All living at the Rectory and all servants and listed as unmarried Henry is listed as footman

Switching off for a short time as need a break Maureen

That one isn't him, but it does get a bit confusing as there are 2 Henry Ropers born in Dorset that are butlers! I think that one is the Henry E Roper and mine is the Henry G Roper the G is Griffith/sometimes Griffiths

Henry is not showing with the Cole family in 1861 Maureen

Thanks Maureen Is Kezia still in London with the children? T

Henry in 1871? 30 Rutlands Gardens, Westminster John Cole, head, 81, private gentleman, born St. James, London Martha, wife, 68, born St. James Mary A. Macartam?, visitor, widow, 68, independant, born St. James Henry G. Roper, 42, married, butler, born Weymouth, Dorset Etc, etc, many servants, cooks, maids valets

OOh thanks Margaret, that's him. Do you have access to the 1851 or 1861 for London? I don't have them living together at all but there is never a husband living with her, so it looks promising that she was his wife and not one of the others on the list for the marriage. It's getting so exciting putting the bits together, lot's of skeletons in the cupboard...I think!!

Hi Brenda Yep that is the one I think, it seems to fit in with my theories at the moment, but I would like to find where they both were on 1861 and him on 71 to see if they were definitely married to each other. T

Thanks Glitter Baby, that seems to be her. When I looked on Ancestry there is an entry for him living in London as well. I need to see if she has got a husband living with her on the 1861 and also where he is living please on 1861 and 71, if you have enough time to look for me? Cheers T

1871 possible Name: Kezia Roper Age: 44 Estimated birth year: abt 1827 Relation: Head Gender: Female Where born: Windsor, Berkshire, England Civil parish: Chelsea Ecclesiastical parish: St Saviour County/Island: London Country: England Street address: Occupation: Condition as to marriage: Disability: View image Registration district: Chelsea Sub-registration district: Chelsea, North-East ED, institution, or vessel: 1 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 120 Household Members: Name Age Alma Roper 5 Edwin E Roper 11 Ellen K Roper 17 Henry C Roper 15 Kezia Roper 44 Thomas A Roper 13 Walter Roper 7 William J Roper 19 All children born Chelsea

Can anyone please do a couple of lookups for me on the 1861 and 1871 London Census? Henry G Roper birth abt 1829 Dorset Kezia Roper birth abt 1825 Berkshire Others in house would be helpful as well please, not sure if they were living together as he was a butler and could have been anywhere. Many thanks Tina
