1891 census look up please
« on: Wednesday 11 October 06 20:58 BST (UK) »
Hi,

Please could someone look for Alfred Purcell on the 1891 census.  In 1881 he is living in Dawley, Shropshire with his mother a 1 of his daughters, Harriet Purcell.
He was widowed at the time.  In 1901 he is still living in Dawley Shropshire, but the daughters must have married by then.  I'm hoping that he may be living with doth daughter in 1891.  Alfred was born in Dawley abt. 1854, Harriet was born in 1876 and his other daughter Emma was born abt. 1875.

Thanks
Kaz

Hi Kaz

It appears that Alfred's daughter Harriet was in service in the household of John W JACKSOn and his wife Mary Phyllis G JACKSON, in West Macclesfield.  Other daughter Emma also in service, in the household of William and ELiza Ann SMITH in Ashton Under Lynne Dukinfield. 

Cheers

I've just properly read all the information and I'm now wondering where Emily was on the 1901 census, I only have Alfred living with  his first wife's sister, Sarah Haynes and she was classed as a servant.

Hi Karen,

I'm obviously going mad, I think I was thinking they married in 91 and she died in 1902, honestly this family research is obviously not good for me! Thanks for making me think about it properly.
