Willliam Humphreys - from Berkshire? COMPLETE
« on: Friday 19 March 10 14:41 GMT (UK) »
Hello all,

Could someone with access to the 1851 Census see where William HUMPHREYS (also spelt Humphrey and Humphries) and his wife Mary (nee Reece?) were born? I'm not sure if they had moved to London or not by the time the census was taken, or if their daughter Mary Ann made a solitary journey later on. 

William was, I believe, born about 1805 in Berkshire, possibly in Newbury, and Mary between 1810 and 1815, maybe in Ireland (according to a family story!); at home with them in 1851 should be at least three daughters, said Mary Ann (born 1833) and Eliza/beth (circa 1839) and Sarah (circa 1846), all born in Newbury, Berkshire.

Thank you :) 
I am interested in finding out more about these families:

Branthwayt(e): Thrapston, Northamptonshire
Branwhite: Suffolk and Essex
Flude: London
Godfrey: Hertfordshire and Romford, Essex
Gregory: Derbyshire and Shoreditch, London
Lowen: Epping in Essex
Matty: Tewkesbury  in Glucestershire and Essex
Mills; Hackney, London
Monro: Berwickshire, Hertfordshire, London
Oliver: from Essex
Sadler: Shoreditch and Hackney
Shorten: Belchamp Walter, Essex
Tickell: recorded in Shoreditch

Many thanks Tati  ;D Middlesex is a bit of a surprise! I always had it that he was a Berkshire man, but apparently not.

Cheers  :)
