Rebecca Cheney (1832 - 1912?) Part 2

1851 Census


During this time as mentioned elsewhere Rebecca was working at Soulbury Manor House, she can be seen on the 11th line down at 55 Broad Oak, now this maybe part of the manor. Rebecca is aged 19 and is listed as a servant.
Also on this census is Samuel, the writing could indicate his surname as Row, but in fact it was Rowe, he is aged 21 and also listed as a servant.
Those listed as a servant are in the column of 'relation to head' a column saying ' rank, profession or occupation' shows what they actual did at the Manor House, for Rebecca it's hard to see what the first work says, but I'm guessing it says 'all work'.
For Samuel it sort of reads 'cow man' ?? 'common one' ?? 'cow' something, you have go.
This is where Rebecca and Samuel met for the first time.

They married either 1st October that year (1851) in Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire or more likely 11th October in Solbury, Buckinghamshire.
During there marriage they had 8 children (see separate post for these) and on 1st June 1874 Samuel died (cause unknown)
Rebecca then re married in 1882 to Jonathan Windmill (1825-1898) Jonathan was the father of Rebecca's daughter-in-law Annie Windmill who married Robert Rowe, Samuel and Rebecca's son.

Confused...you will be

I intend to search out more census to trace Rebecca through to 1912, if in fact that was when she died.
