Hi
Can someone please take a look on the 1851 & 1871 census. probably in Dymock.
I am looking to find Hannah Kirby and any siblings/family.
The street address would be very helpful as would occupations please.


This is them on 1891 census.
42 Ann Street, Cilfynydd
Ellen Nash widow Dymock
Hannah Meyrick widow lodger 43 yrs dressmaker Dymock

On the 1861 census
Hannah Kirby 17 yrs dressmaker
Ellen Kirby 7 yrs
parents David/Ann Kirby
Slight difference in age for Hannah on census but that is not unusual as the ennumerators used to go round with a notebook and fill in the census forms later.

Many thanks

HI Reggie

I believe that Hannah was born in Dymock. Her sister Ellen born c1854. It is Ellen that I believe married into the Nash family ( that I am researching)...
I know little about her and nothing about her family - hence tha earlier & later census requirements. ( to confirm or filter out info).

Hi Reggie

Is that ANN Kirby marrying Charles Nash ? It should be Ellen that we are looking for??

sorry Reggie - I have just re-read your message above and note
Charles Nash - Kirby marriage Colesford 1876
Thanks - Gill

ps - On 1871 census
Charles Nash 23
Ellen Nash 20 Wife

perhaps the Coleford marriage is a 'red-herring'?

thats interesting....

So, Hannah Kirby becomes Hannah Poole then Hanna Merryck...

I wonder if Ellen has a similar story. Perhaps Charles Nash was Ellens 2nd marriage?

There is only 5 years between these marriages but if William died then she could have married James. There dos'nt seem to be any children born to the first marriage. ?????????

The only true way to find out is to buy the marriage certs.

Second marriage is reg.dist. Newent and age would be about right so this could be a possible death for first husband William:-
