Hello Everybody, Could someone who has any suggestions about the above address in 1841 please help me. In that year's census at that address which continues as St George Hanover Square, Westminster, was an Isabella Nelson, aged 25, who does not appear to be born "In the county". There were many people at the address. The reference is HO 107 734 5/15 24. I think she was the wife of a rich man in Carlisle and if so was the mother of a seven months old daughter. In the 1841 census the husband and the child were in Carlisle but the mother was absent. Their next child was baptised at Carlisle in March 1842. My query is what was the use of the premises I have mentioned, answers awaited with interest. Regards, Rod.

Rod, HO 107 734 5/15 seems to be Blenheim Street, and I didn't find Isabella Nelson. Please clarify the reference.

Rod, my error, I'm sorry. HO 107 734 5/15 is Park Lane. I'm looking at it now. I'll post again shortly. John ----- Original Message ----- From: "J.

Rod, It is the residence of the VANE family, those listed being four children of Charles Vane, 3rd Marquess of Londonderry, by his second wife. They have umpteen servants, of whom Isabella Nelson was one. Please post again if you have difficulty in finding more data about the VANE family, but it should be well documented.

Hello John and Ann, Thanks for the replies, very helpful inasmuch as I am satisfied the Isabella at the address is not the one I am chasing as she had no need to work, her husband being not short of a penny or two. I had wondered whether it was a hospital but I now know different. I shall pursue the others with the same Christian name. Thanks again, Rod.
