1841 census lookup please
« on: Thursday 21 March 13 02:18 GMT (UK) »
Hi. I am looking for Elizabeth MArtin In greenwich Kent 1841. I dont know whether she is sungle or married but she is informant on the death certificate of my 3x great grandmother, georgiana Bolt [maiden name, Martin] georgiana was born about 1791. I am hoping that Elizabeth is  sister or sister in Law maybe. It is hard to make out the street of her residence but I think it is Atlas Street, greenwich. Sorry for the lack of info.
Many thanks

I can't easily see an Elizabeth Martin living in Kent in 1841. Scrap that. I changed my search terms and found loads of them.

I will have a look at the obvious ones living in Greenwich to see where they are living. However keep in mind that Elizabeth may have been at Georgiana's house when she died, and it may be impossible to know which Elizabeth Martin is the informant if she, for example, was with her own family on the night of the census. :-\

What date did Georgiana die?

Looking at only those living in Greenwich (though your informant could have come from anywhere). So far I have found two in the Union Workhouse, one in George St living with her own family, one in Grove Place ... one in Park St and one in Roan St (though these are only 15 so maybe too young?) - there are probably more. And of course there are many Elizabeth Martin's in neighbouring areas ...  :-\

Maybe someone with access to Find My Past can do an address search for Atlas St and tell you who was living there in 1841?

Hi Ruskie. Georgianas address was Morden street [ Her husband peter, and 3 children also lived there] Informant definatley gives her address as Atlas street Greenwich. The death was 5th of April. I am not sure when the census night was but it was after Georgiana died.

Thank you Grouse. James, being 50, is the right age to possibly be Georgianas brother.
Many thanks again ;D
