My 3x gt grandfather is found here on the 1871 census
- Ancestry.co.uk
He is James Butcher halfway down the page at 154 Tooley Street. The handwriting is atrocious. The transcriptions list the family as
Fannie - wife
Emley Handy -daughter in law (Possibly Hardy?)
Ann Thomas - Wales sister (I assume they mean wife's sister)
and a couple bar staff/servants
Challenge is - find a marriage for James and Fannie and locate Fannie and Emley/Emily in 1861 or earlier.
James first wife died in November 1863 (I have the certificate)
By 1881 James is living with his daughter Kezia and her family in Southwark. No sign of Fannie & co. I'm not convinced that there was a marriage but it's bugging me now that I can't find them pre 1871!
