(Completed) Statter Family - Census Look Up Please

[natterjack72]

Thank you,

just out of interest, was she living with anyone else at the time?  I didn't expect to see her in Hertfordshire, I've no idea what she is doing up there.. though I have a suspicion.

As we have on a document the mention of a James Duffin, but we are not sure if it is the name of the father to her children or a name her son had his name changed to a couple of years later.

I can't find James on the 1881 census at all for some reason, though I am sure I have found it in the past.  And as for Lilly, well I have already been told they spelt her name wrong on the 1881 census and she is living in London, but I still can't find her.

Would anyone mind looking for James on the 1891 census for me and perhaps Lilly too... I don't think they were together by then though.

Thanks again as always,

Regards,

Liz

Lilly and James are both married in 1901 - do you need that info?

[natterjack72]

I know pretty much all all about Lilly,  though I have been told that the marriage took place 24 January 1900 at Countess of Huntingdon Connexion in Margate and it was believed that James was married to Adeline Wass in 1897 Colchester, Essex.

But any information greatfully received.  Especially the 1901 census info.

Thanks again and regards,

Liz

Thanks so much, it's very nice to see that James and Lilly stayed close by.  I'll have to ask my dad if he knows those houses... though they are probably house numbers by now... as he grew up in Garlinge himself.. a couple of doors up from where his grandparents lived at some point.. so could still be the same house.  Lilly and William were his grandparents.

Again, thank you

With kind regards,

Liz

I am interested in your Statter Family research, mine links to the same family via Elizabeth's sister Sarah who married Montague Watts Doubleday, I have quite a lot of info about the family if you would like to get in touch.

thanks Janet

Dear Liz,

I have just started researching the life and work of Richard Dover Statter.  You may know that he wrote a world-renowned pamphlet on the decimalisation of time.  Related to this is a watch in the collection of the Worshipful Company of Clockmakers with a dial laid out for decimal 'reading'.  The watch was apparently made by Richard's brother Thomas.  So far I have been unable to discover much about Thomas, and certainly nothing to verify that he did indeed work as a watchmaker. Have you found anything more about the brothers please?

Regards.

Hi
I picked up your request for info about Thomas Statter brother of Richard Dover Statter.
Thomas was born in Liverpool 20 Sept 1838 he is listed on the 1861 Census in Bare  Morecambe as a watch maker, he died in 1868 and his trade was a watch maker, he left a will, the address on the will calendar was Coperas Hill Liverpool.
I have more info on this family I am researching his sister Sarah family.

I could snd you copies of the above if I have your email, regards Janet

Dear Janet,

Thanks - that's very kind of you.  I will send you a note of my e-mail address separately.

Sorry to see that Thomas, like his brother, died whilst only in his thirties; ironic since Richard and dad Edward were doctors, (and I have found a few newspaper reports of Edward being involved in inquests).

Richard's work on time measurement is a well respected work, but maybe he felt uncomfortable about having spent time/effort on it at the possible expense of his medical calling, as he used only his middle name for authorship purposes: Dover Statter.

On an incidental, mundane note, I also found details of a legal dispute over payment for a suit!

With kind regards.

David
