I am still trying to find my nan on the 1901 census, only found a couple with her name but not the right one, I have her registration and birth certificate, but nothing from then on. her name was isabel emily rixon bn 1887 sandwich street, st pancras. her mum was lizzie rixon nee clark, her dad was george rixon, he was a farrier. I think she was perhaps in service when the 1901 census was taken, maybe in chiswick. would like to know if both or either parents originated from ireland. I have been looking on the free bit on ancestry with no luck any help appreciated. thanks jean.

Have another go on Ancestry - I think that the family are on as Nixon not Rixon!

Can't find this family on 1891 census. Also tried Nixon, but nothing. Do you know if George and Lizzie had any other children and when they were born? Why do you think they may have come from Ireland? nell

They are definitely on as Nixon for 1901 but unfortunately I am not clever enough on pooters to know how to copy the information onto here!

George Nixon abt 1862 Hedgerley, Buckinghamshire, England Head St Marylebone London Isabel E Nixon abt 1888 London, England Niece St Marylebone London Lizzie Nixon abt 1856 Mouddore, Kent, England Son-in-law St Marylebone London Louisa R Nixon abt 1886 London, England Niece St Marylebone London They are living at 60 Earl Street, Marylebone and George is a farrier. Yes the image does say that Lizzie is the son-in-law and Isobel and Louisa are nieces. There is also another Nixon at the same address. I'll trya nd get the details on.

Ok this is the real Head of the household. John Cox abt 1864 Birmingham Visitor St Marylebone London Frederick Nixon abt 1859 Longleynon, Buckinghamshire, England Head St Marylebone London

nell, isabel had a sister rose, I think 2yrs younger than her, my uncle said yrs back that one or other of the rixons came from ireland. everyone else, thanks for the help.

nell, isabel is on the fbmd site as isabel emily rixon born st pancras 1887

Jean This could be sister Rose, fits in with above census info: Name: RIXON, Louisa Rose Record Type: Births Quarter: March Year: 1886 District: Pancras (1837-1901) County: London Middlesex Volume: 1b Page: 53 According to the census info theparents were both born in England. I'll see what else I can find. nell

This looks like Frederick (presumably George's brother) Name: Rixon, Frederick Record Type: Births Quarter: September Year: 1859 District: Henley County: BuckinghamsBerkshire Oxfordshi Volume: 3a Page: 460 Here's George: Name: RIXON, George Record Type: Births Quarter: March Year: 1862 District: Eton County: Buckinghamshire Volume: 3a Page: 361 Eton reg district includes: Sub-districts : Burnham; Eton; Iver. GRO volumes : VI (1837-51); 3a (1852-1930). Boveney, Burnham, Datchet, Denham, Dorney, Eton, Eton Wick, Farnham Royal, Fulmer, Gerrard's Cross, Hedgerley, Hedgerley Dean, Hitcham, Horton, Iver, Langley Marish, Slough, Stoke in Slough, Stoke Poges, Taplow, Upton cum Chalvey, Wexham, Wyrardisbury (Wraysbury). Wondering if the Fred birthplace on the census is meant to be Langley Marish, in which case the ref I quoted earlier is the wrong one. nell

hi nell, thanks a lot for your help, I just went on ancestry, I can find her on bmd section, but after that nothing, she is definatly on it as isabel emily rixon. my uncle must have got mixed up with the grandfathers family as the other granma came from cork.

Lizzie's birthplace on census as Mouddore must be wrong. Can't find a Lizzie or Elizabeth Clark on Ancestry for 1856, but there is Name: Clark, Eliza Record Type: Births Quarter: June Year: 1856 District: Malling County: Kent Volume: 2a Page: 323 nell

Possible marriage: Name: Rixon, George Record Type: Marriages Quarter: December Year: 1884 District: Marylebone (1837-1901) County: London Middlesex Volume: 1a Page: 998 Unfortunately other people on the page are Day, Rose and KEEVIL, Frank, so George's bride is missing, unless this George married Rose Day of course. nell

There's also this one Name: Rixon, George Record Type: Marriages Quarter: June Year: 1886 District: Kensington County: Greater London London Middlesex Volume: 1a Page: 220 But again, a bride is missing, other people on the page are Charlotte Keen & George Wood. nell

hi nell, just been speaking to my mum, she remembers visiting relatives in kent when she was younger so maybe this is the one Ive been looking for. .

Could this be Frederick in 1891 Rixon, Frederick abt 1859 Princes Risborough, Buckinghamshire, England Head St Marylebone London Rixon, Harriet abt 1890 Marylebone Daughter St Marylebone London Rixon, Isabel abt 1861 Maidstone, Kent, England Wife St Marylebone London Rixon, Livingstone abt 1865 Hedgerley, Buckinghamshire, England Brother St Marylebone London Rixon, Nellie abt 1888 Marylebone, London, England Daughter St Marylebone London They are living at 57 Earl Street, Marylebone and Frederick gives his occupation as Whitesmith

No access to image, but do you think that Mouddore might be Maidstone?

1871 census: Lizzie Clark abt 1856 Maidstone, Kent, England relationship location Kent

Hi Brenda I think it probably is. The loop on the G in Hedgerley has been taken for the stick of the D in Mouddore. I'm still not having any luck for the 1891 with that though!

Brenda You know what they say about 2 heads being better than one? What do you think of this?
