1891 census lookup - Martha Partridge ** updated

[johnP-bedford]

I am looking for entry on 1891 census for Martha Partridge born 1884 Eaton Socon. Her birth index is St Neots Apr/Jun 1884 & she is daughter to Hugh Ebenezer Partridge & Eliza (Caress). The rest of the family are found on 1891 living in Peterborough & she is found on 1901 as servant in Paddington, & I am told she married in 1907 & died 1950 in Finedon Northants.

Thanks for looking - I cannot find her at all.
regards John

I can't see her anywhere either  But..........there IS a Grace Partridge born 1883 in Eaton Socon living in Eynesbury with her  56 year old widowed aunt Elizabeth Hall(shopkeeper) and her daughter also Elizabeth 27.

RG12/1242 folio 76 page 7

Any chance that could be her?

Regards

Carol

Thanks Carol

I've already considered this but I don't think it is her as I've found a Grace Partridge born 1883 Eaton Socon Beds working as a servant (ladys maid) in household in Tottenham, Middx on the 1901 census.

A contact of mine managed to get a copy of Martha Ann P's original birth certificate and this shows that her parents were not Hugh P and Eliza Caress but were Charles P and Elizabeth Hopkins. Charles b 1856 Honeydon/Eaton Socon & Elizabeth b 1851 Staploe.

I cannot find them on 1891 assuming that they would have Martha with them.

Can someone else have a look please.

Thanks John

Hi John

Miriam Hopkins presumably Elizabeth's daughter was with Charles & Elizabeth in 1881 and in 1901, but in 1891 was staying with her Hopkins grandparents in Eaton Socon. In 1901 there's also a 9 year old Arthur Partridge born Wyboston (born Sept quarter 1891) so Charles & Elizabeth were certainly in the locality. But I can't find them anywhere - I've been right through Wyboston hoping they've been mistranscribed, but they're not there

Sorry!

thanks for looking David.

Alledgedly there is another child from Charles & Elizabeth P, named Ada Elizabeth;  both she & Martha were baptised 26/05/1890 in Eaton Socon.  Again cannot find her on 1891 - but she could be the Ada found on 1901 born 1885 Wyboston, working as servant in Roxton.
