CHARLES, ANN 85
GRO Reference: 1852 M Quarter in PONTY POOL Volume 11A Page 91

I keep coming back to 1841

George Street, St Woollos, Newport, Monmouthshire, Wales

Ann Charles Female 74 1767 Monmouthshire, Wales
Mary Charles Female 20 1821 Monmouthshire, Wales
Catharine Curtis Female 9 1832 -
Ann Curtis Female 5 1836 -
William Curtis Male 1 1840 Monmouthshire, Wales

...............and wondering whether the 'mother' in 1851 is actually mother-in-law, and wrongly recorded with surname 'Curtis'

1851 address
South Market Street, St Woollos, Newport, Monmouthshire, Wales

William was born in Middlesex - his wife was born in Monmouthshire, as was the 'mother'

Clutching at straws, I know, but sometimes they're all we have ;-) ;-)

there is this as well but no age given

not much help

The Registers Of Wages And Effects Of Deceased Seamen, 1852-1889 posted by Maddie above, is for a 19 year old, supposedly picked up in Belize and allowed to work his passage home on board the Martha Pope.
He died and was found to have been murdered.

Various papers of the time.
eg

Mr. Walthew resumed inquest on the body of William Curtis, aged 19, late steward on board the ship Martha Pope, which recently arrived in the West India Docks from Belize, Honduras, the deceased having died coming the Thames. Dr. Giles
31 December 1862 - Worcestershire Chronicle - Worcester, Worcestershire, England

No problem ;-)

ErikaH thanks I misread your reply, my apologies.

The one who died was the one whose birth was registered, meaning that it WASN’T the one in your tree. That was the point I was making

ErikaH, thanks but Ebenezer is on the 1851 census for St. Woollos, Newport Monmouthshire age 9 with his family, just can't find him afterwards.

Ebenezer b. Whitechapel died as per info posted

Many thanks for all your replies, and my sincere apologies for the long delay in getting back to you all.
Maddie thank you for finding Catherine as a servant in London, and also for finding Catherine 9 Ann 5 and William 1 on the 1841 census without their parents, I wonder where they were?
Shirley I did see the Ebenezer Curtis with mmn Colls and did wonder if this was mine? the bapt of Wm. Curtis b.1841 is my gt. g/father.
Maddie thank you also for the info on Wm. b.1806 I didn't have his actual birth date or date of death, much appreciated.
Thank you also greyghost and ErikaH for searching for information for me it's very much appreciated

ErikaH I've looked on findmypast, Ancestry, family search, I'm really after William Curtis wife maiden name, thought if I could find the marriage! I'm stumped on this one. Thanks.
