1841 Census - Foad - Look Up

[janerich]

Would someone be able to look up 1841 census for:

Stephen Foad, born around 1766-1770 and his wife Margaret aged about 66 in 1841.  They both died during 1851.

I have found the following reference H0107/0469/1/ for Chatham Street Ramsgate but I am not happy that this is my Stephen Foad as his wife is not there - although this appears that it may be an institution of some sort.

I also believe he is more likely to be found in Chislet, St Nicholas at Wade, Reculver (although I understand these records are lost) or maybe Blean which is where Margaret died.

Many thanks
Jane

HI Jane,

There is a Margaret Foat? aged 70 on ref number HO107/469/6 Hertford Place, Ramsgate, Kent

Thankyou - that might be what I am looking for as someone elsewhere has told me that there is a Stephen Foat in Isle of Thanet.  I will check his reference number to see if it is the same and will let you know later! Could be the enumerator was a little hard of hearing!

My Stephen was definitely in Ramsgate, in 1851 just before he died - the wife margaret having died in January 1851 before the census and Stephen obviously went to live with his daughter.

many thanks

Jane

There are still quite a few Foad families living in the Thanet area if this helps.

I have been doing a one name study on the surname of Foad for ten years now.

I'm really sorry to disappoint Susannah but I have already examined this record (it is the one I mention in my original post above) and believe I have posted about it under another topic.  Unfortunately this is my first foray onto this site this year.  Since my Mum died 8 months ago and my sister has been extremely ill with cancer and a myriad of other things (traumatic) that have occurred Family History has taken a back seat for a while.

Anyway to cut a long story short - not only is this NOT the Stephen Foad that belongs to me - it isn't even a Foad!

Having sucessfully completed a course in Palaeography and also a research module using old documents I am fairly confident that the initial letter is a J not an F. Take a look at the top entry - the person's first name is James - the letter is the same as that on the line 3 down Stephen ... Joad.  (Sorry the transcriber has got it wrong and I don't know how to get these sites to change them).  Also to confirm the theory look at the facing page lines 8 & 9  the first is a Jane Collard and the next Fanny Cramp.  You can see quite clearly from that what this particular scribe's Fs looked like so I am afraid that this is not one of the Foad family after all!

Kind regards
Jane
