Chart 0307

1841 Census - On the Green, Great Holland, Essex. 1851 Census - Croydon Road, Beckenham, Kent. There is a Joseph down with a second name MUSEUM, but he is the correct age for the Joseph above and born in Langham, Essex. I think it is more than likely the name is down wrong. It does look like that on the actual census, whereas Ancestry.com had the town down as Longham, Essex and it is definitely Langham. As at the present time it does not make a lot of difference I have added the Note 9 to him and also the occupation. He was a servant to a Ann ERIES, a Cook born Bermondsey, London aged 44, there was another Servant with them. 1861 Census - Waterloo Place, Clapham, Surrey - Taking the information from Note 9, I looked for a Joseph MUNSON, born Langham, Essex in 1825, there are two that come up, but I think this is the correct one as the other one is still in Langham, the occupation of Gentleman Coachman ties up with the 1851 Census return, the place Clapham is not too far from Beckenham and the first children were born in Camberwell, Surrey which is even nearer. So I do think this is the correct person. As the eldest child was born in Langham, Essex and they were only living in Great Holland in 1841 I would think it was likely that all the children were born in Langham before they moved. I will be going to the Essex Record Office in the next week or so and will check to see what I can find. This should confirm all the above details. For the present I have gone ahead an added the details I have found, mainly so I have them all to hand when I go to the Record Office. Again as they use Matilda as one of their children's names, a name that is Joseph's mother's name and also his brother called his child Matilda, I am fairly certain I have it right. 1871 Census - Waterloo Retreat, Clapham, Surrey. Joseph is listed first on this Census, then the three girls, Eliza, Phoebe and Ann. No Matilda appears. 1881 Census - 11 Waterloo Place, Clapham, Surrey. Phoebe is the Head of Household, but is not down as Married not Widow so assume Joseph was away on the night of the Census. The only Joseph MUNSON I can find on this Census born in 1825 is a Patient at St Georges Hospital, Hanover Square, London. He is down as being born in Colchester, (this is possible as it is the closest large town to Langham) and he is down as a Carman, again possible. I am not certain this is the correct person, but think it is quite likely. 1891 Census - 11 Waterloo Place, Clapham, Surrey. Joseph is again with the family and is down as a Coachman. 1901 Census - 31 Park Crescent, Clapham, Surrey. On this census Phoebe is not with Joseph but he is not down as a Widow. His two duaghters Phoebe and Ann are still with him. 1891 Census - 36 Archel Road, Fulham, Middlesex 1901 Census - 67 Humbolt Road, Fulham, Middlesex

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.
