Re: Hirschfeld Family
In Response To: Hirschfeld Family ()

I have found the family on 1861,71,81,91 and 1901 Census and can email the images to you if you wish. In 1861 daughter Sarah is Sarah McKerrell aged 4 (only one born IOM) together with siblings, Fanny Alice aged 15, Flora Emily aged 12, John Charles 13 and Mary Jane aged 16, Father Philip Charles aged 54 born Tyrol (but says alongside that he has resided in Gt Britain for over 45 years) and his wife Sarah McKennell aged 50 (born Paisley Scotland) in Albert Terrace.
In 1871 along with Philip and Sarah there are only two still at home, Sarah and Mary Jane (teacher). His place of birth has been transcribed as Vorarlberg and he has been in Gt Britain since 1829.
In 1881 Philip is aged 75, Annuitant, POB Tyrol naturalized, wife Sarah 69, daughter Sarah 24 and daughter in law Jane 39, widowed, visitor born Aberdeen.
1891 still at Albert Terrace Sarah aged 79 widowed living on her own means, daughter Sarah McK aged 34 and Jane DIL,widowed, aged 48.
1901 Sarah is only one left. Name is either Hirschfeld or Hirschfield. As Frances says can see no burials on Brian Lawsons site that are even remotely like the surname.
There is a mention of a will however for Sarah Hirschfield 1891 reference 1950106513 which if you obtain may give you more names to work on for any descendants of hers.
Good luck
