Biography

This profile is part of the Norris Name Study.

Address 1881 and 1891

31 Washington St, Birmingham, Warwickshire, England

Albert his son is listed as General labourer in 1881. Born in Lye.

My great grand father, John, son of Thomas, is listed as a carpenter, case maker in 1881. Born in Birmingham.

Zechariah, (NOT Techariah age 12) is listed as age 9 I will list this for now but unsure of authenticity of another child with so close a name and age. Otherwise, where is Techariah? Perhaps he died, as Faepreach isn't mentioned either. Zechariah might have been a child born since the last census. These dates correspond with epidemics of Cholera and Typhoid around Birmingham at this time.

John Senior the grand father (Alice Hibell's husband) and widow is listed as 74, meaning he would be born 1807, NOT 1811, as listed elsewhere born 1811. I suspect this entry is wrong not the former. Also listed as born in Lye.

1881 Census England and Wales.

In 1891 census, Washington Street is listed as having three rooms.

It also lists Faepreach again, listed as a cabinet maker, like his nephew my great grand father.

It wrongly ticks Pricilla as born in Stowerbridge, NOT Dudley.
