Caroline Easter Reffell

[vita]

Can anyone please help me trace Caroline on the 1841 census?

The following year she became 2xg grandfather Henry William Headland's 2nd

wife, giving her address as 27 Greece Street. She was b 1821, parents Thomas

& Johanna Reffell & d 1849, aged 28 - the same age as HW's 1st wife, my 2xg

grandmother (!)

Sorry folks - forgot to add "London" to above post.

UK Census Online has a Caroline Reffell age 20 listed, in London, birthplace out of county, and a Caroline Ruffell age 20 in Surrey. I'll see if I can find them on ancestry now given that they are probably mistranscribed on there... or maybe the "Ruffell" one is mistranscribed on UK Census Online.

Not found her on ancestry yet but are these her parents and siblings in 1851?
http://interactive.ancestry.co.uk/88...nSearchResults

17 Bishops Mews, Paddington, London, Middlesex
Thomas Reffell Head Married 53 Plumber Painter Hoxton Middlesex
Johanna Reffell Wife Married 53 Bisbrook Rutlandshire
Mary Reffell Daur Un 16 Hoxton Middlesex
Maria Reffell Daur Un 14 Islington Middlesex
Ann Reffell Daur Un 10 Scholar Paddington Middlesex
William Carter Visitor Un 25 Ostler Uxbridge Middlesex.

Should make it easier to find them in 1841 and maybe Caroline will be with them.

On FMP there is this household at Shere, Surrey, in 1841:
Elizabeth Reffell 45 Ind Yes
Caroline Do 20 Y

Maybe the one transcribed as Ruffell on UK Census Online but probably not your Caroline.

Thanks Kite - no, don't believe last one is mine, but Thomas the plumber & painter looks

like her dad. I have her siblings as Joseph, John, Mary Ann & Annie, so that probably

right. "Reffell" is often wrongly transcribed - on her marriage cert its shown as "Reffle" but

she's signed it "Reffell""

Ancestry says that Paddington parish is missing from the 1841 census so maybe Thomas and Johanna and their family are lost (since Ann is supposed to have been born in Paddington around 1841). But I wish I could find the Caroline Reffell who is listed on UK Census Online on another site! Of course she could be mistranscribed on UK Census Online and not really a Reffell at all.

Its always the one you want that's missing, isn't it? I'm hoping to find her occupation for

a piece I'm preparing on HW.

I'm sorry to be able to confirm that Bishops Mews is not in my CD index of 1841 street names. I checked a few other nearby streets - Bishops Bridge Road, Porchester Terrace, Westbourne Terrace - and they are missing too.

You have my sympathy as I have loads of people missing in 1841 in that area and over in Notting Hill and North Kensington.

Could this be Caroline? She's aged 15 but allowing for ages being up to 5yrs younger it is a possible. Indexed on Ancestry as Caroline Ressele there's also a John Ressele age 13 in the same household.
