Tilbury research help

[samesizedfeet]

Robert Tilbury married Sarah Linkson 26 June 1824 at St Mary Islington.

(Sarah is a new Linkson to me, first time I saw her was on this marriage)

Witnesses were Robert Linkson and Elizabeth Field



Robert Linkson (my 3x great grandfather) married Catherine Dind Nicholls in 1826, St Mary Islington
witnesses were Sarah Tilbury and Robert Tilbury


In Feb 1841 Robert Linkson had a son called George who was born in Windsor Street, Islington. (from birth cert)

Various parts of the Linkson family are in Windsor Street from 1827 and the address appears on baptisms and burials up until 1841

In 1841 census Robert Tilbury, shoemaker, is living there (no sign of Sarah)

There is a burial in 1842 for Sarah Tilbury of Windsor Street aged 52. This fits perfectly with her being the eldest of the Linkson children and being born before the family moved into the Islington area.
Their parents married in Westminster who don't have online records.

In 1846 there is a burial for a Robert Tilbury of Windsor Street, shoemaker.


My quandry arises from family trees on ancestry which have Robert Tilbury and Sarah Linkson but all of them say he died in 1860 in Hoxton.

Some of them also have up to 3 children - Mary (1805), Lucy (1815) and Elizabeth (1823).
I can find these children on IGI but in Hammersmith which is miles from Islington and all the births are prior to the marriage.

Is anyone able to find this Robert Tilbury in the 1851 census? Or any other clues to my Tilburys that can help me confirm they're separate to the Hammersmith ones, please?

None of them have an exact date for the 1860 death. I can see the registration for the 1846 death, but I can't see one in 1860 or 1861 Q1. I know deaths didn't always get registered at that date, but what would their source be if there's no registration?

Where is Sarah in 1841?

[Merry]

Where is Sarah in 1841?

There's this one, but not sure how you can prove it's her?

7 Gloucester Road, Brompton, Kensington

James Adkins 26 Independent Born in County? Yes
Caroline Adkins 15 Yes
James Adkins 15 mths Yes
Then a line to denote seperate household, same addy
Emma Ruse (?) 20 Female Servant No
Sarah Tilbury 48 No
Another line to denote seperate household, same addy
Richard Fleming 45 Independent Yes
Mary Fleming 45 Independent Yes

[Merry]

There's another one in Shoreditch aged 45 who is acting as a nurse in a family with a baby, so that seems less likely to be your Sarah, as further away and possibly a more permanent address?

If she were a monthly nurse, she could be hopping all over the place. I have a Portsmouth woman on the census in Chichester.

I'm drawn to the nurse out of the two options found - mainly because her sister Abigail was also a nurse (so nothing solid enough for proof). SHoreditch is much closer to Islington than Kensington as well.

Then again - Caroline is a family name later....... so the Adkins are possible too if related

She could be neither of them of course. I found Robert by trawling through Windsor Street as he was transcribed as Lilburn


I'm off to the football and to attempt to forget about missing sisters who couldn't be bothered to reveal themselves until 10+ years into my research. Grrrrrrrrrr.

I will return later and, slightly drunk, I may have more clarity on it all
