Hi There

Would someone be so kind as to look up DORMAN at 24 Moncrieff Rd Peckham in the 1861 & 1871 Census for me?

This is the address at which my Gt GM Margaret Jane Dorman was living when she married in 1876.  Her parents were Jacob Gowland Dorman, Engineer or Engine worker, and Margaret Fenwick and I'm hoping for some clues as to where they came from. 

Gt Grandma was born in Constantinople, which is romantic but of no use in tracking down the ancestors!

Thanks, Jane

I am struggling to find Margaret in 1871, do you have an age for her?

Nicky

Margaret Jane Dorman b 2 Sept 1856, Constantinople, so she would've been ~ 15 in '71

Sorry cannot find Margaret in 1871, in later census there is also a Robert Dorman born c 1853 in Constantinople.

Hi

The first census that I can find Robert in is the 1891

1891 census

Robert Dorman, head, age 28, chemical labourer born Constantinople British Subject
Elizabeth, wife, age 27 born Hornsey Fortis Green
Elizabeth, dau, age 7 born Essex Custom House
William, son, age 5 born Wilts Devizes
Herbert, son, age 3 born Essex Stratford

RG12 1311
folio 34 page 61
Stratford, West Ham, Essex

and here he is the 1901

Robert Dorman, head, age 38, ?? labourer (first word not clear) born Constantinople
Elizabeth, wife, age 36 born Finchley
Elizabeth, dau, age 18, domestic servant born Essex Stratford
William, son, age 15, stable boy born Wilts Devizes
Herbert, son, age 13, errand boy born Essex Stratford
Sarah, dau, age 9 born Essex Stratford

I will have a look and see whether I can find him earlier that 1891.
