1861 census lookup - TUBBS

[JenClark]

Hi,

I wonder if someone could look up the following family in the 1861 census for me:

John TUBBS (b. 1804 Witcham, Isle of Ely, Cambs) Farmer
Lucy Case TUBBS wife (b. 1810 Sculthorpe Norfolk)
Joseph John TUBBS son (b. 1841 Kennett Cambs)
Robert Frederick TUBBS son (b. 1844 Kennett Cambs)
Henry Ibberson TUBBS son (b. 1846 Kennett Cambs)
Alice Maria TUBBS dau (b. 1848 South Runcton Norfolk)

They were in Burnham Overy Norfolk for the 1851 and 1871 census returns. I am trying to figure out when the boys left for Australia as they are gone by the 1871 census.

Thanks so much for youe help

Hi Angela,

Thanks for that - now I know that Joseph John Tubbs had left home by 1861 - he married in Queensland in 1865 so I figured he may have been gone - his brothers followed but obviously not right away 

Thanks for offering to look up the Cambridgeshire 1841 census for me the family would be as follows:

John Tubbs (b. 1804 Isle of Ely, Cambs)
Lucy Case Tubbs (b. 1810 Sculthorpe, Norfolk)
Lucy Green Tubbs (b. 1837 Kennett, Cambs)
Joseph John Tubbs (b. 9 Feb 1841 Kennett, Cambs)

As I understand it Kennett is on the Cambridge border with Suffolk is this right? I hope they are in your index 

Thanks again

Hi Jen,

Just had a look and Kennet is on my discs but no John and Lucy Tubbs perhaps they only moved there and had Joseph after the census???

Sorry not much help to you after all.

All the best Angela.

Hi Angela,

Joseph John Tubbs birth is sometimes given as Newmarket and sometimes Kennett. I believe that Newmarket is near Kennett but is in Suffolk or on the border. Is it possible to check Newmarket? Or will that be in the Suffolk census? 

Thanks so much for your help, you have been fantastic

All that is on the Cambridgeshire discs is Newmarket All Saints. I gave it the once over and not a sign of them.

I checked the Cambridgeshire Family History Society site which has the index for the 1841 but there is no sign of them on it at all?? More mystery. Perhaps a request on the suffolk board might get the answer. Don't know how the boarders work in that area you probably have more idea than me. Nothing ventured nothing gained. could be that they didn't live in ither town but somewhere inbetween and just put the nearest town to where they were born for census  better than 3miles down the lane from Kennet.
If you understand what I'm saying. Try the suffolk board you have nothing to loose and maybe thats where they will be found.

Sorry I couldn't help

Just checking our last conversations I have put Alice Tubbs as born in Kennet she was born in Runcton so sorry about that. 

All the best in finding them Angela

Thanks Angela, I will put it on the Suffolk board

Hi Angela,

Sorry to be a pain but I just found Joseph John Tubbs birth certificate from 9 Feb 1841 - registered 11 Mar 1841 in Newmarket (subdistrict Gazeley). It states that John and Lucy Tubbs were living in Kennett at this time his occupation is given as a farmer. I was hoping with this information might help.

These certificates are so frustrating! They have that he was born at 10 in the morning but not more detail on the address! Just Kennett...

I promise I will give up after this 

Thanks

Jenny
