Hi Dawn,

Frederick Whitfield RALFE Widower aged 42 b.Ramsey was alive in Wales for the 1881 census! (See previous message.) Was it his wife who died in 1874?

Did Catherine Hester Ralfe also live in the IoM, do you know? I couldn't see her in the IoM censuses I checked.
Finally found in the 1851 census at Islington, Manor of Barnsbury, 4 Belitha Villas: Catherine H Ralfe, Niece aged 18 b. Cork Bantry Ireland, in the household of Charles Hawthor(n?) ag. 42 "Gentleman (Inland Revenue)" b.Cumberland Whitehaven, and his wife Catherine ag. 40 b. Kent New Romney, and family.
