Hi
Can someone help me find more information on this family.
Will start with the most recent information and work backwards
John Robert Howard born 1866 in Rotherhithe. Parents John Howard and Mary Eliza Mack.
John and Mary Mack marry in 1862 in Rotherhithe. Father of John is listed as William and occupation as Cabinet maker.
1861 census shows John living in Rotherhithe with William (carpenter) aged 56 born Ipswich , Sarah aged 53 born Ipswich and listed as deaf.
In 1851, again in Rotherhithe I have found William who is as "superannuate police officer" which worries me. Aged 47 born Ipswich. Sarah aged 43 born Ipswich. John aged 14 born Bemondsey. Robert aged 11 born Bermondsey. Charlotte aged 9 born Bermondsey. Lucy aged 5 born Bermondsey.
In 1841, the family are still in Rotherhithe (subscribed as Minard). Williams occupation is shipwright. In addition to the children in 1851 is also Sarah aged 12
So my questions are: is this actually them in 1851. everything other than Williams occupation matches, however I am having issues finding Sarah's maiden name. I have searched GRO and used Lucy and Charlotte as searches, but neither have the same mothers name. I then also searched for the boys and still no matching surname.
Unless William has a habit of marrying only women called Sarah born in Ipswich im a bit stumped. I also looked at names where perhaps Lucy and Charlotte were middle names, and still nothing seems to fit
