William Henry Preedy's 1891 Census
« on: Monday 18 September 23 21:33 BST (UK) »
Evening all,

Just a quick thread before I got to bed.

I'm looking for William Henry Preedy on the 1891 census.

This is what I know about the family.

William Henry Preedy
born 1838 St. Margaret's Westminster, Middlesex, England
Married second wife Eliza Martin 29-Jan-1891 (She aged 27) at St Martin's in the Fields
Eliza Martin born c.1864
It appears (GRO confirmed) they had a son George Frederick Preedy 1889 Edmonton, Middlesex, England

On to 1901 census
William is a widow aged 66.
George F now aged 12 (born Wood Green)

On the 1891 (on Ancestry (https://www.ancestry.co.uk/discoveryui-content/view/11814715:6598?tid=186056471&pid=152433226402&queryId=48ca40629726a484030820779811683e&_phsrc=IUg207&_phstart=successSource )) there is a Henry W Preedy but this not my William Henry:
Henry W Preedy   54   Head
Amelia R Preedy 54   Wife
Thomas R Preedy 25   Son

So I am looking for MY William Henry Preedy (also sometimes spelt Purdy, Priddy, Priday plus others)

Also trying to locate (though not a high priority)
Eliza's birth (Father James Martin)
Eliza's death (After 1891 but before 1901)

Many thanks in advance,

WOW that's a lovely thing to wake up to.

https://www.ancestry.co.uk/discoveryui-content/view/12217647:6598?tid=&pid=&queryId=ebeb228be57c605e8a136145e1020a86&_phsrc=IUg208&_phstart=successSource

Amazing that when you look at the sheet image that is clearly shows Preedy.
When I searched that entry didn't show up.

Thank you both very much  :)

1911 Eliza Preedy age 42 is a servant in the John Caton household address 3a Parkfield Street Islington.

States she is married 20 years 1 child and 1 still living.

It would appear they split up.

There is a death for an Elizabeth Preedy age 67 1930 registered Hackney

might be another Elizabeth w/o George Prady born 1863 living in Camberwell 1921

Slightly following on from this one.

William Henry (1837-1911) Preedy that is the William Henry above. had a some

William Henry (1865-1933) Preedy.
He was married to Margaret Stogdon between 1883 and 1889.
He then was in a relationship (not married as far as I am aware) to Mary Mahoney (pronc Marney)

I cannot find William Henry (the second one) on the 1891 census either.
