Find Ancestors

I have an Elizabeth Court B1834 Folkestone, Kent she was with parents William & Ann in 1841 but nothing until 1901 when I found her married to Edward H Dale B1831 Folkestone. Her sister Susanna was living with them that is how I found them. They have a daughter Susanna A B1872. Any possibility of a follow through from 1841 Census please.
Regards
Julia

I have just found 1881 Census living Harbour Street, Folkestone. Also the marriage in 1859 Albert Henry Dale B1831 Folkestone.
I think just an 1871 & 1891 Census would help.
Sorry to mess you around

Thank you Ivy, just what I wanted but I was wondering if you could possibly look up 1841 Census for me for Edward Dale, I have just come up with something and that would sort it out, it is to do with his mother. maybe Margaret.

Radnor St, Folkestone; all born Kent; Edward a baker

Thankyou Ivy, sorry this has taken a while but I have been out and busy cooking, you know what it is like at christmas time.
You have made my day, what I was interested in was whether Margaret Dale was Edwards mother and it has turned out so.
There is one other thing though I notice a Susanna was not on the Census and might be on 1851/1861, any help on that please.
I really appreciate your help.

Hi Julia

I'll have a look.

In passing, there is this much older Susannah, in Maidstone area rather than Folkestone.

Name: Susannah Court
Age: 60
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1781
Gender: Female
Where born: Kent, England

Civil Parish: Maidstone
Hundred: Maidstone Borough
County/Island: Kent
Country: England

Registration district: Maidstone
Sub-registration district: East Maidstone

Household Members:
Name Age
Joseph Court 25
Mary Court 20
Susannah Court 60

1851 offers 4 people names Susannah Court (using sus*h [edited - bad choice, should have used sus*n*] court kent ):

as above, b 1781;
b 1821 born and living in Folkestone, mother Margaret Court, husband Thomas Harts
(married Thomas Hart 1844 per Free BMD);
b 1844 in Blean, to William and Hannah living in St Stephen Canterbury;

and this one:

Name: Susannah Court
Age: 14
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1837
Relation: Daughter
Father's Name: William
Gender: Female
Where born: Folkestone, Kent, England

Civil Parish: Folkestone
County/Island: Kent
Country: England

Registration district: Elham
Sub-registration district: Folkestone
ED, institution, or vessel: 2g
Dover Street

Household schedule number: 100
Household Members:
Name Age
Richard Court 21 unm Victualler's Clerk
Stephen Court 23 unm Sailmaker
Susannah Court 14 Scholar
William Court 56 Head, widower, Victualler and Coal Merchant
Susannah Jeffery 14 House Servant

All b Folkestone

Class: HO107; Piece: 1633; Folio: 183; Page: 24; GSU roll: 193536

The 1861 on the same criteria has
-the same three first listed above for 1851 (i.e. b 1781, 1821 and 1844)
-two children b 1857 (see wife below) and 1860 in Folkestone to Stephen and Mary Ann
-two wives (poss m since 1851 census), being:
b 1812 Woolton, m to William, mother of Susannah b 1857, living in Sibertswold; and
b 1835 Boughton m to John, living in Goodnestone.

Will look further

For my ref:

In 1891, Susannah A Court, aged 55 (b approx 1836 in Folkestone), widow, is living on own means in Folkestone (in a separate three room apartment at Mary Fisher's lodging house at 62 Cheriton Road), and these details (other than the living accommodation) match the 64 yr old visitor in 1901 to Edward Dale's household.

Returning to the 1851-1861 period, Free BMD offers three groups of marriages where a Court married in the same district and quarter as a Susannah:

Surname First name(s) District Vol Page
Marriages Mar 1857 (98%)
COURT Stephen Elham 2a 807
COURT Susanna Alice Elham 2a 807
Earl Ann Romney Marsh 2a 807 (in italics on Free BMD, indicating poss error)
Marriott Lucy Elham 2a 807
SEAL James Elham 2a 807;

Marriages Dec 1856
Court John Faversham 2a 1055
Eve Susanna Faversham 2a 1055
Noble Elizabeth Ann Faversham 2a 1055; and

Marriages Jun 1852
Bristow Susanna Thanet 2a 831
Court Stephen Thanet 2a 831

This is the Stephen/Susannah household in 1861, both b Folkestone:

Name: Stephen Court
Age: 34
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1827
Relation: Head
Spouse's Name: Susanna
Gender: Male
Where born: Folkestone, Kent, England

Milldene, 8 Raglan Vil

Household schedule number: 69
Household Members:

(I see that Ozibird, that wise bird, had found this for you on one of your other threads)

For completeness, here is the Stephen and Mary Ann household in 1861:

Name: Stephen Court
Age: 33
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1828
Relation: Head
Spouse's Name: Mary Ann
Gender: Male
Where born: Folkestone, Kent, England

Household Members:
Name Age
Edwd Court 5
Mary Ann Court 32
Stephen Court 33 Sailmaker and greengrocer
Stephen Court 6
Susannah Court 7 Mo
Margaret Dale 17

OK, now that I have realised (See edited posting above) that I should also be looking for Sus*n*, this then does pick up all the expected people:

the three unmarried sisters from Acrise (Susannah, Elizabeth and Agnes all born around 1830 ish)

the wife of William b abt 1814 in Wootton living in Sibertswold

and more entries for the Susannah A Court you are looking for:

Age: 5
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1836
Gender: Female
Where born: Kent, England
