    Default Anyone heard of Meybourn

    On the 1911 census I found people I believe to belong to my husbands family. There are three people, head and son are born in Deptford.

    The wife is born in a place called Meybourn.

    Googled it and nothing of interest came up, do you know where Meybourn is/was?

    This is all from the 1911 census

    Thomas Loveridge Head married 6 years, aged 26 Deptford
    Sussa Loveridge Wife aged 22 Meybourn
    John Loveridge Son aged 7 Deptford

    The wife is named as Sussa, I have had a really good look, it isnt Sussan, it could be Tessa. It has been transcribed as Sussa

    They live at 15 Hale Street Deptford.

    Hale Street and the name Loveridge seem to go hand in hand. I was told there was a Jumbo Loveridge, which could be the John named above.

    There is a marriage on FreeBMD that looks likely:
    Thomas LOVERIDGE Sep 1905 Dartford 2a 1241. On the same page is Susan SULLIVAN. I can't positively identify her in the censuses. You would need to get a copy of the marriage certificate to find the name & occupation of her father. With a name like SULLIVAN she could well be Irish.

    What about this family?
    1891 census RG12/98 f93 p30, 41 Devonshire St, Marylebone, London
    Jno SULLIVAN, head, M, 36, Gen lab, Ireland
    Mary ", wife, M, 41, Ireland
    Mary ", dau, 10, London, Marylebone
    Susan ", dau, 6, London, Marylebone
    Jno ", son, 4, London, Marylebone

    You definitely need the marriage certificate first, but Meybourn could be a translation of Marylebone. Maybe a Londoner can tell us how Marylebone is pronounced?

    Marylebone did cross my mind.

    Forgot to say that the occupations given for Sussa and Thomas is hawker for each.

    Looking on the censuses there is a Maybourne Hampshire recorded as a pob, St Maybourne, St Mary Bourne, no Sullivans with that as pob. The only one I could find for a Susan Sullivan in Hampshire born abt 1889 Winchester father John born India mother born Ireland. John is a solider but couldnt find them after 1891.

    Hi,

    I'm on holiday this week, but if you like I can pop into the local archives at Lewisham next week and see who was listed at the address in 1911.

    In 1911 at 52 Hale Street were

    Emma Ault a 74 year old widow
    Frederick Ault, her son a 33 year old hawker.

    Charles Gunston as head a 62 year old Fishmongers Assistant with wife Clara and son Arthur.

    Hawkers rarely stayed in the same place for long.
