her father was Samuel Reddish.

By the 1851 census Hannah was married and widowed, her surname now Webber, and she was living in Tottenham, Mdx.  Her occupation was finisher of elastic webbing. 

On 14th November 1852 she married William Brame Tubby at St Mary's, Bethnal Green, Mdx. and she died at the end of 1898 in Tottenham, Mdx.  On the 1861,71,81 and 91 censuses she is with William.

This is the extent of the information I have on Hannah, I have been unable to trace her on the 1841 census, either as a Reddish or a Webber, nor on the IGI.
