Addison family Camberwell - Arthur Eli Addison
« on: Thursday 02 January 20 23:04 GMT (UK) »
Hi I am looking for help in tracing the members of the Addison family who in 1851 were in Havil Street Camberwell although they also appear to have owned a property in Sumner Street Southwark.

The father, Richard Brown Addison, born 1907 in Salford has various financial difficulties (London Gazette) in the 1840s. His wife Ann nee Sykes died in 1852 and he died in 1853.

Their older children are pretty much independent so go off alone and marry etc. Daughters Mary & Ann and a son Frederick Taylor (21, 17 and 14 when their father dies) move up north and in 1861 are with their father's sister Ellen Addison in Salford.
 
There was however a younger child Arthur Eli Addison, born 1849 in Camberwell, who I cannot find in 1861. I know that he worked on the railways and ended up in Lancashire but I would like to know what happened to him as a child.
Any help appreciated.

He was not baptized until after his parents died- Arthur Eli Addison- St Peter Southwark 26 November 1854 father Richard Brown Addison, Engineer and Ann,  address ---nce Street.
It's on ancestry perhaps someone else can decipher the name of the street

"..owned a property in Sumner Street Southwark."

Can you give more detail about the property in Sumner St.

At baptism 1854, the address is 3 Sumner Street Southwark.

Thank you all.
The property was 3 Sumner Street.
I had found the baptism record, this is after his parents’ deaths, so someone is apparently organising things!
His older brother Joseph Ashbury Addison married in 1853. The baptism for his first child gives the address of 3 Sumner Street so it looks as if the oldest child stayed in the family home. By 1861 Joseph Ashbury Addison is in his own home with his wife and children, no Arthur Eli. Three of the youngest four siblings are in Salford with their paternal aunt. Why would one child be treated differently? Arthur would have been 12 in 1861, was he at school? But if he was, why not Frederick too as he was only 14 in 1861.
Arthur married in Southport in 1871 shortly before that census. He worked for the railway but does not appear in the railway records as far as I can see.
Basically there is a gap from 1854 when he was baptised to 1871 when he married during which time he moved ‘up north’
Where was he on 1861 census?

I realise that you have him born Camberwell (Surrey)

Wow
Thank you all. Rosie that is truly amazing - how did you do that! I have spent ages looking for even something that closely approximates him.
The Muller homes, of which this is a record, have an information service so I am going to contact them before I get too excited, but thank you all for your help.

I just searched 1861 census on F M P for Arthur Addison born 1849+/-2years using name variants, they gave me 14 results.
