Richard & Martha (nee Benstead) Cusick

**pjm99** · 10-02-2011 02:19 PM

I am trying to locate Richard & Martha (nee Benstead) Cusick on the 1851 census. In 1847 (4 Sep), when their eldest daughter (Honora [on brth cert]/Annorah [on FreeBMD]/Laura[at marriage]) was born they were living at 22 Albion Place Clerkenwell, Middlesex. When this daughter was baptised in 1848 (3 Dec at St John Clerkenwell) they were living at Eagle Court, Clerkenwell. By 1853, when their second daughter (Ellen) was born they had moved to Waterloo Street in Clerkenwell. I assume that they are somewhere in Clerkenwell in 1851 but try as I might I cannot locate them. Rciyard and Martha were married at St John the Baptist in Hoxton 20 Jan 1845. Not sure about Richard's DOB but Marta was born in 1828.

Grateful for any help

Peter

I have been looking back to get some clues on Richard, the surname is spelt different on all the entries above Cusack Cusick Cuisack Cussick, have you tried looking under the variations?

Noggin28,

Thanks for the reply. You have managed to find the same records that I did but presuably, like me, you did not discover an entry in the 1851 census. (And yes Matha did remarry.) My reason for wanting to find the census enrty was to see what Richard had recorded about his age and place of birth.

Thanks again & best wishes

Peter

Sorry, yes I did try variations.

Elsabels,
Thanks for the reply. I have looked at this return before and I know this looks like reasonable match (given names & occupation) but I'm fairly sure this is not them. Martha Benstead was born and baptised at Bethnal Green not Bishopsgate.
