George Bamford born 1835 Liverpool, Lancashire

He joined the 95th Regiment of Foot in 1855 at Liverpool and served in the mutiny in India from 1857 to 1867.

His regiment then returned to England and I was hoping some one might have a look in the 1871 census and see if he is there.

In the past his surname has been mistranscribed as Bumford.

I have him in the 1841 census and the 1851 census living with his brothers, I think by 1851, his parents Thomas & Ellen had died.

Thank you
Jan (in Australia)

May i ask if you have the brothers names ? and did he marry

I have a few Bamfords listed but cant match then to yours at present .

Further to the history behind

GEORGE BAMFORD

George was discharched from the army 19th June, 1866
and his trade was
tobaconist

and would be living at
113 Scotland Rd, Liverpool

If anyone might be able to find him for me in the 1871 census, it would be great
Thank you
Jan

Hi Jan

I have found 113 Scotland Road on census but it is uninhabited

RG 10 3755 piece 143 page 3

Jeanette

Thank you for looking.
Maybe,...George ended up going to Australia as promised in his letters to his brother? Now I need to find if he did.!
Is there any way I can find if he went to Oz? at that time?
Jan

Hi Jan

I only have access to FMP and the passenger lists start from 1890.

I don't know where else the earlier ones can be found,perhaps someone else will know

Jeanette

Hi Jeanette

I was wondering if you could have a look at
113 Scotland Rd, Liverpool in the 1861 census and see who was living there at that time, please
Thank you
Jan

Jan said 113 Scotland Rd was uninhabited in 1871. The ref no she gave took me to the even side of the road.
We will have to see if Jan can work out the odd side

Hi Jan

first of all, I would like to apologise for giving you the wrong info yesterday. I stupidly thought when I found 112-118 as uninhabited that 113 was included. I had been on computer for a while ;-)

I have now found the correct address. It seems to cover 113,115 & 117.The entry has the following people, but still no George.

Margaret,

I don't know a quick way of finding the info and had to trawl through the entries for Scotland Road on FMP, perhaps you can advise me on the easy way?

This one was easy to find as entries included the numbers!!

Hi Jeanette,

Thank you so much for clarifying an easy mistake.

So am I to asume from your last entry, that the above information is from the 1861 census?
I note you have 34 TOBACCONIST SHOP

I do know that George's occupation before he joined the army, was Tobacconist as was his father ,Thomas.
So can you tell me any names from the 1861 census from 113 Scotland Rd Liverpool?
thank you
Jan

Hi Jan

yes, it is from 1861, there are no names for 113.

Jeanette

Thank you for the information on the 1861 census.
That would be right...lol...just as I was getting closer another thing to throw me off the right track
Thanks for all you help
Jan

And this isn't him?

Deaths Dec 1866
BAMFORD George 31 Liverpool 8b 32


You KNOW he was at Scotland Rd or it's family legend?

Hi Ozibird

I dont know if this is him..guess it is another cert. I will have to buy?
In his discharge papers from the army, his place of address, that he was going to, was 113 Scotland Rd, Liverpool...
I just hope it isn't his death...he was in the Indian mutiny and went through so much..typical me...I was hoping for a happy ending....

Jeanette
Thank you so much for the 1861 census information.
I will need to look into this a little further.

Just hate to think that George went through so much in India and wanted so much to go to his brother James in Oz.
I find it amazing that I can feel so much for someone I hadn't even met, who is related and didn't even know about but know of their history, through an amazing relative who thought to keep these letters from almost 150 years ago...
So sad...I think I will need to buy this cert for the death of George Bamford, so I can finish this part of his life....
Jan

Jeanette
Another big ask...
Can you find the brother John & wife Elizabeth in the 1871 census and maybe 1881 census with their family?
Jan

Hi Jan

can't find the family together in 1871,will keep looking

this may be John's death
