Notes for a biography of Harriet Eliza Paver (1855-1914)Joseph Paver 1824-18 January 1893. Born Hull, 1824 (father John Paver, Lighterman/Rope maker). 1851 census, Northampton All Saints, Northampton Borough. p.1d49 1851 census, Northampton All Saints, Northampton Borough. p.1d50 Note on Campleman. Sarah Shaw's first husband was John Campleman, and they were married in Northampton on 17 November 1849. His occupation is given as Seed crusher, and the uncommon name Campleman is from South East Yorkshire, including Hull. A John Campleman was born in Hull at about the same time as Joseph Paver, so it is possible the two were friends and both moved to Northampton and married there. Joseph was in Hammersmith, London by 1853 when he married Rebecca Greenway, and the Camplemans had a daughter Emily born in Hammersmith on 18 May 1855. It appears that Joseph Paver spent his last years married to the widow of his oldest friend. Harriet Eliza PAVER, daughter of Joseph Paver (1824-1893) and Rebecca Greenway (1834-1869), was born on 20th April 1855 at Beavor Lane in Hammersmith. Her older sister, Rebecca, who had been born in 1854, died at the age of 4, in 1858, from pneumonia. Her father, Joseph is the informant, and he describes himself as a laborer (sic), Oil Mills, and the address is Marsh Gate Lane, Stratford. When Harriet's brother Frank Sidney Paver was born on the 23rd September 1859, the family were still living in Marsh Gate Lane, Stratford. His father, Joseph, is described as foreman to oil presser. In the 1861 census, the Pavers are in Marshgate Lane, Seed Crushing Mills. 1861 census Camplemans, 1 Albert? Terrace, Hammersmith The family moved shortly after to Rotherhithe, Surrey, where Rebecca Paver died on the 14th September 1869 from phthisis at the age of 35. The family address is 163 Rotherhithe Street, and Joseph Paver, the informant, and widower, is described as factory foreman. Joseph married Sarah Campleman on 6th March 1870. The Emily Paver below, is her daughter from her first marriage, properly Emily Campleman. 1871 census: 163 Rotherhithe Street, Rotherhithe. Harriet Eliza (she is known by both names separately on different occasions) married Alfred Jeffery, a widower, on 1 February 1880 in Christ Church, Rotherhithe. He gives his address as 20 Yardley Street, Clerkenwell, (Wilmington Arms, in Rosebery Avenue), and occupation as Licensed victualler. Her address is 480 Rotherhithe Street. The witnesses are Joseph Paver (her father or brother) and Rebecca Paver, her sister. Alfred Jeffery, son of Charles Jeffery ( - ) and Sarah Marshall (1799- ), was born on 2 May 1845 in St Pancras, Middlesex. 1881 census: 480 Rotherhithe Street South Side, Rotherhithe, Surrey 1881 Census: 20 (Yardley Street) Wilmington Arms, (Clerkenwell), Middlesex. 1881 census: 172 Southwark Bridge Rd., Southwark, Surrey Alfred died on 13 August 1882 at the Wilmington Arms, Yardley Street at the age of 37. He'd had diarrhoea and vomiting for 5 days, delirium tremens for 36 hours, and convulsions for 5 minutes. H.E. Jeffery, widow of the deceased and present at the death, was the informant. On the 8th July 1883 Harriet was present at the death of Charles James Puzey at 1 Jacob Street, Bermondsey. She is described as his sister-in-law, though he was the husband of her step-sister Emily Campleman. He died from phthisis pulmonalis, age 28 and is described as a licensed victualler. (His father had been a licensed victualler too, in 1871 at the World's End in Chelsea.) Emily was 8 months pregnant at the time, and gave birth to their son, Charles James on 4th August 1883 at presumably the same address, but now called The Stone Porters, Jacob Street. Harriet was herself already pregnant with her first child Charles Frank Murray, son of Charles Frederick Murray, who was born on 21 January 1884 at 60 Canterbury Road, in Greenwich, Surrey. I wonder if Charles Frederick was also living at this establishment, and kept it running as a public house after Charles Puzey's death? Emily Puzey re-married (Thomas Mason) and in 1901 is the widow of a publican and is a patient in a hospital for women on census night. Harriet married Charles Frederick Murray on 23 March 1884 in All Saints, Hatcham, Surrey. They both give their address as 60 Canterbury Road, and the witnesses are Joseph Paver (Harriet's father or brother) and Frank Sidney Paver (her brother). Charles Frederick Murray, son of Charles Henry Murray (1816-1891) and Caroline Augusta Milleman (1822-1887), was born on 14 July 1844 in Blackheath Hill, Greenwich. He was christened on 27 October 1844 in Greenwich, and is described as an engineer. Catherine Murray was born on 29 March 1886. In 1887 Charles and Harriet are the witnesses to the marriage of her brother Frank Sidney Paver to Elizabeth Monk at St Paul's Church, Newington, Surrey. Frank and Elizabeth give 1 Olney Street as their residence at the time of marriage, and his occupation is tram conductor. Sarah Paver (nee Shaw, formerly Campleman, Harriet's step-mother) died at the beginning of 1888 at the age of 58. George Henry Murray was born on 4 October 1888, and died before 1891. 1891 Census: 1 Olney Street, Walworth Joseph Henry Murray was born on 2 November 1891 at 1 Olney Street in Walworth. Meanwhile in 1891 Harriet’s father Joseph – now a widower with no occupation and aged 66 - was living at 110 Old Woolwich Rd, Greenwich with his son Frank and his wife Lizzie (Elizabeth Monk, born Newport Pagnell, c1867), and their son Frank, aged 2, and born Greenwich. Harriet and Charles Frederick Murray are beneficiaries under the will of Charles Henry Murray who died in December 1891. Charles Frederick Murray died on the 19th June 1892 at the Queen's Arms Tavern, Court Hill, Lewisham. He was 45, a beer retailer and engine fitter, and died from heart disease and exhaustion. Harriet Eliza, widow of the deceased and present at the death, of the same address, is the informant. Harriet moved in fairly quickly with Frederick Riley Ingersoll. He was the son of Kemsey Ingersoll (1820-1869) and Fanny Divall (1816-1885), and was born on 26 August 1857 in Lee, Lewisham, Kent. Emma Eliza Ingersoll was born on 24 May 1894 at 3 Nightingale Grove, Hither Green. Her mother's name is given as Eliza Ingersoll, late Murray, formerly Pavor. The informant was F. Ingersoll, father of the same address, gardener (domestic). 1901 Census: 27 Holbeach Rd., Catford, Lewisham (St. Laurence) Frederick and [Harriet] Eliza finally married on 22nd January 1906 at St Luke's Deptford. They are both aged 48, and give different addresses - his is 22 Windale Rd., and hers is 169 Sanders Rd. Catford. His profession is now gravedigger and his father Kemsey has been posthumously promoted to Veterinary Surgeon. Joseph, Harriet's father has become a Foreman at a Cotton Mill. Just goes to show how reliable these certificates are! Her sister Rebecca and her husband James Page are the witnesses. They must have had another daughter born after the 1901 census as my mother in her memoirs referred to her father's step-sisters, and Emma Ingersoll died in 1904. Harriet died from cardiac myasthenia on 26 January 1914 in Lewisham Union Infirmary. Her address is given as 4 Engleheart Road, Catford, and she is described as the wife of Frederick Ingersoll, grave-digger. The informant is C. F. Murray, her son, also of 4 Engleheart Rd., Catford, and he was my mother's father. He married on 4 Jan 1914 : Nellie Erehn Molnar,at St Laurence, Catford, Lewisham, London. He gives his age as 29, Greengrocer, residence 4 Engleheart Road. parents of Nellie Murray 24 May 1916-25 March 1998 |
