1851 Look Up please - KEELING - Rochford District

[Dave Male]

Good Morning 

I would be grateful for any information regarding the family that shows as one, of them Agnes Keeling born c1848 Woodham Ferris. Regret that I have no other family information as she was shown as a servant elsewhere in 1861. Possible areas for search in the Rochford District are Woodham Ferris or Rawreth - possibly in Rayleigh also.

Many thanks in anticipation - Kind Regards - Dave

Hi Alan

Well spotted, and thanks very much for your time and effort. I will be able to double check the spelling as I have the 1861 discs at home and hope those shown above show Keeling in 1861.

Only located this link to my wife's side today via a contact enquiry - but I already have Keelings on my side of the tree from exactly this area - a bit of incest looks as though it may crop up.

Very grateful to you. Kind Regards - Dave

Hello Alan

Thanks for the offer - it would help

I've just done a trawl of 1861 Woodham Ferrers/Ferris, and found the elderly Samuel and Mary Ann still there - and they are certainly Keelings as opposed to Keelers in 1861.

It looks as though the others may have moved somewhere locally. I'm particularly interested in Agnes's parents - however, there is a Samuel Keeling Death Registration 1854 Chelmsford District which includes Woodham Ferrers and I wonder if that's him.

Meanna looks an odd forename for the mother - perhaps it could be a Martha which is unfortunate as there is also a death registration 1857 Chelmsford District.

If these are the same parents, then that could be why I find her away from her family in 1861. In which case I wonder where her sister 'enmaly' (emily?) is in 1861 - perhaps showing as a niece aged about 11 or something like that, which would open up the family a bit.

Many thanks for the offer Alan.

Kind Regards - Dave

Hi Alan

Many thanks for the 1861 and other information. The jig saw is beginning to fit together nicely.

My thoughts about early death of Samuel and Martha were not well founded, as I found them still alive in 1881.

Very grateful for you time. Kind Regards - Dave
