James Carveley

[Delver]

Can anyone find out anything about James Carveley who married my great great grandmother Harriet (Robinson?) abt. 1860-1870. I have only found him on one census when they had moved from Cambridge to Warwickshire - before and after he seems not to have existed.

Hi,

Can I assume form your posting that you have found his wife and daughter in 1861?

Thanks very much indeed for the information. It fits perfectly.  Harriet Carveley was living in St Andrew the Less in 1861 with four children (surname Robinson) plus Amelia Jane - her daughter by James Carveley.  I haven't been able to establish whether Harriet was actually ever married to Mr Robinson the father of the older four, or whether he died/left them.

By 1871 James, Harriet and Amelia had moved from St Andrew the Less to Sutton Coldfield in Warwickshire (an inland resort at the time). Comparing the descriptions of the two areas they must have thought they'd died and gone to heaven!

After Harriet died in 1881, James simply disappears again.  Amelia married and moved to Aston (now inner Birmingham) - where she and her husband worked in a factory.
