  • 1911 Census help please

    Hi,

    I'm looking for Selina Lewis on the 1911 census.

    She was born in St Peter's Hertfordshire in 1846 and was a Straw Hat Maker (Brazilian hat maker on some census'). She never married and had 5illegitimate children between 1870-1886 in St Albans. I didn't know who the father was until recently - he was a William Hale who died in 1899.

    I have accounted for all of the children on the 1911 census - by now they are all married.

    In 1901 the only likely Selina I can find is a Selina Fillo born 1852 - St albans

    She died in 1924.

    These are the people I've looked at already on the off chance, but I don't think these are her:

    , SELINA SERVANT SINGLE F 44 COOK HERTS WATFORD
    LOUIS, ANN HEAD WIDOW F 75 OLD AGE PENSIONER KENT BEXLEY HERTS
    LEWIN, SELINA WIFE MARRIED F 52 GADDESDEN ROW HERTS
    LINE, SELINA HEAD SINGLE F 56 DRESSMAKER ST PETERS ESSEX LONDON
    RHODES, SELINA WIDOW F 68 STRAW HAR MAKER LONDON
    LINES, SELINA WIFE MARRIED F 66 HERTFORDSHIRE KEMPSTON
    LEWIS, SELINA HEAD WIDOW F 66 TOROWELL NOTTS
    LAWRENCE, ANN HEAD MARRIED F 56 ST ALBANS HERTS
    LEWIS, MARY ANN WIFE MARRIED F 67 WARE HERTS
    LOWIS, SELINA CAROLINE WIFE MARRIED F 65 INDIA GWALIOR RESIDENT
    LEWIS, SELINA WIFE MARRIED F 47 HITCHIN HERTS

    I know somw of these are reaching a bit, but you never know! If you want more info on the above let me know as I have bought the transcripts (and some of the original pages) for them all.

    If anybody can see something I can't I would be very grateful.

    Thanks

        A definite sighting in 1891 with 4 of her children and her mother living with her. Here it says born 1850 in St Albans.

        Her childre were:

        Eliza Lewis b1870
        William Lewis b1872
        David Lewis b1876 - My great grandfather who just so happens to also be missing in 1901!
        Horace Lewis - 1882
        Florance Lewis - 1886

        Thanks for any help/advice,

              No, this isn't her. She's with her husband and family:

              LEWIS, MARIA S WIFE MARRIED F 61 HAMMERSMITH

                  I see that you have submitted a correction to this entry in Ancestry.
                  Not sure why you think it is Selina Lewis.

                  I think it is probably Selina Fells who was born in 1852 St Albans, parents George and Susannah -

                      I can't find anybody who she might be.......also I thought it might be her as her children are living not far from where she's living.

                        Selina Fells is on the 1911
                        FELLS SLINA born 1850 living in St Albans Hertfordshire

                        - but I cannot see the connection between her and Selina Lewis.

                        I can see Selina Fells in 1861 - have you found Selina Lewis in 1861?

                          Selina Fells is on the 1891 census
                          - Ancestry.co.uk

                          You have found your Selina Lewis also in 1891 -so they must be two different people.

                            Hi,

                            These are the ones mentioned:

                            LEWIS, SARAH SERVANT SINGLE F 66 GENERAL SERVANT DOMESTIC ICKLEFORD HERTS
                            LEWIS, SARAH HEAD WIDOW F 64 WEST INDIA JAMAICA RESIDENT

                            I don't think these can be her. This family is so elusive! In 1901 her daughter Florence is 15 and is mistranscribed as 75! Luckily she's a servant in the house next door to where her brother's live. I still haven't managed to find my gt grandad David Lewis in 1901.

                              I have found her on every census except the 1901 and 1911 census. I don't know where she is as she didn't die until 1924!

                                  Is this her in 1881 using the name Eliza Lewis?

                                      Sorry, my computer keeps crashing.

                                      Yes, I believe that is her with her 3 eldest children and her mother Ann. She did have a sister called Eliza who died in 1872.

                                        My great grandad David Henry Lewis married Louisa Frances Linkins in 1913 in Leicester where they are in 1911. By this time they already had 2 children together and had been living as husband and wife from sometime between 1901 - 1909 when their 1st child was born in Leicester.

                                        He married under the name of Henry D Lewis and said he was 33 when in fact he was 37!
