Find Ancestors

Oh LA,

Trying to forget about this one, finding it very hard to do so though!!!!

Been searching on another thread and the name Eugenia has come up.

What do ya think, sounds better that Boreging!!!

I put another thread out for Linda on this, under Smith, with title, C'MOn Night eyes, what the correct name???

I am fairly certain what the enumerator has written is Borezing but still can't think what the misinterpreted name could be

Hi Jacqueline

I dont have the name of David William Smith (the son) spouses name at present but hope that I can find it in the future.

Could she have been with grandparents? Have found a couple of missing children this way.

Still no clearer with my search for Boreging but theres always hope.

Nudge for Linda

Smith Female Edmonton 3a 389
Smith Female Edmonton 3a 390
Smith Female Fulham 1a 261

Doesn't look any better today!!
I thought it might have been Rosina as there was a birth but had a look when I was in our libray today and she had different parents. I don't have full ancestry access at home.
looking at the Smith born in the right qtr for the age in St Saviour I can't imagine any other name being misheard. Perhaps we should be looking wider.
Can'y find any of the other children in 1901 but may be missing something.

thanks Maureen & Denise

looking at it - the enumerator I am sure has written Bor(e)z comparing it with other known words but can't think what name he has misheard! Time for bed - will look again tomorrow with fresh eyes

Any Ideas??

Defo looks like B----ing.

Hi Linda,
Do you know who your David W. Smith (the son) married.
My nan's father was a David William Smith.
Thank-you, Jackie.

My nan's name was Rosina & her birth cert.say's father David William Smith, I cannot find her living with him in any census though,she would have been 2 years old in 1891 & was born St.Olave,Southwark.
Maybe she wasn't with dad in census if he was so young?
I can't find my nan in ANY census but I know her family were all in Bermondsey,southwark & I have photo's etc. of them??

Hi LA,

I can send a copy as I am still looking at it.

Maureen

Sue - if the age (4 mths) is right he would have been born Oct/Nov/Dec1890 as the census was taken 31-3-1891

Denise - can you pm me with a copy of the original to look at - I love a challenge!

Hi Sue,

Census original states, DAUGHTER.

Have a look, can't even think what it could say other than Boreging.

Hi Linda

The name may be Benjamin. There is a Benjamin Smith b 3/4 1890 St Saviour.

Sue

Hi Linda,

OMG!!!

I have looked at this name on the original census for half hour now, looked through the Smith births for St Saviours Southwark for 1 year period, no sign of anything I could think this name says.

Really need expert eyes on this one.

A VERY VERY strange name, I really think you're right and it's mistranscribed...... but what is the correct name???????

Dee xx

Hi,
This is a very strange name. i can't find any birth registered un der this name for the Dec quarter of 1890 or January quarter of 1891

Teresa

In the census 1891 the following is shown
Eliza Smith age 45 wife of David born Suffolk children
Boreging Smith 4/12, David W Smith 18, John H Smith 16 and Mary Ann Smith 6.

Eliza's maiden name was Salisbury.

I have the 1901 census that just shows Eliza and David.

I have searched under the name Boreging with no luck, could the enumerator have miss heard? If so what could the name be?

Can anyone help me?

Thank You

Linda
