Caroline Hughes 1891 and 1901

Hi,
Can anyone help me if possible find a Caroline Hughes on the 1891 and 1901 census? I have been looking for a family for some time with not much luck and I now think Caroline may have been a widow by 1891. She was born in 1853 in the Bethnal Green/Shoreditch area of London but may be living in either this area or the Marylebone area on the census.

Any help would be great

Thanks

Charlotte

Have you tried FreeBDM to find Caroline's husband's death?

Charlotte

Charlotte Report 6 Aug 2010 10:04

I have tried (husband was Thomas Hughes born 1853) but there is nothing in the Bethnal green area ( he was alive in 1881 but not on the 1891 census). The only possible one is a death in 1891 in the Marylebone area which it could be

I am still trying to find a marriage for them as there is nothing within the possible dates and area that add up.

This them in 1881 ?


Thomas HUGHES Lodger (Head) M Male 28 London, Middlesex, England Salmon Curer
Caroline HUGHES Wife M Female 28 London, Middlesex, England Silkweaver
Thomas HUGHES Son Male 8 London, Middlesex, England Scholar

Dwelling 39 Devonshire St
Census Place London, Middlesex, England
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This may be daughter Clara's birth in which case the certificate will give you Caroline's maiden name making the marriage easier to find.

Births Sep 1882

HUGHES Clara Maria Bethnal Green 1c 225

Don't understand this from 1901..

Name Caroline Hughes
Relation to Head of Family - Head
Condition as to Marriage Widow
Age Last Birthday 48

Householder 2
Name Caroline Hughes
Relation to Head of Family - Mother
Condition as to Marriage Widow

If Hughes is Caroline's married name then how can her mother be Hughes too.?
Unless of course 2 Hughes' married each other.
