    • Census: 1891, 51 Limehouse Causeway, Tower Hamlets, London, England

    • Occupation: 2 Apr 1911, Barking, Essex, England; Undertaker's Coachman

    Notes:

    Occupation:
    Here we have more evidence of a life of hard work. At 77 Benjamin is still working, as an Undertaker's Coachman. Assuming that all he did was drive the coach, this is possibly not so physically demanding as an Agricultural Labourer, although with the busiest time of an Undertaker's year being winter, driving a coach in all weathers cannot have been much fun.

    Just under two years after the 1911 Census Benjamin is dead. No retirement for him

    Benjamin married Maria (Bristow) in Jul 1862 in Hartley Wintney, Hampshire, England. Maria was born about 1836; died between Apr 1901 and Apr 1911. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    Notes:

    George H appears on the 1891 Census as grandson of Benjamin Bristow. I have assigned him as George's son because he is listed as a Bristow and because he shares the same name which was a common practice. But this doesn't mean he necessarily WAS George's son. He could just as easily have been Elizabeth's. She was of child-bearing age and it wouldn't have been the first time that a daughter's pregnancy had been hushed up.
