1851 Census Lookup, Poplar - BUTCHER.
« on: Saturday 13 August 05 08:42 BST (UK) »
 :) Hello and Greetings from Queensland, Australia!
     Could some kind person please have a look for the following family in Poplar area, 1851:-
BUTCHER, Benjamin (b.1813 Sussex?) occ. labourer in 1861;  His wife Catherine (b.1810?);  Priscilla (b.1836?); Benjamin (b.1838?); William (b.1843?).  All born County Sussex.
    In 1841 they were living Patching St., Patching, Sussex.
    In 1861 they were at Manchester Rd., Poplar, MDX.
    So perhaps they were also in Poplar area in 1851?
Many thanks, in anticipation.
                                                                      Carol

I don't have an index for Poplar but I looked at the 1851 indexes for adjoining areas Bethnal Green and Whitechapel and they were not there.

 :)  Thank you Sylviaann.
I thought I may be lucky enough for someone to have the Census for Poplar?
It's worth a try!
Thanks again.                                                Carol

Hello

This may be them, but not quite Poplar  ;D

1851 - Bitterne, South Stoneham, Hampshire

Benjamin Butcher, head, 37, Gentleman's Coachman
Catherine, wife, 47
Priscilla 14? Dressmaker
Benjamin 12 Stable Boy
William 8

The birthplaces for all read: Sussex  ""  (the "" is from the record above which is Hants Bishopstoke, so that may be the enumerators mistake).

Folio: 233 
Page: 51

 :D Great, Jonathan!  Thank you very much.
That looks as if it's the right family.
  Just goes to show - good things come to those who wait!!
Thank you again.
