1851 BETNALL GREEN please

[SueB]

Hi

Its me (SueB) still looking for the family of ABBOTT DURELL in Bethnall Green.

I have obtained the birth certificate of one of Abbott's daughters - ELIZA born 4 July 1853 at 25 Green Street, Bethnall Green.

Please could someone check who was living at this address as it has been given to me previously for this family but never confirmed.   Abbott's wife Mary has the former name of BEFRAFT so maybe the Durell's were living with the in-laws.

Thanks in advance

Thanks for such a quick reply - even though it still doesn't seem to help me find my DURELL family.

Sounds as though it could have been a rather grand address if the occupier was a surgeon...............

Perhaps he had a Surgery at that address and delivered your Eliza there by Cesarean or something?
Might be worth asking for a address look up in 1861 to see if Edward Maycock/Haycock is still living there?
Guess it wont find Eliza but might explain why that address.

What a good idea.  I have only imagined my family as very poor (Abbott is listed a beer retailer and was working as a stevedore when he died) not as if they could afford a surgeon to deliver a baby!!

There were 2 other children (11 and 13 in 1861), who are all listed as born in Bethnall Green but I have checked all the birth records without any luck....

Thanks for the suggestion

Perhaps they were poor as they had to pay the Surgeons fees?   

I need to look through that area soon and will keep an eye out for the name.
Good luck

Befraft is a very unusual name.  There is not one on the IGI. Are you sure this is the right name?  I looked in Bethnal Green and Whitechapel and there is no-one with that name.  Can you put a copy on here so we ban look at it?

Thanks for your reply.

I am in the middle of changing computers and my scanner is "dead" so as soon it is up and working I will be back in touch.

Hello

I'm doing a bit of housekeeping and wondering if this older request has been resolved in the meantime or you are still looking for the information?  If the latter, do you have any further information to hand?

If I don't hear from you in a while I'll assume this is resolved and move it to the 'completed' section.

Regards
