Find Ancestors

Hi
I have a death certificate for James Macfarlane died 25th july 1868
address 35 Gloucester Rd Pancras The subdistrict is Regents Park
and the county is Middlesex.
I also have the marriage cert for his daughter Maria agnes isabella Macfarlane to Ferdinand Himeley.
the address given is also 35 Gloucester Rd Pancras.
What I want to know is who is living at this address in 1871.
Does anyone have a clever idea as to how to find an address in a census.
I would also like to find an 1871 record for Annie Gibbs who notified James death she gave her address in 1868 as 27 North Audley St Grosvenor Square.
Thanks Tania

It doesn't state what his occupation was but this was listed as "Fords (?) Hotel

Thankyou Nicki and Joan,that is brilliant.
James Macfarlane was born in Scotland in 1798.
he was a wealthy merchant who set up business in the West Indies.
he had a family as a young man,his wife died and he remarried and had 4 daughters to a woman 20 yrs his junior called Marie Louise Honorine gaillard De Laubenque.
All the girls were called Marie and were known by there second names.The eldest was born in St Lucia,the second in london and the last 2 in France.
Marie Agnes Isabella was born in france in 1855
That census result is brilliant,as it confirms a piece of my puzzle.
The James in the census is actually his nephew James son of his brother John,he was also james the elders son in law as he was married to his daughter Anna Maria Flora.
Anna Maria Flora died in 1862 after having Flora Elizabeth and he remarried to a woman Elizabeth.
he was executor of James the elders will,which is why he would have been living in his house and had Marie Agnes Isabella living there as both her parents were dead( her mother died in France in 1858)
Thanks heaps again
Regards Tania

Excellent - so is there anything else you need?

Where do you think Annie Gibbs fits into the equation? What relation is she?

Nicki

Thankyou Wayne /tracy joan and Nicki.
It looks like we all cross posted.
I think I am good for now,this has been a hard family because they were really mobile between London France and St Lucia but I have a lot of diary notes and there was a book with a lot of info in about them so it is falling in to place.
I know where to come to with my next question though LOL
Regards Tania

Annie Gibbs may have been a servant--the death certificate didn't state relation?

Hi Joan
No it didnt and your right she may well have been but I have a vague memory of hearing the name gibbs to do with the family before
I have spent all afternoon racking my brains why,and I cant find the book I need to check it
Never mind I am sure it will show up probably when I am not looking for it LOL

could she be a female relative of someone marrying into the family?

Have you checked the ships lists too to see who travelled with who on these trips?

Tania found this...

East India Register & Army List 1855

Jas R Macfarlane, M.A. Minister of the Church of Scotland 1848, Madras Ecclesiastical Establishment

This your man?

J Macfarlane, also appears on a list of Public Notaries for Bombay in 1873.

Thankyou Wayne/Tracy
No my James was a merchant and based in the West Indies,mostly St Lucia
Regards Tania

One last request before I go to bed.
Elizabeth is at 35 gloucester st in 1891 with her son John.(the male born 1871)
Could someone please check 35 Gloucester street in the 1901 census.
I must be doing something wrong as I tried trawling the emuneration districts but still cant find it
Thanks Tania
