I am having trouble with this relative of mine and cannot understand what happened to him in about 1861. In 1851 he was a visitor in a household which stats he was a Master Boot maker with (I think) 3 employees. I cannot find any record of him on the 1861 census, but on 22 Feb 1861 there were some settlement papers for the poor, but cannot understand the writing! It says his address is 12 Amhurst Terrace, Hackney. In the 1871 census he was in Hackney Union Workhouse, and, I think, died there in 1872. Incidentally his son Humphrey (my GT grandfather X2) lived in 12 Amhurst Terrace all his life. What I would like to know is where Humphrey was in 1861, and how I can find out how he ended up in the workhouse? |

Sorry, no luck either for 1861, but in 1856 he was at the address you have given so he may well be there????? |

I am not sure that the words written are to do with Humphrey or the Charles Watson whose name is above him as there is a wiggley line down from the name of Charles. |
