Find Ancestors

thank you very much Rose.
Val

I have to go now. I'll fill in the occupations later.

Rose

That's what I was thinking.

I can't find any of them on the passenger lists.

Rose

Eliza's husband Claude John Tone Bell died March quarter 1894 in Edmonton, Essex district so it seems strange that she emigrated in 1892 and stated that she was a widow.
Val

Ah, so Thomas William also emigrated to Minneapolis. I wonder if Edith Julia went out there as well? Thank you so much for all your investigation, I really appreciate it. Do the censuses give the occupations of residents?

Sorry Rose, I realise what you mean by posting the 1881 census results. (It's late and I'm tired!)
I couldn't find a death for Thomas or Julia Ann.
Thank you for the middle names and the marriage info.
Val

Thank you for looking Rose. I already have them on the 1881 census, but can't find any of them on the 1891 or 1901 censuses.
Maybe they emigrated somewhere!!

Trying to find Thomas Allen and his family on 1891 census. They were in Knebworth, Lincolnshire on the 1881 census. Thomas was born in Spalding, Lincs c1837, His wife, Julia Ann was born in Hatfield, Herts c1836. Daughter Elizabeth C Allen was born in Chingford, Essex c1864. Son Thomas William Allen was born c1866 in Chingford, Essex and daughter Edith J was born c1870 in Little Berkhamstead, Herts.
I have also looked on the 1901 census and was unable to find any of them on there.
