  • Any Thoughts

    My grandmother Alberta Williams Maunder was born 1891 at St Neot, Cornwall and was still living in Cornwall at the 1901 census. I know that she moved to Westmorland in the early 1900s.

    My problem is that on the 1911 census she can't be found ANYWHERE.

    Furthermore Alberta's uncle Peter George Maunder (b. 1872 St. Neot), his wife Mary Ann (nee Hindson) and their son John George (b. 1900, Shap, Westmorland). I know this family moved at some stage to the West Riding of Yorkshire, but are also missing from the 1911 census even when leaving the living at box empty.

    Alberta's mother Eliza Jane Maunder also moved to Shap, possibly at the same time, but married Francis Burton Ballantine in 1910, and is on the census. Alberta isn't at this abode and was still a Maunder at her marriage to my grandfather (Richard Staveley) in 1918 and the birth of my father in 1915.

    I'm sorry if this is somewhat complicated but has anyone any thought's as to why they should all be absent.

    Alberta would have been 20 in 1911 and may very well have left home and be working elsewhere - Cornwall even!

      Could they have been in Scotland or Wales?

          There's a female listed as Albert William Maunder living in Liskeard!

          Will try and see who they are with.

            No one else. "Albert William" is a servant to the head of house (ie that's their relationship to the head)

              Only thing is that "Albert William" isn't listed as born St Neots (at least I've tries a few possible spellings and none worked!)

              However, he/she is born in Cornwall and there are no birth regs for an Albert William Maunder born in Cornwall at the right time, so, as this person is listed as female, I think it's likely to be your Alberta!

                Ah, in 1901 and 1891 your Alberta had St Cleer as birthplace rather than St Neot. In 1911 Albert William had St Cleer as birthplace too! lol

                  Merry's got her I reckon - you could SPIT from St Cleer to St Neots!

                      Is Maunder a very common name in Cornwall? I ask, because I have a George Maunder Williams, b.1862 Cornwall marrying into my tree in Australia and I had never heard the name before

                        *sniggers*

                        Genuki says that St Neot and St Cleer, although separate parishes, frequently overlap and use each other's churches and burial grounds, depending on which is handiest!

                        Both places have excellent OPCs, in case you wish to take the family back further.

                        EDIT: Macbev - yes, I would say Maunder is a relatively common name here. I have worked with two and know of several more.

                          There are about 1700 Maunders on the 1901 census, 200 of which are b in Cornwall and 650 are born in Devon, so those account for about half of al the Maunders

                            Doh, I've just realised that Alberta Maunder was already in the household of John Higgins in 1901!!

                              Thanks, OC and Merry. May get around to trying to track down this chap someday, but only when I get bored with the other brick walls I have.

                                There's no obvious birth reg for him, so he might take some work! lol

                                  Thanks to those of you who have looked for my grandmother Alberta Williams Maunder, but no answer's yet as to where she was in 1911.

                                  My apologies for quoting St. Neot, when I have her birth cert. which says St. Cleer.

                                  Thanks "Merry" for finding Peter George and family, I can't understand why their details don't come up when I try, I've just tried putting in all the info. that you gave me but still no luck.

                                  Just as a point of interest, the only reason I can think of for her second christian name of "Williams" is that as she was illegitimate I presume that it could be a hint at the un-named father's name. I did look once and found several men called Williams in the district at that time who could be elligable.
                                  Ken. ;)

                                    I'm not sure what you mean? She was in the same place she was in 1901 - with John Higgins!

                                    Thanks "Merry" for finding Peter George and family, I can't understand why their details don't come up when I try, I've just tried putting in all the info. that you gave me but still no luck.
                                    Have you tried just entering Peter George in the forenames box and Manders (not Maunders or Maunder) in the surname box? There's only one result and that is your chap!

                                        Isn't she the daughter of John and Jemima Maunder?
