1841 England Census
Name: Richard Greenaway
Age: 14
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1827
Gender: Male
Where born: Kent, England

Civil Parish: Bromley
Hundred: Bromley and Beckenham
County/Island: Kent
Country: England

Street address: Town

Occupation: View Image

Registration district: Bromley
Sub registration district: Bromley
Neighbors: View others on page
Household Members: Name Age
Sarah Warren 80 - independent
Thomas Greenaway 49 - gardener; not born in county
Sophia Greenaway 30
Eliza Greenaway 20
Richard Greenaway 14
Robert Greenaway 5
Harriet Greenaway 2
Sophia Greenaway 1


All Greenaways born in county except Thomas.

Unfortunately 1841 doesn't show relationships so unsure if Sophia is a wife or daughter. Possibly 2nd wife & mother of younger children.


Sarah Warren is placed before the Greenaways but seems to be separate. Bit difficult as writing is faint.
