Hi Vera
We must have 'crossed' postings !

Dont think it can be the right couple as I know that the daughter Ann marries and in 1861, MY Ann - who is now a widow, is living with her daughter (who has married a Mr Orton):
I
Ann Orton 34 born Barkby
Sarah Ann Orton 9
Thomas Orton 4

Ann Steel 60 born Leicester - Widow-head of house

Elizabeth Steel 22 born Barkby
Mary Steel 25 born Barkby
Sarah Steel 31 born Barkby

as you can see, we now know that Ann has 3 other daughters:
Elizabeth, Mary & Sarah.

Perhaps we can find these same people in 1851??

Mistranscribed as Sheel in 1851.

Thank you Margaret - this looks quite promising now.

Do you know the street address? & occupations - at all?

Thanks again
Gill

Having looked more carefully, I really think this is MY 'Steele' family in 1851
Ann Sheell 50
Elizabeth Sheell 12
Mary Sheell 15
Sarah Sheell 21
Thos Sheell 19

I have an Ann born c1800 making her 50ish in 1851 - ok so far.
I have an Ann born c1826 making her 25 (if this is the correct family, I guess she would be married & not on this census) and a Sarah c1829 making her 22ish - still ok and a Mary born c1836 making her 15 - looking good! and an Elizabeth c1839 making her 12 - so all fits!

Except -
I have no knowledge of a Thomas at all. (yet).
Do we know anything about Ann's husband at all - who he was? where he was from?

Margaret
Just a thought.........

Does it say on the census , Thomas' relationship to the head?

Is he her son or not?
Gill

Normally I type out the census info from the original. I didn't do it this time, I cheated because the writing was so bad, but here goes:
1851 census
New Bridge St., St. Mary, Leicester
Ann Street, head, widow, 50, laundress
Sarah, dau, 21, dressmaker
Thos., son, 19, labourer
Mary, dau, 15, glove stitcher
Elizabeth, dau, 12, glove stitcher
All born Barkby.

There's another family at the same address. For the first person it says head but it also says son-in-law. (Ann's son-in-law? Did she have a daughter Maria?)

Henry Bottoms, head, son-in-law, 29, blacksmith
Maria, wife, 26
Amelia, dau, 6
Wm., son, 4
Charlotte, dau, 11 months
All born St. Mary, Leicester.

Sorry Gillian, I had to go out...
Regards Vera

Possible 1841?
Brook St., Barkby, Leicestershire
George Ilston, 70, graizor?
Ann Steal, 30, (lodger, crossed out)
Sarah, 11
Thomas, 9
Mary, 7
Elizabeth, 2
All born in county.

Mary's age is wrong but the children are right.
George Ilston (I would say) is head of the household, Ann has been put as lodger which has then been crossed out (as enumerators were supposed to put professions :-))

From the Leicester & Leicestershire Marriage Index

James Steell m Ann Illston 1828 Barkby

Andy

Oh, I think that marriage would be it, Andy!
It explains the name of the person who Ann was living with on the 41 census. It was transcribed Hstor but I read it as Illston.
