Louisa Report 6 May 2008 11:32

Trying to find my ggg grandfather on the census please (i dont have full access at the moment!)

Frederick Henry Whiteman (born 1832, Holborn), father was George Whiteman (1794, Holborn) and mother was Jane (circa 1800). I know he had at least 2 sisters; Eliza (1821) and Jane Mary Ann (1823) and 1 brother; John (unknown). but i believe there were more and i don't know their names.

i've been told that on the 1861 census they are living in Islington with their father, but 10 years later have moved to East London and their younger brethers and sisters are in the workhouse, no idea which one!

I've also been told that their father, George, then starts a second family, and when John got married he showed his father as "deceased" which he was not. So some kind of family rift!

Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks

Louisa

I see that in 2008 you were looking for Frederick Henry (b 1832) on the census. I can help if you haven't found him yet, just let me know.

I'm descended from his son John
