Perhaps the enumerator went down the wrong lane?

lol Phoenix!

I found a reference on Google that says Garrett's Farm was on Ware Street, so I was going to quickly look up Ware Street on FMP but now I see why everyone is complaining about their new address search for the censuses. Will try later!

The Colville Rd address is where Harriet lived:

27 July 1881 - London Standard

23. Colville-road. Bayswater, the wife of Charles Conyers Massy Baker, Esq., barrister-at-law, of a son

There were at Colville Road in 1881. He is recorded as a barrister who was born in Ireland.

Perhaps they were in Ireland in 1871?

Maybe. If George was looking for a husband for Harriet then he was in the wrong country as Charles was in England in 1861 and 1871!! lol

It's hard to take in that a first cousin of my working class g-grandmother was married to someone who appears in The Peerage.com (even if I can't work out why he is in there!)

They may be in The Peerage became Charles's brother was knighted.

Maybe. They seem to have their tree going back a long way on there for no particular reason that I could see.

Harriet Booth Allen is my first cousin 3xremoved on dad's side of my tree.

At her wedding one of the witnesses was Ella Octavia Mary Dartnell.

I already have Ella's first cousin once removed, Ellen Alice Checkley Dartnell, on my tree. Ellen was married to the third cousin of my first cousin 4xremoved on mum's side of my tree.

I think I did well to notice that, but I wouldn't have done so if it wasn't for the fancy names!! lol

Found an "uninhabited" on Ware Street, Ockley on the 1871 census, so maybe that's Garrett's Farm:

1871 census

(I thought it would be quicker to browse through Ockley on ancestry than try to do a street search on FMP! And Ware Street seems to turn up quite a few times as you go through the first few pages, so probably just as well I did it that way.)

Could be, couldn't it?

Thanks for doing that whilst I was wasting time with the Dartnells!!
