Also Mel, where did you find the 1891 census with them on?? I have not found this to date, would be really interested to view it, I could only find 1871, 81, 1901 and 1911 which puzzled me!

Josephine Report 7 Mar 2010 11:38

Yes indeed it was!

I would like to find out if the lilly family have any decendants as I don't belive Catherine or Mary Anne did, my grandafther referred to them as Maiden Aunts and he lived with them for some time.

I am trying to piece together where my grandfather lived with them!

Thank you again all

Was that William chard??

Aha!!!!!!! On the 1891 census Catherine Lilly is a widow living next door to Ellen Chard a widow with two children, William H 1 year and Edward F 2 month.

Will go and get that census for you.

Hi,

The last census he appears in is 1901:

Household LILLY, Eli J 1865 36 M Keynsham Somersetshire

I know from looking at the birth register that he was born in Dec 1864. This is the last I can find of him and I cannot find a death for him?!

This is all I know about him. His family adopted my great grandfather.

Hi,

I cannot find a death registration for Eli J Lilly born to Catherine Lilly (1838, don't know maiden name). He disappears from the census aswell in 1891 and then again in 1911??

Can anyone shed any light on this?! Thank you in advance!
