Norfolk / Re: COMBER FAMILY FROM NORWICH where are they
« on: Thursday 31 May 07 16:05 BST (UK)  »
Hi Jane

It just could be them as Rosina on later census when she married Edward Longbottom is down as all kinds of spelling for her first name

The Rose could be her and the ages for her and Alice are correct and when you actually look at the census it looks like Comber

I know the family must have moved to Yorkshire because thats where Rosina met Edward - he came from Leeds - they married in Halifax and settle in Burnley Lancashire

I ll delve a little further, but don't where Hephsibal comes from

I note shes down as a hawker and on Alice's birth certificate John - her father - is down as a hawker

Thanks for that

Much appreciated

best regards

Hi

a Self Acting Minder was someone who watched & minded a "self Acting Mule" the name of a multi thread spinning machine

A Maker Up could have been either
1) made up garments to order
2) chemist
3) agent for paraffin sales

If you type in your search engine Hall Geneology website you will find a full list of old occupations

Norfolk / COMBAR or COMBER - POCKTHORPE
« on: Thursday 14 December 06 16:20 GMT (UK)  »
I seem to have misplaced my great great grandmother

I have found her on the 1871 census with her son aT
65 Barrack Street, Pockthorpe, Norwich, but cannot find them anywhere else

Her name on the 1871 census is "Hepzibiah Combar" but think it maybe Comber or even Cumber and her first name may be spelt Hephzibah DOB is c1847

It could even be her middle name as I think she may have been called Elizabeth H ?

She is with her son John M (which I think is Martin) age 2 months

My great grandmother - NAME ROSINA - was born c 1873 at the same address

But once again cannot find her on any census records either

Can anyone help please

Regards

Fran
