Emma Martha Davis. Bethnal Green Completed thanks

[F.H.]

Hello all.

I'm looking for as much info on Emma Martha DAVIS, her parents and brothers and sisters. She was born around 1832 in Bethnal Green.

She married a Frederick HEINS in 1854 and I have the info following her marriage, thankyou. But it's her relatives I would like to find if poss.

Her fathers name was, i believe, George DAVIS. He was born around 1809 in Shoreditch and I think he was a weaver.

Many thanks

Hello F H

Does this look possible?

26 Booth Street, Christchurch Spitalfields

George Davis Head Widower 48 Hand Loom Weaver (Silk) b Stepney
Emma Dau Unm 20 Hand Loom Weaver (Silk) b Bethnal Green

She seems the best match given date and place of birth plus father George.

If you think this is possible I can have a trawl through the 1841 to see if I can find them, hopefully with a mother for Emma.

Hello Barbara.

Yes, that looks very promising...

Was that from the 1851 census ?

I would be very grateful if you could "trawl" through the 1841 for me.   

Many thanks,

Fred

Hi Fred
Yes, that was from the 1851.
I will get back to you on the 1841 census.

Hello again Fred
I am not having much luck in the 1841 census as I cannot find Emma with a father named George.  I have tried looking for both Davis and Davies.
Do you have Emma's marriage certificate? I wonder if the witnesses might be useful.

Hi Barbara.

On her marriage cert dated 1854, the witness's are a Ann Meyer and a Nicholas Gerken,. Unfortunately, these two are from her new husbands side. Her husband was German and had only recently arrived in England.   


Hi kennyb.

If we could see this family in the 1861 census, perhaps George Davis may have changed jobs just after that census and prior to her wedding in 1854...
Just a thought...   


Thank you both for your help,
Fred.

[Barbara F]

I will have a look at 1861 and see if the George Ken has found has changed his occupation. Will also look for the George I listed.
Don't suppose you have a proper address for Emma on her marriage certificate do you Fred?

Here are my 1861 findings

Ken's George
3 Heals Lane, Bethnal Green
George Davis Head Mar 52 Silk Tassel Maker b Shoreditch
Sarah Wife Mar 51 b Woolwich
Elizabeth Atkinson Sister in law 40 b St Lukes (can’tmake out marital status)

Although the wife’s name is different Elizabeth Atkinson seems to be the link between the 2 censuses and Susannah/Sarah’s place of birth is Woolwich on both censuses  George does seem to have changed his job.

In 1851 this family was in Bethnal Green but I cannot make out the name of the street – the writing is very bad but they were at number 93.

My George
19 Bank Street, St Dunstan, Stepney
I think this may be the George I found in 1851
George Davis Lodger Unm 57 Silk Weaver b Spitalfields

Not absolutely sure about the street names in the 1861 census  for either George!

I need to think about what this tells us.  Pity Davis is quite a common name. Emma's place of marriage may give us a clue.
