Hi Erica

The only one I can see in 1841 is Robert Connolly (35), printer born Ireland with wife Teresa (25) also born Ireland but daughters are Jane, 8 born Middlesex and Teresa (8 months) born Ireland.

Ref - HO107 piece 724 folio 3/10 page 12

Best wishes

Thank you so much Maria!

Do you think it could be the same family?? Sounds like them?

Could a printer have become a compositor?

[miriamkinga]

Hi Erica

Could the other daughters have been born after the census?

A compositor is a typesetter who set the letters into a frame for printing so all part of the same trade.

Best wishes

Found them now on 1851 census - do you have this one?

HO107 piece 1527 folio 260 page 79

Still in Middlesex with wife Teresa (Jeresa on census) & daughters Mary Ann 15, Elizabeth 8 and Mable 4.

Hi Maria,

No I don't! Fantastic! Thank you

I wonder where Theresa and Jane disappeared too......

Hi Erica

Trying to see if I can find the other daughter Mary Ann in 1841 - don't know why she isn't with the family  or where the other daughters have gone???

There's a Mary Ann Conolly on the 1841 census at the Green Royal Pleasure Grounds, Kew.

Ref - HO107 piece 1075 folio 17/15 page 25.

She's with a Thomas and Mary Ann Nowlan both born Ireland, he's a gardener.
