Joseph CASS Investigation!

Image
Joseph CASS is my Great, Great, Great Grandfather. When I first found out about him, it was because he was listed as the father of my Great, Great Grandmother, Jane CASS, when she was baptised at the church of All Saints in Little Canfield, Essex on 25th December 1836. Her mother is given as Eliza and Joseph's occupation was Labourer. I then found the three of them on the 1841 Census living in the Parish of Stanstead in Hertfordshire with both Joseph and Eliza listed as being 28 years old and Jane as 4 years old. Joseph is still listed as being a Labourer. The reference for this Census record is HO 107 P434 B12 F8 Pg10. Since the 1841 Census is the one where people were asked to round their ages to the nearest five if older than 15, at this point I would hazard that both Joseph and Eliza were actually 28 in 1841 which gives an approximate year of birth for both of them as 1813. For all three, there is an 'N' for born in the County so they weren't born in Hertfordshire.

Mary PRICE - Getting closer?

I swear to you that I really have tried to find Mary PRICE on the 1871 census before! Or maybe I just dreamed I did? After all, I may well have just seen the PRICE name and headed for a dark place to lie down :) Still, I have today found the PRICE family on the 1871 census, living at 48 Hatton Wall, Saffron Hill, Finsbury, London. On Ancestry, the Civil Parish is described as "Ely Rents and Hatton Garden and Saffron Hill" which may be appropriate as number 48 Hatton Wall has a number of families living in it as well as the PRICE family. Perhaps it is some kind of rental apartment? The entry for number 48 starts on the previous page of the census. There's the GUIDETTI family, consisting of Pietro and Margaret GUIDETTI and their five children, the STABLES family, headed by the widow Mary A STABLES with six members of her family, five children and one daughter-in-law and also the AMBLER family headed by the widower William AMBLER with his three sons. The PRICE family

A Smith Dilemma!

Image
I can't be the only person who comes across the SMITH name and wonders what on earth to do for the best! Emily Bessie SMITH My grandmother's name was Emily Bessie SMITH, born 9 Mar 1904 in Enfield, Middlesex (now London) to William SMITH (a Carman to a Horse Dealer) and Emily Jane JAMES. William and Emily married on 11 Dec 1893 in Enfield, Middlesex in Jesus Church. William says he is a 25 year old Carman, with father of John SMITH (Deep joy!). Emily was only 18 when she married, giving her father as Edward JAMES, and on the 1891 census, she's shown as 15 living with her parents, Edward and Ann, in Enfield. Her occupation is given as Scholar which is surprising as they weren't well off - her father was a Cowkeeper!  Anyhow, I give that extra detail because (assumption alert!) .... it doesn't look like she went very far? As a 15 year old, for instance, she wasn't living somewhere else in service. As a couple living in Enfield, on
