1891 Census - Thomas Lister
« on: Thursday 07 October 21 15:46 BST (UK) »
Hi everyone,

I'm having trouble finding a census for 1891 for a Thomas Lister (born 1853 in Cardiff, Wales). He was in Gisburn, Yorkshire in 1881 and worked as an engine driver.  His wife is called Rosina/Rosey and was also born in Cardiff. They had 2 children in 1881: Sarah A Lister and Rosey Lister.

In a 1901 census I found Rosina as a widow and her 2nd youngest child Nellie was born in 1890 in Cheshire, hence posting this here. Judging from the 1901 census, Thomas and Rosina had children born in various counties so it could be elsewhere (Cardiff, London, Derbyshire and Christchurch). Thomas seems to have enjoyed travel, much like his father. :D

Thank you!

Thanks Rosie and John. :)

I wonder how many births I’ve probably missed on my tree with some dying young. Sad to see them dying as kids but it did happen.

I’m on Ancestry. Any clue what keywords would get me to the image, John?

Strangely, I didn’t find any will/probate information for Thomas. Would have been useful. :(

Thanks

Indexed correctly on The Genealogist.  Ref Chesterfield  RG12/276/1
1891 census 18 Bread (Pavement?)
Tom Lister 37 engine driver born Cardiff
Rose   28 born Cardiff
Rose   10 born Gisbon? Yorkshire
Tom    8 born London
Joseph   7 born Cardiff
Edith    4 born Christchurch Hants
William  3 born Cardiff
Nelly   1 born Cheshire  (Latchford)

so did child Sarah Ann ( born 1880) die before 1891 or is she a servant somewhere

ADDED
Just in case the family previous is Francis Hannington age 68 and family.
