Haven't found Ambrose yet, but on the 1861 census there's two of his sisters:

Fordingbridge
Henry Mist - Head - 1826 - Godshill
Mary Mist - wife - 1834 - Godshill
+ their son whose name I can't read

Louisa Mary Mist mar. Henry Mist - Fordingbridge 1851


Fordingbridge - 1861
George Chafen - Head - 1836 - Fordingbridge
Hester Chafen - wife - 1838 - Godshill
John Chaefen - son - 1860 - Godshill

Hester Mist married George Chaffen - Fordingbridge - 1858

Can't see him in 1871 yet, but this is where he was four months earlier.

Baptisms - Somerstown, Camden

22nd November 1870

Louisa Mary Mist and Thomas Mist

Parents: Ambros William Mist (labourer) and Harriet Mist

Phillip - Is the 1881 census that you found him on the one in Ashton under Lyme?

If so, bear with me on this one, the family names and ages fit even if all the details don't.



1871 - Somers Town, London

William Mist - head - 43 - labourer - Amersham, Bucks.
Harriet Mist - wife - 38 - Sussex
John Mist - son - 13 - Sussex
Harry Mist - son - 9 - Amersham
Mary Mist - dau. - 7 - Sussex
Thomas Mist - son - 5 mons. - Amersham

And here they are in 1861

Portchester, Hants.

William A. Angel - 1831 - labourer - Frodingbridge
Harriet Angel - wife - 1833 - Eastbourne, Sussex
George J. Angel - son - (unclear 2 years or mons) Eastbourne, Sussex
Harry Angel - son - 2 mons. - Portchester, Hants.

So, they're probably going under Harriet's name.

I see from the 1851 census that Ambrose's mother's maiden name was Angel. I wonder if Harriet is related.

This looks like the explanation:

Ambrose William Angel married Harriet Hearsey - Midhurst - 1861


But I thought Ambrose was baptised in 1832 under the name of Mist.

Need to think about this one for a bit.

Any suggestions anyone?

Okay - so on the 1841 Ambrose Mist is living next to Ambrose Angell - 10 years old.

I seem to have crossed over here somewhere.

I've asked the poster to return with some feedback

Good. I'm glad at least you're there Ann.


There's a Harriet Hearsey baptised 1836 in Easebourne, Sussex which fits in with some of the censuses.

I wonder if she married Ambrose Angel, then he died, so she moved in with Ambrose Mist. The two Ambroses obviously knew each other well, as they lived together.
