1841 Wool, Dorset 1851 Wool Dorset 1861 Wool, Dorset as DIFFEY. Living with the family was Ann P HARVEY (14) Niece, Scholar born Wool, Dorset 1871 Dorset County Asylum, Charminster, Dorset. Shown as Patient, and also Ag Lab Although the first Censuses I looked at the surname was spelt DIFFLEY I think the name should be DIFFEY without the L, I have found Georges family in Wool, Dorset on the 1861 Census and they are spelt DIFFEY and later censuses such as the 1891 and 1901 they are all DIFFEY's. 1841 Wool, Dorset 1851 Wool, Dorset 1861 Wool, Dorset as DIFFEY. Living with the family was Ann P HARVEY (14) Niece, Scholar born Wool, Dorset 1871 Not found 1841 Wool, Dorset 1851 Wool, Dorset 1861 Burton, Winfrith, Dorset. Lodging with them was James HIBBS (58) widower Ag Lab born Wool, Dorset 1871 East Burton, Winfrith Newburgh, Dorset 1881 East Burton, Winfrith Newburgh, Dorset 1891 Coombe Keynes, Dorset 1901 Not found 1841 Wool, Dorset 1851 Wool, Dorset 1861 Bindon Mills, Wool, Dorset. Servant to John LLY (?) (64) Miller and Farmer of 210 acres employing 12 men and 6 boys, born Chackbourne, Somerset, his wife Elizabeth (68) born Beaminster, Dorset and Sarah Mavis? LLY? (26) New Romney, Kent. Living with them was William LUCAS (34) Miller born Pulhern, Dorset and Charles FANCEY Apprentice Miller born Lutton, Dorset 1841 Wool, Dorset 1851 Wool, Dorset 1861 Wool, Dorset as DIFFEY 1871 Highwood, East Stoke, Dorset 1881 Upper Ham Junction Railway House, Hamworthy, Dorset 1891 Upper Ham Junction Railway House, Hamworthy, Dorset Living with them was grandson Thomas DIFFEY (8) born Hamworthy, Dorset 1901 Hillbourne, Canford Magna, Dorset 1841 Wool, Dorset age 9 months 1851 Wool, Dorset 1871 Wilkes Road, Brading, Isle of Wight, Hampshire 1881 5 ?? Terrace, York Road, Brading, Isle of Wight, Hampshire. 1891 Enterprise House, Wilkes Road, Brading, Sandown, Isle of Wight, Hampshire 1901 Wilkes Road, Brading, Sandown, Isle of Wight, Hampshire 1851 Wool, Dorset (age 8 so born 1843) 1861 Wool. Dorset as DIFFEY 1871 Cliff Hall Road, Freshwater, Isle of Wight, Hampshire as DIFFLEY 1881 Church Place, Freshwater, Isle of Wight, Hampshire as DIFFEY. At this date George, together with Thirza and their children, are still living all together 1891 School Green, Freshwater, Isle of Wight, Hampshire as DIFFEY. Wife was not with him, but he is shown as married. Living with him is a niece, Frances L LUCAS (23) Housekeeper born East Burton, Dorset 1901 School Green, Freshwater, Isle of Wight, Hampshire as DIFFEY. George is shown as married, but Thirza is not living with him and his children. Living with him was a niece Rosa DIFFLEY (18?) possibly a Home Help born Chale, Isle of Wight, Hampshire. 1851 Wool, Dorset 1861 Allen House, Haggerston West, Shoreditch, Middlesex. Indexed on ancestry.com as DEFFY, it is DIFFEY on actual census. Servant to Edmund E HOOPER (43) Gen Prac. M.D, M.R.C.S., London L.S.A.? born Loughton, Essex, his wife Julia C (36) born India, daughter Julia P (17) born Shoreditch, Middlesex, step-son George T O WOLLANTON (22) Surgeon's Assistant born India, partner Robert G WATTS (27) unmarried Gen Prac. M.D, M.R.C.S., L.S.A.? born Hampton on Sea, Gloucestershire. Another servant was Hannah L STEVENS (20) House Servant born Bethnal Green, Middlesex Copies of original registers were searched from 1843-1848 and no Jane DIFFEY registration was found. There was a Frances Jane DIFFEY registered in the March quarter of 1847. However, Jane is shown clearly as age 6 on the 1851 census and age 17 on the 1861 census giving birth years of 1845 and 1844. But her brother George was shown as age 8 and his birth was registered in March quarter 1846. And when she died in 1868 Jane's age was shown as 23 so born 1848. Therefore, as George was shown as being older than his sister Jane, and because of her age at death, her approximate birth date has been shown as about 1847. More research required! Married the same quarter as brother Henry and she married a WELLSTEAD which was the surname of the wife of her brother Joseph. 1861 Wool, Dorset as DIFFEY 1871 Scotland Heath, Corfe Castle, Dorset (indexed on ancestry.com as DEFFEY). Lodging with John CAKE (39) Woodman born Lytchett, Dorset, his wife Louisa (48) born Wareham, Dorset and their grandson Levi L SENNICK (6) born Corfe Castle, Dorset 1881 Not found 1851 Wool, Dorset Age 1 month as Esther 1861 Wool. Dorset as DIFFEY 1871 Not found It appears that Esther married a William WELLSTEAD and had eight children in total, I would think this was the same William WELLSTEAD that married Esther's sister Jane, Jane died in 1868, so I think he would have remarried her sister as shown in 1869. There was an Esther DIFFEY marriage in the Wareham District, Dorset in June 1871, but when looking at the information on the 1881 census the age and place of birth did ot match, and information on later census returns could not be found to clarify the matter. 1861 Wool, Dorset as DIFFEY 1871 Not found There is a Frank DIFFEY in Chale on the Isle of Wight who is the correct age of this Francis, he is also born in Wool, Dorset. So it is possible it is one and the same person, seeing that other members of the family moved to the Isle of Wight. However I have no way of proving it. There is however on the 1881 Census with George DIFFEY and Theresa DIFFEY née COBB a niece, Kate who is 11 who come from Chale Isle of Wight, so there might be a connection, although I cannot see how it can be a child of Frances because of the ages. 1861 Wool, Dorset as DIFFEY Age 3 months

The idea of these charts is to give the same information that appears in the research we have done and put together in various books. The idea is that you click on the Chart box in blue to be taken to the next family. There is now a large number of charts to be found and connections can be made to all the main families I am researching. If a chart has a box with the standard background it means that as yet I have not put the Chart on the Web.
To conform to the Data Protection Act all the Charts have been altered to exclude all details for living people other than the name.
