I've looked till I'm blue in the face but still can't find this family in 1891 Census

This is them in the 1901 Census living in Plumstead
RG13; Piece: 573; Folio: 65; Page: 55.

Alfred Dewberry abt 1859 Marylebone, London, England
Emily Dewberry abt 1863 Walworth, London, England
Alfred Dewberry abt 1885 St Pancras, London, England
Emily Dewberry abt 1887 Marylebone, London, England

I've tried various spellings of Dewberry but still nothing.

Can any of you find my missing Dewberry's

Many thanks

Alfred Bene is a deaf & dumb uphosterer. Alfred Dewberry is a labourer at the arsenal with no sign of being deaf & dumb. So I don't think so, but isn't it frustrating when you can't find them & know they should be there?

Ozi.

Also Alfred Bone, deaf & dumb upholsterer, is on the 1901 census.

Mummy Bear

Mummy Bear Report 19 May 2008 08:12

Thanks to everyone

No Alfred Bone isn't the same person

Yes, they should be there - I have nothing to suggest they went overseas, the children born in London; Alfred & Emily (senior) married in London; the 1901 census has them living in Plumstead (SE London). But they’re nowhere to be found in the 1891 census - yes very frustrating.

Does anyone have any stats on % of missing info from 1891 census etc?

Many thanks

Morning MB
Do you know where Emily or Alfred's parents are living on the 1891 ?
Maybe they are with them
Still looking

Ummm - good question

Emily - she's of Prussian origan - Schmidt but they changed to Smith - so her marriage cert is Smith. I don't know where her parents were in 1891 - another mystery

Alfred - both his parents were dead

As a matter of interest; Alfreds mother Elizabeth is in the
1851 census as Dewbery
1861 as Dewling
1871 as Devenhay

I only found the 61 and 71 entries as its the address where Alfred was born Upper Charlton Street, Marylebone

The 1881 is not him - I know where he was in 1881 he was in Egypt he bought his way out of the army to marry Emily.

Yes that's their marriage in 1883 - I have the cert

Its specifically the 1891 census I'm interested in

Many thanks
