London burials
« on: Saturday 17 November 07 23:21 GMT (UK) »
Hello
I would be grateful if anyone could help me.
For many years I have been looking for the death of Amelia wife of Joseph Taylor.
She was living in Hitchin, Hertfordshire when the 1851 & 1861 census was taken.
In 1861 she was 41 years old living with husband Joseph a Drover. She had 4 living children the youngest being only 1 month old.
In 1871 her widowed husband was at a Beer House & Common Lodging house in Hitchin - Drover out of work.
I can only find her youngest child now living with Joseph's sister.
Amelia was the daughter of George Curtis a Farmer. I do not know where he lived.
I believe Drover's wives moved around with their husbands from cattle market to cattle market and wondered if she died on route. There are no Hitchin deaths or burials for Amelia or her children.
As the GRO Index does not give age of deaths for the following 5 entries I am unable to rule them out. The 6th Amelia was the correct age but was she wife of Joseph Taylor, Drover?

GRO Deaths

Dec 1862      Taylor    Amelia       St Giles          1b   305   LND
Jun 1863     Taylor    Amelia       Brentford          3a   41   MDX
Dec 1863      Taylor    Amelia       Pancras          1b   24   LND
Dec 1864                 Taylor    Amelia       Newington      1d   151   LND
Jun 1865      Taylor    Amelia       Bethnal Gn      1c   205   LND
Jun 1866      Taylor    Amelia    45    Lambeth           1d   244   LND

Any help would be gratefully received.

I don't know whether it will help but in the middle of the 19th century there appears to have been a regular cattle drive from Hereford to Hitchin.

Thank you for replying
There are no Amelia Taylor's deaths registered for Herefordshire but there is one Amelia in Oxfordshire and one in Worcestershire which may be on route from Hertfordshire.
