Noah Hughes

Other Events:

• Occupation: Ag, Labourer, then Groom, finally Fishmonger

Notes:

In the 1911 census he said he was married for 52 years, had 11 children of which 2 died.
The census was filled in by A E Thompson(?) because he was blind - but is alone in the household. Ellen had only just died.

Noah married Ellen Norris on 1 Nov 1858 (Church, Banns) in Canterbury, Kent, England. Ellen (daughter of William Norris and Eliza Pope) was born on 7 Feb 1838 in Canterbury, Kent, England; died on 29 Mar 1911 in 16, Newton St, Shoreditch, London, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Married:
Ellen Norris and the witnesses William Norris and Sarah Ann Norris made their mark - ie could not write, but Noah signed. Interesting that the witnesses were both Norris - no relative of Noah.

They were both 'of full age' and not previously married. He was a coachman and lived in Lamb Lane, father Stephen who was a labourer. She lived in All Saints Lane, father William who was a hostler (ostler maybe?). They were married in the parish church of All Saints in Canterbury.

Notes:

There's a long gap between the first two children and the other three. Possibly Stephen and James were children of a previous marriage.

Stephen married Sarah Carden. Sarah was born about 1796 in Chislett, Kent, England; was christened on 19 Nov 1797 in Chislett, Kent, England; died on 2 Mar 1876 in Saint Lawrence, Isle of Thanet, Kent, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

The 1861 and 1871 census entries are speculative until Stephen's death is established. He doesn't appear himself in 1861, and there are two possible deaths in Thanet between 1851 and 1861. The 1871 census entry is especially uncertain since Ancestry doesn't show if it was St Laurence parish in Thanet or some other one.

Stephen married Mary Ingleton on 26 Jul 1777 in Chislet, Kent, England.. Mary was born about 1757 in Chislet, Kent, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
