Maria Davey laundress 1861
« on: Friday 02 June 17 01:35 BST (UK) »
I'm wondering if anyone can help with what has so far proved something of a mystery.  I'm currently researching my Davey ancestors and for some time have been stuck because my gt. gt. gt. grandfather John Davey died in 1846 and I only have the limited information on him provided by the 1841 census.  However, in 1861, his two youngest children were boarders in a household, 4 Norfolk Street, Christchurch, Surrey and also recorded as a visitor in the household is Maria Davey, aged 59 (and therefore of their father's generation), unmarried, born Walworth, Surrey, occupation laundress.  I'm guessing she might be their aunt/father's sister.  Unfortunately so far I've been unable to find any other reference to her in previous or subsequent censuses, or parish records.  Any suggestions please?

Maybe a long shot but there's a John Davey b. 1807 Mddx. to a Richard & Catherine. He had a brother Richard b. 1798 who is married to a Maria b. c. 1799 living in Walworth. So Maria Davey could be their Aunt but mistakenly listed as unmarried.

Thanks everybody.  I'm really impressed at your knowledge - all of the information relevant to my gt. gt. gt. grandfather was spot on.  I'll investigate the family of Richard and Maria Davey and see if it seems relevant.  Many thanks again.  PaulOTP
