4 Samuel KILBOURN 1823-1896

 

 

1m Mary Ann LACK 1846; 2m Susannah Speakman SMITH 1848

 

 

 

 

Samuel was born, married and died in the East End, though he moved frequently - twelve different addresses are known during his life.  He was baptised at Shoreditch in 1823 where his father was a carman.  Samuel also tried his hand as a carman for a short period, but was a butcher of Shoreditch aged 22 when he married Mary LACK.

 

Within a year of the marriage however, his wife died of puerperal fever after giving birth to a daughter who also died; mother and daughter died at the Ship, Boundary St.  Two months later, both of Samuel's parents died of asthma - four deaths within 3 months.

 

A year later, Samuel, now a carman, married Susanna SMITH.  Nine children were born in Bethnal Green between 1849 and 1868 during which time Samuel was a cabinet-maker, a boxmaker, a carpenter and a labourer.  In 1877, his second wife died of peritonitis and Samuel and two unmarried daughters went to live with his married daughter Frances SHORT.

 

Samuel, now a dock carpenter, and still living with an unmarried daughter, died in 1896 aged 74.

BIRTH

 

from census and m cert, Samuel was born at Spitalfields c.1823; father: Samuel, carman.  There is only one suitable C in London IGI; this is at St Leonard's Shoreditch and fits perfectly:

 

C 3Feb1823 b 13Jan1823 Samuel s Samuel & Martha KILBURN, Webb Square, carman

 

 

MARRIAGE

 

Frances KILBOURN-3 was born in 1850, daughter of Samuel and Susannah Speakman SMITH.  This unusual forename Speakman identifies the following marriage certificate for her parents:

 

m 18Jul1848 Samuel KILBOURN wdr, full age, carman of 21 Brunswick St & Susannah X SMITH spr full age of 21 Brunswick St

                    fa: Samuel KILBOURN dec carman; Francis Speakman SMITH grocer; wit: James SWEET; Harriet GROVE; at St Mary Haggerstone after banns

 

Samuel KILBOURN was a widower and this marriage is preceded by another at the same church:

 

m 5Jan1846 Samuel KILBOURN bch full butcher of 29 Ann's Ct, Shoreditch & Mary Ann LACK spr full

                    fa: Samuel KILBOURN carman; Charles LACK printer; wi: William PIKE, Harriet EAST; at St Mary Haggerstone after banns

 

[Ann's Ct written against groom, Shoreditch against bride; probably both at same address]

[Samuel's half-sister Mary married Charles PIKE in 1827 but their son William was bap 1839 so is unlikely to be the witness]

 

It seems probable that this is the same Samuel despite the change of address and occupation; but this could be accounted for by the fact that Samuel's father, the carman, died 25Dec846 (between the two marriages) and the son could have taken over his father's trade.  Confirmation is given by the death certificate of Samuel's first wife, Mary Ann and the death of their child:

 

d  1Nov1846 Mary Ann KILBOURN female 19 at The Ship, Boundary St; wife of Samuel KILBOURN butcher;  purpureal fever 5 days

r  5Nov1846 at Holywell and Moorfields, Shoreditch MDX by Samuel KILBOURN of the Ship, Boundary St pad.

 

d  8Nov1846 Mary Elizabeth KILBOURN female 14days dau of Samuel KILBOURN butcher at The Ship, Boundary St;  irritation of bowels
