Family History, Fenn Canham Chart 0500 Herbert Fenn, Esther Page, and William Canham

1861 Census - St Germans Plain, Downham Road, Wiggenhall St German, Norfolk. They had a Servant, an Ellen NURSE, aged 20 born St Germain and two lodgers on this Census. 1871 Census - Raw Tun? Brandon, Suffolk (on the boundary of Norfolk and Suffolk) (the boundary bit appears on the Census ) They had a servant on this Census. I have put this marriage down for Esther as 1871 is the last time I can find her as Esther PAGE, and then niece and nephews with the name FENN keep cropping up staying with members of the PAGE family, see note 13 and 18, born in the Yarmouth, Norfolk area so I am certain this is the correct marriage for Esther. However at present I cannot find the family on any census., so perhaps Esther and Herbert died before the 1881 Census. Now see Note 20 1881 Census - Southgate Street, South Lyn, Kings Lynne, Norfolk. I have now found Esther on this Census at this address but married to a William CANHAM, not Herbert FENN. she is the correct age an born in St Germans, Norfolk, her children correctly as Notes 13 and 18 are Herbert 6 born Great Yarmouth and Kate 5 born Great Yarmouth, both scholars, but they are down as CANHAM not FENN and then there is an Elizabeth age 1 born South Lyn, Norfolk with I would think is a child of Esther and William. This saga will continue. 1891 Census - 1 Windsor Road, South Lyn, Kings Lynn, Norfolk. And so the sage continues. Esther has now died, and the children on the Census are Elizabeth 11 born Kings Lynn, Norfolk, and Florence 9 born Kings Lynn, Norfolk, The there is Herbert FENN stepson, aged 16 a Solicitors Junior Clerk born Great Yarmouth, Norfolk and with them was Victoria A CANHAM, age 50 a Housekeeper Domestic, born Kings Lynn, Norfolk. This at least proves all the above details 1901 Census - Windsor Row, South Lynn, Kings Lynn, Norfolk. William's daughter Elizabeth was still with his, age 21 a Housemaid, Domestic. Also his sister Victoria CANHAM, aged 58 Single, a Housekeeper. There is only one Herbert FENN who appears to fit the bill for the person who married Esther PAGE. I cannot find him on the 1871 Census, but on the 1851 he is with his parents George and Mary. Down as being born in 1846 in Beccles, Suffolk. Living at Goose Green Lane, Beccles his father was an Auctioneer, Estate Agent, Surveyor and Farmer of 98 Acres employing 6 Labourer's. There were five other siblings with the family. On the 1861 he is 15 and a visitor to 5 Frederick Place, Newington, Surrey, he is down correctly as being born in Beccles and he is a Scholar, it would appear that he has a brother Arthur, aged 20 with him who is down as a Draughtsman and also born in Beccles, The family they are with are HENDERSON's but all born in Newcastle-on-Tyne, so I do not think they are related. 1901 Census - Out South Gates, South Lyn, Kings Lynn, Norfolk. with Thomas PAGE an Uncle, Herbert John FENN, Nephew aged 25 a Clerk at Chemical Works, born Yarmouth, Norfolk. 1891 Census - 26 Maysoule Road, West Battersea, London Kate M FENN 15 a visitor a niece born Yarmouth, Norfolk with the family of Joseph and Agnes LIVETT, an Uncle and Aunt on this Cesus.

The idea of these charts is to give the information that we have found in the research we have done and put together and with the help of many other people who have contacted us over the past thirty odd years we have been researching our family. The idea is that you click on the Chart box in blue to be taken to the next family. There is now a large number of charts to be found and connections can be made to all the main families I am researching. If a chart has a box with the standard background it means that as yet I have not put the Chart on the Web.
To conform to the Data Protection Act all the Charts have been altered to exclude all details for living people other than the name.
