Chettleburgh Census
This page details all census entries we have found relating to the Chettleburgh family.
These are transcribed as is (no extra information added) apart from "dittos" being expanded.
1911 Cricketers
In 1911 they were still at the The Cricketer's Arms.
| 1911, The Cricketer's Arms, Lindley Street, Norwich. | |||||
| Name | Relation | Status | Age | Profession | Birth Place |
| William Chettleburgh | Head | M | 73 | Licensed Victular | Lakenham, Norfolk |
| Sarah Ann Chettleburgh | Wife | M | 65 | - | Woodton, Norfolk |
| Ellen Betts | Daughter | M | 31 | Lakenham, Norfolk | |
| Robert Chettleburgh | Son | SIngle | 23 | Wood Box Maker | Lakenham, Norfolk |
| Edward A. Chettleburgh | Son | Single | 21 | Prentice to Motern | Lakenham, Norfolk |
| Ellen Lilian Betts | Granddaughter | Single | 1 | ||
William and Sarah Ann Chettleburgh are listed as having been married for 33 years. Sarah Ann is listed as having had 8 children in total, 5 of whom were still living in 1911, and 3 that had died.
The dwelling was listed as having 8 rooms.
1901 Cricketers
What were the Chettleburghs up to in 1901? Well I'm rapidly coming to the conclusion that Phoebe is in fact Annie (or Anna), as for the second census running she is (literally) no-where to be found, and yet there is someone of the right age (I think) in the house with her middle name... Also, I suspect an error in the census, as it says that all the children were born in Woodton. It actually just says "do do" under Sarah's birthplace, when I suspect that the "do do" dittos should correspond to William's Norwich, Norfolk.
Also, where was Robert for the 1891 census?
| 1901 - 67 Lindley St, Lakenham, Norwich (Old Lakenham) [PRO: RG13 Pc-1847 Fo-155 Pg-31] | |||||

1901 - 119 Wilderness King Street
But, bizarrely, there is another census entry in 1901 for a Ellen Chettleburgh, 21, born in Norwich, Norfolk:
| 1901 - 119 Wilderness King St, Norwich (Old Lakenham) [PRO: RG13 Pc-1841 Fo-59 Pg-45/46] | |||||
| Name | Relation | Status | Age | Profession | Birth Place |
| Sarah Chipperfield | Wife | M | 70 | On own means | Upton?, Norfolk |
| Maud Bunting | Grand Daughter | S | 18 | ??? | London |
| Ellen Chettleburgh | Boarder | S | 21 | Chocolate Packer | Norwich, Norfolk |
| Louisa Bowes | Visitor | - | 23 | Baker Breadmaker | Woodton, Norfolk* |
Normally, I wouldn't pay this any attention (it obviously can't be the same person). However, what are the chances of her staying with someone who's granddaughter (and hence son in law, since she is single) is called Bunting?
Could be a coincidence, but what if she was recorded twice (the census occurred over a space of time, or the landlady added her when she wasn't physically there?
Plus a visitor from the infinitely depopulated Woodton!
Hmm, more investigation required...
1891 - Cricketers Arms
What were the Chettleburghs up to in 1891?
| 1891 - Cricketers Arms, 67 Lindley St, Lakenham, Norwich (Old Lakenham)
Pro Ref: RG12 1525 Folio 53 Page 34 | |||||
| Name | Relation | Status | Age | Profession | Birth Place |
| William Chettleburgh | Head | M | 53 | Publican | Norwich, Norfolk |
| Sarah A. Chettleburgh | Wife | M | 45 | - | Woodton, Norfolk |

| Ruth Dowe | Visitor | Widow | 48 | Nurse | Swaithsthorpe, Nfk |
| Emily Brown | Visitor | S | 10 | Scholar | Swaithsthorpe, Nfk |
Again, in the above census entry we have the right family, but the person we are looking for, Phoebe Chettleburgh is not listed, and at age 7 she is unlikely to be having a date with James!
1881 - Lakenham - William Chittleburgh
How about 10 years previously in 1881? Well, they've been recorded (or transcribed) as Chittleburgh's, but they're still recognisable:
| 1881 - Lakenham, Norfolk (PRO: RG11, Piece: 1945, Folio: 9, Page 11 | |||||

We have two more elder siblings Mary A. and William, who must have left home before the 1891 census. The address for the above is not given (apart from Lakenham) however nearby returns are for The Cock Public House and the Villa Public House which are both in Old Lakenham (although their entry is on the other side of the Cock).
1871 - Lakenham - William Chettleburgh
In 1871 William is living in"Old" Lakenham - again the exact address is unknown although Lakenham Road is given, but it is on the same census return page as the The Cock Public house in Lakenham.

In 1871 Uncle William is still a butler for the Cresswell family, back in King's Lynn, in somewhere called "Market Place" between "Tuesday Market" and "Ferry Street".

1861 - Lakenham - William Chettleburgh
In 1861 William is living in Kensington Road, Lakenham - again the exact address is unknown although it was 7 entries away from The Cock Public house in "Old" Lakenham. The census entries are between "Martineau's Lane" and "Long John's Hill".

1861 - Lakenham - Sarah Simmons/Chettleburgh
In 1861 Sarah Simmonds is living in Kensington Road, Lakenham, next to the "Kensington Gardens Public House", her husband was working at the Yarn Mills that night.
The Old Manor House was called "Kensington Gardens" for a while (see www.norwich.gov.uk/download/downloads/id/3012/old_lakenham_conservation_area_appraisal.pdf)

1861 - City Road, Norwich - Robert Chettleburgh
In 1861 Elizabeth Chettleburgh is living with her son Robert at No. 18, City Road, Norwich, which is in "New" Lakenham, near Ber Street.

1851 - William Chettleburgh, Lakenham
What about in 1851? William Chettleburgh appears nowhere in 1851... However, it appears that his mother Sarah Chettleburgh married Charles Simmons in 1847, and for the 1851 census William was recorded with the last name Simmons by mistake. He was living with his mother and new step father in Lakenham Road.

| William Simmons | Son | Unmarried | 13 | Woolcomber | Lakenham, Norwich, Norfolk |
However I believe I have a better candidate for his brother and mother in two adjacent entries in "New" Lakenham (City Road is near Ber Street):

1851 - William Chittleburgh (Uncle/Butler)
Here is a William Chittleburgh, who I believe is the Uncle who later in life was living with the other William Chettleburgh at The Cricketer's Arms (the age is about right):

1841 - Old Lakenham - William Chettleburgh
In 1841 William is only 3 years old and living in Old Lakenham, only two entries away from "Mill". Note: ages above 15 are rounded to the nearest 5 years in the 1841 census.

1841 - King's Lynn - William Chettleburgh (Uncle)
In 1841 William's uncle is a male servant living at King's Staith Square, King's Lynn working for Francis Cresswell. The household appears to be quarters for servants attached to Francis Cresswell's house. Among those staying with William is Jemima Gooden, his future wife.

Other Records
1851 - Topcroft
As yet unlinked census entries:

| Marianne Chittleburgh | Daughter | U | 16 | Ag. Labourer | Topcroft, Norfolk |
| William Chittleburgh | GSon | U | 12 | Ag. Lab. Daug. | Topcroft, Norfolk |
The above is a possible, however, the birthplace is given as Topcroft, not Norwich, also who is the parent as none of the above are married? Also the birth year is 1839, not 1838. Thirdly, the absent father's brother is called William Chettleburgh (born in 1833), so it is unlikely that another uncle with the same name would be born in 1812.
