  • Help needed to find missing family in Nottingham (1841)

    I've lost a whole family in 1841 - is anyone bored enough to have a look for them? I've tried everything I can think of.

    The parents are Henry Mallet (1776-1846?), baptised in Weeford, near Lichfield, Staffordshire, and Sarah née Cox or Cocks (1778-1859?), born in Nottingham. They were married in Nottingham in 1800.

    Their children are Harriet (1801-1880), Mary (1802-?), Henry (1804-1873), William (1807-1876), John (1809-1882), Jonathan (1811-1814), Elizabeth (1816-1864), Thomas (1817-1885), Sarah Ann (1820-1890) and Christopher Cox Mallet (1822-1890), all born in Nottingham.

    I have a probable death for Henry in 1846 (Sarah was a widow in 1851), and Sarah probably died in 1859 or 1860. Jonathan died in 1814.

    In 1841, Henry jr and William are married and living with their wives and children (Henry in Nottingham and William in Islington). I can't find any of the others.

    In 1851, mother Sarah's visiting a family that I've never heard of in Wollaton, Harriet's in Birmingham, unmarried, Henry jr and William are in the same places as before, John's married and living in Nottingham, Elizabeth, Thomas and Sarah are all unmarried and living together in Long Row, Nottingham, in what I imagine was the family home, and Christopher (who always seems to have used the name Charles) is in London, also unmarried. No sign of Mary.

    In 1841 the family should have been living in Long Row, Nottingham; I would expect to find Henry and Sarah there with Harriet, John, Elizabeth, Thomas, Sarah and Charles, and possibly Mary (I've never found a marriage or death for her, but she was named in a will made in 1841).

    According to various trade directories, Henry Mallet, saddler, was in Long Row in 1825, and the firm Hardy & Mallet is listed there in 1825 and 1840.

    Misses Elizabeth and Sarah Mallet, milliners and lace dealers, are listed at 10 Long Row in an 1858 trade directory, so I assume this was the address of the house.

    In the 1851 census, the address of Thomas, Elizabeth and Sarah is just given as Long Row, in St. Mary's, Sherwood, district 2.

    I've gone through the whole of districts 2 and 3 in 1841 without finding them. I've found one of their 1851 neighbours, but they aren't nearby.

    According to the Ancestry blurb about the 1841 database, there are no missing pages for Nottingham, but I'm beginning to wonder if there are.

    Can anyone think of anything I've missed?

      No! How did I manage to miss that one? I'd just trawled through districts 2 and 3 and was about to try district 1, which is where you found them.

      Thanks very much

      Now all I need to do is find the other children - that leaves Harriet, Mary, John, Thomas and Charles still unaccounted for.

        I've now found Harriet, living in Edgbaston with her aunt Sarah and going by the name of Hannah (probably a mistake by the enumerator).
