Find Ancestors

I have him aged 6 in 1861 with his aunt (Elizabeth Monger nee Digby). He was born Kingston, Surrey. Can't find him in 1881. I want to locate him in 1871 (hopefully with parents so that I can try and find Elizabeth with her brother (James' father I presume)and thence THEIR parents, hopefully in 1841. (Elizabeth b Sherbourne 1823) Thanks

Don't think so as place of birth wrong...... Peter

aha - so she has a younger brother named Thomas!! 1861 here I come!! Peter

This could be Thomas Digby in 1841.. Oliver Digby abt 1829 Hampshire, England Monk Sherborne Hampshire Thomas Digby abt 1826 Hampshire, England Monk Sherborne Hampshire David Monyer abt 1826 Hampshire, England Monk Sherborne Hampshire Fredric Monyer abt 1831 Hampshire, England Monk Sherborne Hampshire Hannah Stamp abt 1821 Hampshire, England Monk Sherborne Hampshire George Woods abt 1816 Hampshire, England Monk Sherborne Hampshire Source information: HO107/386/4 Registration district: Basingstoke Sub-registration district: Bramley ED, institution, or vessel: 16 Folio: 13 Page: 2 (click to see others on page) Line number: 1 GSU Number: 288792 Georgina.

Maureen

Have Thomas in 1861 in Acton with wife Elizabeth and sons Thomas 6 and George 4 Suggests James is not theirs as he is same age as Thomas - will look for Oliver in 61 next! Interesting that Mongers (assume mis transcribed) are with them in 1841 - must see who these two are! Peter

I keep coming back to this entry as Mitcham is not far from Kingston 1881 Name: James Henry Digby Age: 22 Estimated birth year: abt 1859 Gender: Male Where Born: Mitcham, Surrey, England Civil parish: Vessels County/Island: Dorset Country: England Street address: 'Ranger' Occupation: Signalman 2nd Class Source information: RG11/2108 Registration district: Weymouth Sub registration district: Portland ED, institution, or vessel: Ranger Folio: 95 Page: -7 GSU Number: 1341509 Maureen

This is who we want 1861 census >>>>>>James Digby abt 1855 Kingston, Surrey, England Nephew Acton Middlesex View Record Alfred Monger abt 1858 East Acton, Middlesex, England Son Acton Middlesex View Record Alice Monger abt 1850 East Acton, Middlesex, England Daughter Acton Middlesex View Record Charles Monger abt 1848 East Acton, Middlesex, England Son Acton Middlesex View Record Daniel Monger abt 1860 East Acton, Middlesex, England Son Acton Middlesex View Record Elizabeth Monger abt 1821 Sherbourne, Hampshire, England Wife Acton Middlesex View Record Henry Monger abt 1820 Sherbourne, Hampshire, England Head Acton Middlesex View Record Henry Monger abt 1853 East Acton, Middlesex, England Son Acton Middlesex View Record Thomas Monger abt 1845 East Acton, Middlesex, England Son Acton Middlesex View Record William Monger abt 1856 East Acton, Middlesex, England Son Acton Middlesex

Can't find Oliver in 61..... Neither of the Mongers is on my tree (YET!!) Hannah Stamp and Geo Woods are complete strangers..... Peter

Following up on James b Kingston, Surrey - there are only two Digbys in Kingston in 1861 - Samuel 48 and wife Louisa 50, both born Hampton. Living London Rd Hampton, Farmer/labourer - the plot thickens Peter

In 1871 there is only this one Caroline Digby abt 1856 Mitcham, Surrey, England Servant Norbiton Norbiton civil registration district covers Kingston Maureen

Can't find a birth for James, but there is a marriage in Mar Q 1879 in Kingston which could be him - to either Harriet Wells or Annie Moran (other male on the page is Sydney Vine) - cant find any of them in 1881.....WASN't HARRIET - she married Vines. Peter

OK then - let's try a different approach (please) Elizabeth Digby was b 1823 Monk Sherbourne and Married Henry Monger in 1843 Where is she in 1841? Peter

1841 Name: Elizabeth Digby Age: 20 Estimated birth year: abt 1821 Civil parish: Bethnal Green Hundred: Ossulstone (Tower Division) County/Island: Middlesex Country: England Source information: HO107/692/8 Registration district: Bethnal Green Sub-registration district: Green ED, institution, or vessel: 21 Folio: 45 Page: 19 Line number: 11 GSU Number: 438808 Joseph Digby abt 1816 Best match on 1841 as Elizabeth and Joseph not born in county. Husband and wife or brother and sister ? Maureen Update Think I will have to rule this one out as there is a couple with similar ages on 1851. Maureen

Thanks anyway - looks as though Elizabeth is going to be elusive - but she must be somewhere - will have to think of another line of attack. Could someone find Henry Monger for me in 41 - I wonder if she is with him!! Peter

1841 Name: Henry Monger Age: 20 Estimated birth year: abt 1821 Gender: Male Where born: Surrey, England Civil parish: St Mary Magdalen Bermondsey Hundred: Brixton (Eastern Division) County/Island: Surrey Country: England Source information: HO107/1047/1 Registration district: St Mary Magdalen Bermondsey Sub-registration district: Leather Market ED, institution, or vessel: 2 Folio: 39 Page: 27 Line number: 2 GSU Number: 474649 Mary Monger abt 1796 Surrey, England Ann Monger abt 1826 Surrey, England Emma Monger abt 1827 Surrey, England Fanny Monger abt 1830 Surrey, England John Monger abt 1826 Surrey, England William Monger abt 1821 Surrey, England Nearest match on age but born in county Maureen
