    Portsmouth 1861 Census

    Class: RG9; Piece: 640; Folio: 178; Page: 20; GSU roll: 542676


    House number 9 - the White's and Walker's.

    It's 'something' STREET

    I'm finding it tricky to read. Thank you.

        Fitzroy Street? that's my opinion

        If you go on a couple of pages to No 13 its a bit clearer

          Thank you all. I did flick back a couple of pages, but couldn't see a clearer image.

          I have another one - please can I trouble you all for a considered opinion :-


          1871 Census

          Class: RG10; Piece: 1129; Folio: 135; Page: 25; GSU roll: 827776.

          Again, please can I ask what the street is - I've look at the Enumerator listing (nothing on that.........apart from who wasnt there on the night !).

          Also - looking at James White's line - he shows as a Rigger.........any idea on what ship - HMS ????

          Thank you.

            It's Arnaud Street Simon.
            Not sure about the ship though.

                        This IS the James White age 45 Rigger line ?

                        Does it say HMS Yard ? (i.e. Dockyard)

                              :D I wasn't going to type it either Lyndi :D

                              Yes Simon its the same one.... it says HM D Yard and if you go to the next page and the next etc. you'll see quite a lot of people worked there and at times the enumerator got so bored he put HM DY on a couple of occassions :D

                              I went further to the 1881 and by this time they were just listing people as a Labourer Docky or Fitter Docky.

                              I googled Portsea HM Dockyard and it all became clear.... the place was huge.

                                It is MASSIVE. I was down there a few weeks back. This particular James White shows as a Rigger on HMS Victory in the 1851 Census. (obviously it mean't SOMETHING to him, as come 1871.............he just put Rigger in Dockyard ! lol !) :p

                                He clearly wasn't anywhere near Victory by 1871.
