Queen Street, Penzance, 1881 Census

I was just idly doing some census searching for Bennett and Susan Drew, 1881. And there, on one page, in 4 neighbouring houses, we had a roll call of Drews. James Harvey BENNETTS and wife Francis Maria Drew KIDD were in number 34. Francis Maria KIDD nee DREW and son Joseph Drew KIDD were in number 35; Francis Maria was, of course, mother of Francis Maria Drew KIDD. Bennett and Susan DREW were in number 33, with unmarried sons Thomas and Joseph (both of whom apparently died soon after). Then, in number 32, was another son, Robert DREW with his wife Sarah POLLARD and their blind son Robert.

Certainly makes census transcription easier when they are all together in a bunch like that!

In 1871:

31 Queen Street : Bennett, Agnes and Marianna (Mary Hannah)
32 Queen Street: Robert, Sarah and baby Robert
33 Queen Street: Bennett, Susan, Thomas, Joseph and Henry
35 Queen Street: Jonathon Kidd, Francis and Joseph
Eliza J Hore, Dressmaker, was in #34.
