The Common Room / Re: Susan Fisk 1851 census confufustion
« on: Yesterday at 12:22 »
So it looks like Caroline is part of this family & her mother
recorded as 60/64 makes an 1823 birth a bit more feasible.
I notice on Caroline's Baptism her mother name is spelt Anne.
There are a couple of marriages both 1801 Hackney to an Ann Gadd
& Ann Jordan.
There are also a couple of Baptisms with mother Anne a William & Henry
both St. John's Hackney who may be siblings.

I have a Caroline of 1811
I saw that one but as it's such a common name (& there are other William & Ann Wright's in London)
you can only go on father's occupation which doesn't appear on Baptism entries until 1813.
On Elias, Thomas & Susan's (Susannah) Baptisms he's a gardener, same on Elias's marriage.
Can't find Mary Ann's.

Found just 1 other child Thomas Wright b. 1817.
Looks like Elias was the oldest b. 1815 so mother could be
born around 1790.

It's possible the enumerator has recorded her age incorrectly.
I'm not seeing much about the family at the moment.
Looks like Susan died in 1859 not that it helps much.

I would suggest 1870's.
They look in their 50's.

If the 1911 Edith emigrating is her the other 1912 Sunday school Edith must be someone else.
Although she's not on the BHC website it may be she's gone via an assisted passage under the
umbrella of Barnardo's with them acting as chaperone.
Older minors who were unemployed &/or transient were encouraged to emigrate.

Which shipping entry were you looking at?
It's from the Library of Canada website which has her down as Edith May which is probably an error
as the shipping list says Mary.
She departed from L'pool May 13 1911 on the Teutonic.

British Home Children Registry has an Edith Baker DOB 1900
sailing on The Sicilian 29/6/1911 from London to Quebec.
Sent by Barnardo's children's home.
From there she went to Hazelbrae, Peterborough Ontario a children's home
for girls run by Barnardo's.
No other information.
Probably not her as Suzy100 has a better match.
