And this morning, I made another great find to add to this story!
Here's a copy of the 1841 England Census.
On the 4th line down, I think you can see that it might be J. Lewis Harris, age 20. However, the transcribers have it typed in as Flavie Harris.
In the top line, I think you can see Rachael Harris, age 50 and then Rachael Hart, age 80. Again, this was transcribed as Rachael Harres, age 30 and Rachael Bart, age 30. You would never match this up by just using an ancestry search!
Jane Harris was E. H. Saltiel's mother and is age 15 in this census. Her brother is Judah Lewis Harris and he was age 20 at this time.
I think a rather important note is that only Flavie and Jane were listed together in this census. So with the ages of 20 and 15, one might assume they were husband and wife. So happy I didn't make that assumption!!!
Saltiel's grandmother was Rachel Harris, age 50 at this census and his great grandmother was Rachel Hart, age 80. I did not have this information prior to this find.
They were living in District 6, St Bottle Without Bishopsgate, Middlesex - all now suburbs of London.
Why is this an important find? Because I am still trying to prove the relationship of EH Saltiel to ES Hart. They would have been 2nd cousins.
This is HARD WORK!!! Because you can't rely on transcribers, you have to widen your search, then go to the actual document and read each line. Who knew that Flavie Harris would lead me to the census record that I needed for this family!!!
