I've found Matilda Harrison with her daughter Catherine Martin(b. 1838)n the 1851 census in Stepney ,Middlesex. She must have married a Harrison between 1838 and 1846 when her son Richard Harrison was born.I can't find her anywhere in 1841 or any sign of a husband. In 1861 she has another son Charles born 1851. Maybe she didn't marry again.I'd like to find them in 1841 if someone could please help me.Catherine's father was James Martin.

Searched for

Cath*
born 1838 +/-1
in Stepney in 1841

and this was the first suspicious character.


Name: Matilda Mollin
Age: 30
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1811
Gender: Female

Civil Parish: Stepney
Hundred: Ossulstone (Tower Division)
County/Island: Middlesex
Country: England

Registration district: Stepney

Catherin Mollin 3
Jas Mollin 32
Matilda Mollin 30
Sarah Mollin 2
Chas Tovey 20
Harriot Tovey 22


The name does look very much like Mollin, but I suspect we know better.

I can't decipher Jas's occupation. Bus...? Ah, it could be Brewer.

Thanks so much Kathryn.
I would never have found them as Mollin ! In 1854 at Catherine's marriage he was a Brewer's servant but not said to be deceased.Could be a mistake I suppose. Sorry I took so long to reply but I'd given up for a bit and done important things like picking beans and courgettes. I'll get back to the Martins and Gees now.

You're welcome! You may now send beans and courgettes. ;)

Courgettes ... zucchini, I believe. Picking those should keep you busy til October!
