well done and dusted.
Thank you so much, appreciation plus xox



considered SOLVED

Just out of my own curiosity (!), here's the family in 1851

1851 Census

Name: Eleanor Lyon
Age: 56
Estimated birth year: abt 1795
Relation: Head
Gender: F (Female)
Where born: Nabottle, Northamptonshire, England

Civil Parish: Cranford St Andrew
County/Island: Northamptonshire
Country: England

Registration district: Kettering
Sub-registration district: Kettering

Eleanor Lyon 56 Widow, Victualler & Grocer
Alice Lyon 21 At Home
Charles Lyon 17 Blacksmith
John Lyon 14 At Home
Caroline Lyon 12 At Home
Sarah Lyon 7


no street address given

This was on p. 2 .... the only address given is on p. 1, against the first house there, and that was Rectory House

Then looking at the descripiton of the enumeration distrcit 3b, it says:-

The whole of the 2 parishes of Cranfords St John and Cranfords St Andrew - including Abbott's Lodge, Manor Farm Lodge, Five Willow Lodge, London Ends, Barracks Yards, and village of Crandfords St John; Rectory House, Cranfords Hall, Workers's (??sp) Lodge, Sir George Robinson's Lodge, Glebe Farm Lodge, Duck Ends, and the village of Cranfords St Andrew

No other house name appears against any of the apparently independent hosueholds until p. 6, when Dairy House is shown with one occupant (occupation Dairy Woman.


The very next named house is that of Sir George Robinson also on p. 6 ................... liivng at Cranford Hall, as Rector, Bart, Landed Proprietor farming 485 acres, employing 42 Agricultural labourers.





so I would assume that the village is actually so small that the "plebs" didn't get either street addresses, house names, or maybe even street names!!!

No I dont have him in 1851

He was buried 19 February 1846 at Cranford St Andrew

Francis the son came to Brisbane Aust in 1850

But I do have Eleanor (born Nobottle) who at this census has the occupation of Victuallar and grocer (the word 'Blacksmith ' is crossed out
Wife Eleanor died 1869
cant find an address.

If you are looking at the census's on Genes you can't go to the previous page only on FMP or ancestry that can be done

Hi

I don't always turn off the computer when we have lightening, although I know that I should!


we had very heavy rain today!

Have you found him on the 1851 Census?

I don't know whether a blacksmith would be considered a servant of the Lord of the Manor.

Thanks for your help

How do I use your source citation to browse the pages you refer to.

that is
how do I get from one page to the next, to look at other families in Rectory Hill?

Hi Sylvia
What a wild storm we had and it lasted four hours. we had 37mm rain here and the farm had 50mm. I always turn my PC off when there is lightening around.

I looked on Maps,
There is no Rectory Street or Road.

However there is a Rectory Hill, and the road is somewhat circular.
the words 'Rectory Hill' is written along the road.

So that's why, its like a little suburb, near Dairy Farm Guest House.
Which seems to be part of the Cranford Hall Estate.

My guess is all these people were servants of the Lord of the Manor, a Mr Robinson.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Next time I will look at maps first,
Here I learn.

I agree with jax


either that (the street name) or the district


certainly not THE Rectory with so many people living in it!!



sylvia

Oh

I will go look to see if there is still a Rectory street in Cranford St Andrew.

I think it could just be the street name

jax

So where am I going with this?

Does Rectory actually mean the home

or is it a district such as Rectory for example?

The ref for the Lyon h/h is:
Source Citation: Class: HO107; Piece 803; Book: 8; Enumeration District: 8; Folio: 4; Page: 19;

There's no Rectory mentioned on the image - the last address mentioned is 3 pages earlier, and has 2 h/h's (Ancestry says they're cmbined into 1).


1841 England Census
Civil Parish: St John Cranford
Hundred: Huxloe
County/Island: Northamptonshire
Country: England
Street address: Rectory
Registration district: Kettering
Sub-registration district: Kettering

Margaret Wigles 24

Mary Davys 51
Henry Stapley 22 M.S.

Interesting

...... ancestry doesn't show Rectory at all!

I don't actually see Rectory written anywhere? I just see Cranford St Andrew written across the top of the page ...... meaning the parish where all the people were living.


Many English and Welsh villages in the 1841 Census (and even the 1851) did not actually have a street address ...... they were too small


Many of the 1841 censuses do not show street names for the smaller villages, and it may be that the streets were not named.



I'm not sure if you are aware that ages of people over the age of 15 were supposed to be rounded down to nearest 5 on the 1841? Not all enumerators did it, just to make life confusing for us! But this one did .............. William didn't really have triplets age 20!


All that means is that Ann, Francis and Elizabeth were between the ages of 20 and 24.



sylvia

Wm Lyon born 1791 died 1846
