Need Advice on connecting HEDGES brothers #1

[deb usa]

Hi Jenny

The ref for the 'other' Job is

 RG10/1656 81 53 ...it just seems soooo strange to have a couple and their children with the same names, born about the same time in the same area and hawkers!!!!

 I must admit that my blood started to boil at the enumerator's description of them ..... but then again it was 1871 and what did he know!

The Job Hedges in this census is the son of the Job Hedges I am trying to connect to William and James as brothers so It is a useful one to have.
I didn't think there were any more out there to find, but you certainly proved me wrong and I feel a little more hopeful that out there somewhere may just be the evidence I am looking for that will prove the three are brothers.

OK do we have an impostor as we seam to have Job Hedges Junior son of Job Hedges Senior in two places at the time of the 1871 census. He is at Romford with uncle James and at Brentwood as you have just found him. do I have an error somewhere. Details follow

Romford Shakespear Rd, Moss Lane.
Job Hedges age 27 Licensed Hawker  Born Breadhurst Kent
Phoebe Hedges aged 25                   Born Breadhurst Kent
Caroline Daughter age 3                   Born Romford Essex
Nancy daughter aged 1                     Born Birmin Kent

then we have

Brentford gallows green.
Job Hedges aged 30 hawker             Born Unknown
Phoebe Hedges aged 30                    Born Unknown
Caroline Daughter aged 3                 born Romford Essex
Nancy Daughter aged 6 months        Born Romford Essex


Oh dear which is right

This is amazing ...

Could it be possible that there are two Jobs with same wife and children's names in same area at the same time ....

In 1851 we have this;
I see Job Hedges in 1851 transcribed as HODGES
Caravans
Long Lane Bexley

Job Hodges head mar residing in traveller's caravan/hawker b Berks Windsor
Rosa wife 32 b Sussex
William son 13 b Tonbridge wells Kent
Harriet 11 unemployed b kent Barning?
Job son 8 b Kent Braidhurst ....bc 1843
James son 6 b Kent Cliffe
Jeremiah son 2 b Sussex

he def. fits with the Job in 1871 with 'uncle' James
Job Hedges age 27 Licensed Hawker  Born Breadhurst Kent

so who is Job bc 1841 , POB Unknown? could he be the same guy or a relative ...

will look in 1861 ...although without POB who knowa what we will find ?

Ah that explains what happened to Baby Job. I found His Baptism on the IGI along with Ruthie the parents were Job and Phoebe. that explains why Baby Job is not on the 1871 Census Perhaps the same happened to Ruthie. How devastating it must be to lose a child.

Looks like that must be her. How sad. Good work finding that one. I will send for Certificates as  I am Curious as to why they lost them thank you.
