I think it much more likely that the enumerator had difficulty reading your guys writing, and in particular distinguishing between B and R, so it's not reallly a name change, just a mistranscription by the enumerator. |

I do hope it's right, it does seem possible, ! I cant find anything for the name change, perhaps he was in business....so that is another can of worms ! |

If you backtrack to the Radley family,in 1851,and compare it with the 1861 they have been transcribed as Badley ,Fred is there as Badley same age same year , so maybe for the purposes of his french polishing business he may have changed his name ? |

Hi, I've been searching for what seems like years for Frederick Ainsworth, born c1842 in Hammersmith (my great grandfather). The only census I can find him in prior to his marriage is 1861 when frustratingly he was a visitor. I know his fathers name was Charles, who had died before Fredk married in 1866. No idea of mother's name as I can't find Fredk's birth. I have an old family photo of my grandfather, Fredk's son and an uncle, neither of whom I ever knew, and they look very Jewish. In fact, there is more than a hint of Jewish in quite a few family members. I'm wondering if the Ainsworth's might have been Jewish, hence no sign of them before Frederick's marriage which was C of E. I don't even know if Ainsworth is a Jewish name. Does anyone have any ideas how I might research this. I've tried Ancestry, but without knowing where they might originate from, it's a bit complicated!! |
