But no sign of either on Census after 1881

Can anyone find Sarah or Ralph ? in 1891 and 1901

[mumbles]

Still cannot find Sarah Perkins (nee Tibbetts) or Ralph Reuben Perkins after marriage

Perkins Ralph of Lower Hagley Worcs. died 18 Sept 1902. Administration London 4 May 1903 to Sarah Perkins widow.
Effects £51. 3s 8d.

Plot thickens
Manchester Courier & Lancashire General Advertiser 1895
" Two men named Ralph Perkins & Frank Perkins Auctioneers of Cradley Heath before Mr. Yates with obtaining money by false pretences. Mr. Brooks for prosecution said prisoners attended Worsley Show on Saturday & disposed of a number of "Metal" watches for "Gold" Bail was agreed for £100

Perhaps this was reason Ralph disappeared & Frank's wife Caroline lived separate from him. Also Caroline's father was Chief Clerk to county Court and Sarah wife of Frank was daughter of well to do business man William Tibbetts who ran Malt Shovel Inn and New Inn in Rowley Regis

[peterd]

Tried the 1901 london prison census he might be in there ?

[mumbles]

Everything added but still no sign of Ralph in 1891 and 1902

[peterd]

Everything added but still no sign of Ralph in 1891 and 1902

Wonder if he was deported if found guilty at above trial ? £100 bail was quite a bit of money

[mumbles]

Died on railway crossing Hagley in 1902 so probably not deported
and Frank Perkins was with mother and Stepfather in 1911

[mumbles]

William Tibbetts father of Sarah Tibbetts who married Ralph Reuben Perkins is already on bcc
and now I have added all Census & other details have found an interesting connection

http://www.bcconnections.tribalpages.co ... =125220085

added by Trisha 21/12/08 William (1827) was a Maltser and resided at the "New Inn" 32 Graingers Lane, Cradley Heath in 1861, the "Malt Shovel" on Corngreaves Road in 1871, back to the "New Inn" in 1881 and 1891 and was living at 95 Bridgework Road Wollaston in the 1901 census.
He never remarried but had several servants over the years to help him with the kids.
Erskine Morgan 1861-1871
Phoebe Homer 1881-1901
and Eliza Mantle 1891.
William died 19th September 1902.

Pheobe Ann Homer was servant to William Tibbetts from 1881 to 1902 when he died
but she then lived as a lady in his large house in 1911
1911 Census Fair View 5 Bridge Road Wollaston Stourbridge Worcs.
Phoebe Homer 51 Private Means born Hill Morton ? Staffordshire
Edith Butler niece 31 Ladys Companion born Cradley Worcs.

Then when she died in 1937 ( still living in big house) she left everything in her will to Nellie Hinds(nee Tibbetts) wife of James Oswald Hinds
Nellie was granddaughter of William Tibbetts

Cannot yet find where Pheobe Homer came from as her place of birth is not clear or different on each census

[mumbles]

Only thing outstanding is trying to find out who Pheobe Ann Homer came from
Servant to William Tibbetts and lived in House for 45 years after his death

1881 Census aged 23 born Netherton Worcs. Rowley Regis Staffs.
1891 Census aged 32 born Dudley Worcs.
1901 Census aged 42 born Rowley Regis Staffs.
1911 Census aged 51 born Hill Molton Staffs. ( could be Bilston Staffs.

Only Pheobe Homer who died in 1937 ( year of Will) was aged 83 which would put her at born 1854

[mumbles]

Key to identifying Phoebe Homer is her niece on 1911 Census

1911 Census Fair View 5 Bridge Road Wollaston Stourbridge Worcs.
Phoebe Homer 51 Private Means born Hill Morton ? Staffordshire
Edith Butler niece 31 Ladys Companion born Cradley Worcs.

I think original looks like born Netherton not Hill Morton

1891 Census High Street Cradley Heath Rowley Regis Dudley Staffs.
Ann Butler Head 67 (wid ) born Cradley Worcs.

Amerina Butler dau 14 Chain Maker
Edith Butler dau 11
William Butler son 6 Scholar

Joseph Butler son 3
Huart Butler son 6 mths.
Rest born Rowley Regis Staffs.

Charles Butler married Ann Homer
BUTLER Charles HOMER Ann Dudley, St Andrew Dudley Register Office 205/004/210 1869

so Ann must be sister or sister.in.law of Phoebe Homer

but 1881 Census complicates things :-
1881 Census 49 High Street Beggars Row Rowley Regis Dudley Staffs.
Ann Butler Head 58 (wid) Chain Maker unemployed
Sarah Ann Hemming grd.dau 10
Ann Butler lodger 35 (u)

Charles is already on bcc
http://www.bcconnections.tribalpages.co ... di=7978229
but wedding to Ann Homer does not detail Ann Homer father but just deceased

I have still not tied up Phoebe Homer with Ann Homer
