1871 Census - Hammond

[Barbara F]

On the 1861 census I have the Hammond family at 8 Martha Court, Bethnal Green. James aged 36, Esther 31, Emily 9, George 7, Alice 5 and Caroline 1.
Could someone please check whether they are still there in 1871 or possibly at 19 Royston  Street, Bethnal Green (1881 census address)
Esther Hammond may have died by 1871 ; James' second wife was Margaret.
Thank you.

Thank you Willow - that was quick!

Definitely my family and now I have a shorter time frame for Esther's death.

Your welcome

Guessing Ester died between 1861 and 1865 from Johns age

Unless James was being naughty!

Think Esther died 1863 and James remarried 1866.
I am wondering where the other children of Esther and James are.  Emily may have married but I wonder whether you can find George and Alice in 1871?  Caroline was my main concern as she is my great grandmother.

Hiya Barbara

I have looked and I cannot find either Alice or George in the 1871 census

I have looked in the deaths but between 1858 and 1876 the doesn't seem to be any deaths listed for an Alice Hammond. There are only 2 Georges listed as dying in Bethnal Green in 1866 and 1868 are both the wrong age

I could be that they both died around the same time as Esther as there were a lot of plagues (for want of a better word) at that time eg diphtheria, dysentery etc so they may have died and the registration list isn't up to date yet

As you say Emily may have married but there are quite a few of that name listed so its a bit impossible to check out which one she is

Sorry

Thanks for trying.  They may have died - significantly I can't find George in the 1881 census.

Yes I did try that one too but the only George listed about the right age was born in a different area of London

Only thing we can do is wait until the records are up to date

If you can find Esthers death certificate it will be interesting to see what she died of and might give us some more clues
