Gareys in London from 1700

[l.garey]

Can anyone help with the following?

In the London census of 1871 I find this family at 1 Plough Lane, Homerton:

Richard Garey age 42, blind maker, wife Eliza age 39
Children, born Shoreditch:
Edward, 21, blind maker
Richard, 19, sawyer
Frederick, 16, errand boy
Eliza, 14, book folder
Alice, 12
Laura, 9
Arthur, 6

My question is whether this is the same family as that of my ancestors, of which I only have the following:

Richard James Garey, bapt 2-1-1825 St Botolph Bishopsgate
married Eliza Webster 18-2-1849 at St Mary Haggerston
The only child I have is:
Edward Lovell Garey, b 3-5-1849 Hackney, bapt 27-5-1849, St Leonard Shoreditch, d 1887 Shoreditch
He was a venetian blind maker, so that agress with the first family's Edward, as does his age. The main discrepancy would seem to be the fathers' ages (about 1829, compared with Richard James, bapt 1825).
Many thanks

In the 1861 census  that family is at 3 Marian Square, Bethnal Green. Richard is shown as aged 36, Eliza 32.

Thanks Shaun. That was quick. Do you think it is likely to be the same as Richard James's?

Oh yes - the occupation clinches it

I wonder if I can come back to a question I asked a few weeks ago (1 December 2010). I was trying to establish any relationship to me of Edward Bryant Garey, a disgraced solicitor who was deported to Tasmania and died there in 1852. I have his parents as George Garey and Susanna.
Now, I have recently been looking at the Gareys related to the Blackett family, and have found George Garey who married Susanna Annesley in 1791 in Cripplegate whose sone Thomas Garey, born 1803 in Cripplegate, gave rise to a number of descendants whom I have been able to trace (Joseph, John, Susanna and Thomas, born between 1797 and 1803).
The question is, how can I check whether Edward Bryant (born 1796) was also a son of George Garey and Susanna Annesley?
Thanks

Have only just come across this string, which is of interest to me because Letitia Garey, daughter of Edward Bryant (the disgraced solicitor) was my great great grandmother. She married Richard Ward in 1824 (as previously noted) and died in Ramsgate in 1907. The Garey name reappeared in the family a couple of generations later as a second forename.
Sorry - I don't think that really adds anything to what you wanted to know, but the info in the string has filled in some blanks for me. I knew we'd come across a wrong 'un if I went back far enough!

Thanks very much Ward. I shall get back to you tomorrow.

Hello Ward
Back to you as promised. The whole family I have is George Garey m Susanna: son Edward Bryant 1796 -1852 (Hobart). He married Elizabeth Dean (b 1801) in 1819 in St Sepulchre. She died 1870 in Holland. Children were Maria Louisa (B 1820), Sarah Elizabeth (b 1822), Letitia (b 1824), Napoleon (1826-1914), George Washington (1827-1867, died in Holland), Eliza (B 1829), Mary Ann (b 1831). You say Letitia married Richard Ward in 1824: I think that should be she was born in 1824 and married in 1845.
Would you be willing to give me the rest of the information from Letitia onward? Either in the forum or privately? Also anything else you have on the family, or other Gareys around that time. I am still trying to link my branch with the many Gareys in the East End at that time.
Thanks
Laurence

PS: did you manage to find Edward Bryant's rather fashionable house? Now part of Gt Ormond St Hospital as far as I can make out on Google Earth!
