FAMILY HISTORY

(d) Benjamin Warby (1801-    ) was married to Susan. This is not confirmed that this is the 'right' family but a presumption is being made, on dates, that both (e) Emma Warby (1841-bef1871) and (e)Robert Warby (1834-1889) are the same people on the 1851 Census **(see below) for Tottenham and the 1861 Census ***(see below) for Tottenham.

(e) Benjamin Warby (1822-    ) is not yet confirmed as belong to 'our' family either but once again dates and places names in common would indicate that he is a possible relative. Rather than leave him out I am going to add him to the tree in the hope I can confirm his rightful place on our tree or remove him from it. I have a record for Benjamin Warby son of Benjamin and Susanna as having been Christened on the 14th April 1822 in St Andrews Church, Enfield, London. In the ***** 1881 Census (see below) for New Street - Wombridge - Shropshire he is recorded as being a Cordwainer by trade aged 59. He was born in Enfield and his children were born in Tottenham and Quarry Bank, Staffordshire. Dates indicate that Benjamin moved from London to Staffordshire around the same time that Robert and John Warby and their brother in-law, Henry Targett , moved up into the Midlands District.

(e) Robert Warby (1834-1889) born in Tottenham, London. His occupation was that of a 'Grocer Assistant' in London on the night of the 1851 Census **(see below) .Robert continued in this line of work all his life. He is recorded in the 1861 Census *** (see below)as living at 8 Cold Bath Square, Clerkenwell, London. His sister (e) Emma Warby (1841-bef1871) aged 19 is living with the family when this Census was taken. Robert, Mary and their family moved to Brierley Hill around 1861-62 as their daughter Elizabeth's birth was recorded in Stourbridge Registration District in 1861. When the 1881 Census ***** (see below) was taken Robert and Mary were living at 39 High Street, Breirley Hill. Robert's occupation was still that of a Grocer. His birth place was given as Tottenham and Mary's was given as Shadwell. Mary gave her birth place in the 1861 Census as St George East, Middlesex. 

     WILLS:- The Probate Registry Indexes lists Robert Warby of High Street, Brierley Hill death as the 10th October 1889. He left his estate, valued at Two Hundred and Fifty Five pounds to his widow, Mary Warby. Robert was aged 55 at the time of his death. Mary died on 12th november 1906 aged 75 and gives her address as being 392 Aston Lane, Witton, Birmingham at the time of her death. Probate of her estate was valued as One Thousand, Two Hundred and Eighteen Pounds and Thirteen Shillings and Six Pence. This was granted to her son Arthur Warby (Grocer) in 1907.

(e) Elizabeth Warby (1832-    ) married Thomas Lines (1805-    ) in the December quarter of 1865 in the Edmonton District of London. This was Thomas Lines second marriage. His first marriage, also to an Elizabeth, appears to have born no children as did his second marriage. Thomas's occupation through the census records lists his occupation as Farm Baliff. He was born in Eydon, Northamptonshire, England. In the 1871 census Thomas and Elizabeth (nee Warby) Lines (his second younger wife) have listed with them Elizabeth Emma Targett aged 3. She was the daughter of Elizabeth's sister, Emma who had married Henry Targett. Emma died in 1869 at a young age leaving henry to raise a small child. It appears that Elizabeth may have helped raised her sister's child for a time. Henry remarried in 1873 and little Elizabeth Emma Targett, now 13, is living with her father and stepmother when the 1881 census is recorded.

(e) Emma Warby (1842-bef1871) was listed as a sister in the 1861 census visiting her brother Robert Warby at 8 Cold Bath Street, Clerkenwell. Also listed as an assistant is 19 year old Henry Tarrat who was born in St George's District of London. I believe Henry and Emma meet when when she was visiting her brother Robert. There is a 19 year old Henry Tarrat (or mistranscribed as Tarial) listed under the 1861 Census as a Grocer's Assistant to Robert Warby. In all following census returns there is no Henry Tarial or Tarret - and it is the only year there is no appropriate lisitng for Henry Targett. It is a known fact that Henry Targett went on to run his own Grocery business in the Midlands. It appears that Henry and Emma travelled up to into the Midlands prior to 1869 as Emma is recorded as having died in the Dudley Registration District in the December quarter in 1869. Emma and Henry had only two children, Elizabeth and Frank. It appears that Frank died aged 1 but Elizabeth married Thomas Taylor In the June quarter of 1889 in Stourbridge Registration District, Staffordshire, England. They raised a small family of their own as can be found in the 1891 & 1901 Census returns for England. The young widowed Henry Targett remarried to Eleanor Davies in the Stourbridge Registration District in the December quarter of 1873 and they had children who can be found in the 1881 Census returns.  

   (f) William Warby (1854-    ) had his birth registered in the Edmonton District Jan-Mar quarter 1854. He appears on the 1881 Census ***** (see below) as a Bacon & Cheese Dealer living with his brother John and family at 155 Highfield, Eccleshall Bierlow, Yorkshire. He also appears on the 1901 Census ****** (see below) as a Grocer still living with his brother John and family but at 117 Club Garden Road, Eccleshall Bierlow, Yorkshire.

    (f) John Warby (1856-1930) had his birth registered in the Edmonton District Jan-Mar quarter 1856. His death was reqistered in Eccleshall Bierlow District Apr-June quarter 1930. John married Margaret and Mary Ann. He appears on the 1881 Census ***** (see below) as living with wife Margaret and son, John Warby, aged 1 week (died 1883) ,at 155 Highfield, Eccleshall, Yorkshire. Brother William Warby is also listed as living with John. In the 1901 Census ******(see below) John is living with wife Mary Ann and four children at 117 Club Garden Road, Eccleshall Bierlow, Yorkshire. In 1881 he is said to be a Bacon & Cheese Dealer and in 1901 his occupation is that of a Grocer.

     (f) Mary Ann Warby (1859) had her birth registered in the Clerkenwell District, London Apr-June quarter 1859. No further information has been traced for Mary Ann.

    (f) Arthur Robert Warby (1861-1936) had his birth registered in the Clerkenwell District Apr-June quarter 1862. Arthur was commonly known as Robert. He married Maria Deeley in 1889. Maria was the daughter of Francis (Frank) Deeley and Martha fellows. Robert is listed as father of the groom when son Arthur Joseph Warby (1897) married Florrie Jessie Adams on the 13th July 1921.  When his mother , Mary, died in 1906 (aged 75) Arthur was granted Probate of her Estate valued at 1,218 pounds 13 shillings & sixpence. Arthur's occupation was that of Grocer in 1907. His death was registered in Birmigham District Jan-Mar quarter 1936. Arthur is listed on the 1881 Census *****(see below)

    (f) Elizabeth Warby (1862) had her birth registered in Stourbridge District Oct-Dec quarter 1862. Her death was registered in Sutton Coldfield District Oct-Dec quarter 1945. She was unmarried. Elizabeth appears on the 1881 Census (Bessie) as aged 18 and living at 39 Hight Street, Kingswinford with her parents. In the 1901 Census (see below) she is living at 392 Aston Lane, Handsworth, Birmingham aged 38, unmarried and is living with her wodowed mother, Mary who is aged 69.

    (f) Harry Warby (1866) has no traced birth registration district.  He appears on the 1881 Census aged 15 at 39 High Street, Kingswinford. His occupation is given as Grocer Assistant. 

     (f)Ernest James Warby (1867-1936) had his birth registered in Stourbridge District Apr-June quarter 1867. His death was registered Sutton Coldfield districJul-Sep quarter 1936. Ernest married Lizzie Emma in 1891. In 1881 Ernest occupation was given as Grocers Assistant aged 13 living at 39 High Street, Kingswinford with his parents. In 1901 aged 33 his occupation was that of Grocer living at 127 Nechells Park Road, Aston, Birmingham.

    (f) Lawson Thomas Warby (1871-1935) birth was registered in Stourbridge District Apr-Jun quarter 1871. His death was registered in Sheffield District Jul-Sep quarter 1935. He married Annie Marie Barker (1872-1959) in 1895. In the 1881 Census he was aged 9 living at 39 High Street, Kingswinford and in 1901 he was aged 29 living at 81 Langsett Road, Nether Hallam, Sheffield with his wife and family.

HELP: There was another Lawson Thomas Warby born in the September quarter 1882 in Eccleshall B. Can anyone place who's son he was? Was he possibly the son of John Warby & his first wife Margaret ?
