Find Ancestors

Hi. i have just found my ancestor, Ruth Fone on the 1881 census. she is living in Princes st, Taunton,Somerset. She is described as a nurse. i know she dies in Dec qtr 1891 so i was wondering if someone could check the 1891 census to see if it mentions her still as i didn`t expect her to have that occupation.
Thanks very much
nick

I can't see either her or Edward.

I found an Edward but his already with another wife and kids in 1891 ?

I think edward lived for quite some time after 1891 so maybe they are just not on the census which is a shame but thanks for looking anyway. There may have been a problem with the spelling of the name
nick

No its ok checked that its a differnt Edward Fone in 1891

Hi Robin7. if he is Edward Fone aged about 55 born in Crewkerne and living in Taunton then it probably is him. could you tell me the details just in case?
nick

ok
nick

I will put them here but their are loads of kids so i dont think its your Edward.

If his Widowed and on his own he could well be a lodger with another family Census ?

I don`t thinks it`s him. looks like they didn`t appear on the 1891 census for some reason but thank you to everybody who has had a look for me
cheers

On Ancestry they have him and Ruth as Fare then its been corrected to Fone so maybe he is around but they have got his name wrong.

the trouble is i don`t know when the census was taken, before or after Ruths death. i will get her death certificate and see what that says.Would it be worth checking to see if you can find her son Seymour? if not, it`s not a problem and thanks for your help
nick

No i can not see Seymour either its very odd as even if Ruth has passed where are Edward and Seymour?. I would order death cert as it may also say where she was living when she died if it was at home. and Edward may of signed death cert.

Thanks for your help. I appreciate it
nick

I can't see a trace of any of them. I agree, you have to get the death cert.
Jan

No problem Nick sorry i couldnt be of more help.


Rob

Not that it helps,because I can't find a trace of him in 1891 (although he pops up nicely in 1901),but her son's name seems to have been Simeon Bishop. (I think!!!)
