Batchelor

 

 

 
 Second Generation Sarah Batcheldor (1833-
 Third Generation Albert G. Egan (1860-

 


Richard and Sarah had a daughter Sarah who was born in 1833. 

She had married a Mr. Egan and in the 1861 Census was living with her father and her two children William born in 1858 in Rugby and Albert born in 1860 at Barby. Her husband was not in the house on the day of the census but she was not termed a widow.  

Her father Richard had died in 1865 and I could not find any record of Sarah her husband or her son William in the 1871 or later censuses. Although I did find Albert in 1871 then aged 11 who was at a school (later I found this was a school for the blind as he was born blind).  

Out of interest I followed him through as although not a direct relative he was interesting. 

In the 1881 Census Albert G Egan was a pupil at the Blind Institute in Edgbaston Warwickshire aged 21 

In the March quarter 1890 he married Thyras Jane Jelfs (what a name!) who had been born in Birmingham in1845. She was therefore 15 years older than him.   

In the 1891 Census Albert G Egan (now 31) was living at 60 Wynn Street in Edgbaston with his wife now called Thirza (45). Albert still blind of course was a teacher of music. Also living with them was his 76 year old mother-in-law, two boarders (a tailor's salesman and a sorting clerk at a Post office). Looking at their neighbours there were a number of professions living around them. 

In the 1901 Census Albert now 41 and Thirza now 55 were living at 121 Summer Road Edgbaston. Albert was a Professor of Music. Also living with them was Emma Thompson a 17 year old servant, Thirza Rowland a niece of his wife, Mary Morris a housekeeper from Wales and two boarders an Assistant School Teacher and an assistant in the book trade.   

This is where we lose Albert G Egan but he is not now going to have any children unless he remarries and anyway he is not a direct relative
