Find Ancestors

In 1891 in Herne Hill I have Margaret Krafft who seems to be houskeeper to her sister Agnes Scarr and her husband Robert Scarr. I believe Margaret was born Agnes Nurse on 13/5/1853 in Colchester but she was baptised Krafft (long story!!). I have a death for a Margaret Kraft in poplar in 1902 and before buying the death cert I wonder if anyone can find the said Margaret Kraft in previous censuses. In 1881 she is in the Isle of Wight as Anne Croft b abt 1857 Colchester...so she is elusive Hope this is clear.....Peter

That's her - but is she the one who died in Poplar? Or is the Poplar one someone else? Peter

1901 I think the image is Kraft and is in the right area Name: Margaretta Kratt Age: 44 Estimated birth year: abt 1857 Relation: Wife Spouse's name: John Philipp Gender: Female Where born: Yarmouth Civil parish: Bromley Ecclesiastical parish: St Leonard Bromley Town: London County/Island: London Country: England Street address: Occupation: Condition as to marriage: Education: Employment status: View image Registration district: Poplar Sub-registration district: Bromley ED, institution, or vessel: 44 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 256 Household Members: Name Age Anne King 44 Lilly King 14 John Philipp Kratt 49 Margaretta Kratt 44 So does not solve your problem of the death in Poplar in 1902

Thanks - I would suspect, then, that the Poplar death isn't mine. Oh, well, keep looking, roll on the 1911 census!! Peter
