Could someone do some Census lookups please.

Institution CHISHOLM, Jane H 1820 31 F Saint George Southwark Surrey

(could this be Jane Harley Chisholm born Scotland 1818 Daughter to Alexander Chisholm?) and what sort of institution is it?

1861 Census

Household CHISHOLM, Alexander Cameran 1821 40 M Marylebone London

1871 Census

the 1851 Census (HO107/1565/525 page 14) is for The Royal Hospital Of Bethlehem and shows Jane A CHISHOLM as a Curable Patient, born Edinburgh, occupation Governess

[Nicolina]

the 1861 Census (RG09/66/54 page 32) is for 70, Newman Road, Marylebone, 8 Cavendish Square and shows
Alexander Cameran CHISHOLM, Boarder, born London, occupation Portrait Painter
John CHISHOLM, Boarder, born Scotland about 1827, occupation Portrait Painter

both are unmarried

Ah right

So it's Jane A CHISHOLM not Jane H CHISHOLM, stupid FMP

Although, my Jane was born Edinburgh

The Bethlem Royal Hospital was a hospital for the treatment of mental illnesses wasn't it?

Thank you Nicolina

I posted the 1871 details for Alexander back in post 21.
I made a typo. I've just checked and it is Jane H. in 1851

'Chisholm died at Rothesay, on the island of Bute, on 3 October 1847, having suffered a period of depression following the death of his wife.' [she had died nine years earlier]

Susanna Stewart Chisholm Deaths Jun 1847 St Pancras 1 265

So it would appear that the researchers findings are a little out.

I have been able to find the 2 pictures (The Cut Foot - 1823 and The Pedlar) by Alexander Chisholm in the Victoria and Albert Museum. Says artist lived 1792-1847

So these are paintings by Alexander Cameron Chisholms father.

Other pictures by the same artist (not found copies on-line yet)

Boys with a Burning Glass. 1822.

Baptism of Ben Jonson's Daughter 1837.

King Alfred parting his remaining loaf with a poor pilgrim. 1841

The Lords of the Congregation taking the oath of the Covenant. 1842.

The Minister and his Wife concealing the Scottish Regalia in the Church (his last work). 1846.

with one further painting attributed to him - A Scottish Tale (have copy)

Right, time for bed

Could I ask someone to do a lookup on An***try for me.

London, England, Electoral Registers, 1847-1965

If it says, could you tell me the address and who they are with.
