umm should be listed like you say then!?

Hi Moonstar

1841 census, June 6th

do you mean his death was registered in the Sept Q? what time of year were the census reports carried out then? :-)

Richard Drew (father) should be on the 1841 too, his birth was registered in the Sept Q

Can't see him though?

Thank u both. The address stated on the above census is Boar Street, St Helen, Abingdon. Boar Street changed name to Bath Street and this leads onto to Ock Street when many of he Drew family lived so it would make sense Elizabeth and Martha were living there. Also Abingdon workhouse was on Oxford Road so agree that they weren't living in the workhouse :-)

I agree Potty - I think the address was just an ordinary dwelling.

I don't think the 1841 is for the workhouse - on the image there are the usual diagonal lines indicating families and the double lines indication houses. If this page was for a workhouse, I would expect all the men to be listed together and the same for the women and children.

I can't see Martha on 1851 but this 'may' be her?

Thank you everso. I take it this address was a workhouse, poor lady. Is it possible to trace Martha Drew/e 1821 and what looks like her child in any further census reports?
:-)

This might be her?

possible child still living at home is Martha Drew born 1821 Abingdon, Berkshire. On some reports the name is also spelt Drewe :-)

Sorry - can't see any sign of them on 1841.

Hi I know I have marked this answered (unsure if I can change this status) but is anyone free to see if they can find Elizabeth Drew nee Hanks on the 1841 census seeing as she didn't pass away until 1850. Believe she would be living in Berkshire still and probably in Abingdon. She was born 1784 in South Hinksey, Berkshire.
Also as her husband Richard didn't pass away until late 1841 he may be there also
Many thanks

Thank u

Ricochet's correct re lack of parental info.

If you want to check an example d.cert or b or m, there's e.g.s near the end at:

According to an extensive tree at Ancestry, this is his fathers death.

The certificate will give you the informant which may be his son



Deaths Sep 1841

DREW Richard Wallingford 6 148

brilliant idea thank u

If you think the mother died in 1850, her death cert might prove useful.

It would name her husband, and the informant could possibly be her son

thanks all this has def given me the confidence to move on and agree a trip to the records office is needed :-)
