1891 census lookup request
« on: Wednesday 22 March 06 22:55 GMT (UK) »
I am interested in Matthew Glenn, who lived in Sheffield at the time of the 1901 census when he was 17 years old. He was born in Lincolnshire and I think his fathers name was Cornelius. I think the family could have been in Lincolnshire at the time of the 1891 census. Could anybody tell me details of the census return for Matthew Glenn & his family

Many thanks

Robert.

Hello Geoff, Thanks for the reply. No sign of Matthew Glenn though, so maybe I have got the wrong family.

Could anybody tell me if there is a Matthew Glenn, aged approx. 7 in the area when the 1891 census was taken.

Or if anybody could tell me which household he was in whilst in Sheffield, 1901, aged 17.

Thanks in advance

Robert.

You may already have this information if not you may be interested to know that an Elijah Glenn Of Lincoln City was baptized on 25th February 1846

He was admitted to Christ's Hospital School (Blue Coat School) on the 12th December 1853

He then left as Apprentice Blacksmith to Edmund (the younger) Skins & Edmund Skins (The Elder) of Metheringham on the 4th May 1860.
