I am trying to find a lady by name of Ann GRAIN in the 1851 census. She was supposedly born in about 1789, place unknown. When she made her will in 1850 she described herself as being ".late of Devonshire Street, Portland Place but now of Charles Street, Manchester Square.". When she died in 1853 she was described as living at 79, Albany Street, Regents Park although the death duty register gives 79, Upper Albany Street, Regents Park. I can't find her in the 1851 census, or the 1841. She will most likely be described as being of independent means. Does anyone have any ideas? Thank you. David
79 Albany Street is here (but she's not) HO107 piece 1493 folio 396 page 27 There doesn't seem to be a 79 Upper Albany Street, but the entries for Albany Street start here HO107 piece1493 folio 430 if you want to trawl up the street. The burial register also gives her address as Upper Albany Street (no number) Anne South Australia David Railton wrote: > I am trying to find a lady by name of Ann GRAIN in the 1851 census.
