1901 Census – Charles Sunter

May 25, 2009, Tim Sunter, 1901, Charles Sunter, Dorothy Sunter, Edward Sunter, Gertrude Sunter, Joseph Sunter, Olive J Sunter, William Sunter, , 1

1901 Census which shows that Charles Sunter is aged 19, a railway Stoker, and living at 5 Victoria Street, Thornaby. 

Thornaby is in Stockport and just to the South East of Unicorn Yard and Brunswick Street.  I cannot find Victoria Street on Google Earth although there is a Victoria Road.

The household is composed of:

• Jane A Sunter, head, widow, 57, Leadgale
• William Sunter, stepson, single, 29, Labourer Iron Works, Yorkshire Heights Swaledale
• Charles Sunter, son, single, 19, Railway Engin (sic) Stoker, Howden Le Wear
• Dorothy Sunter, daughter, 13, Yorkshire Redcar
• Gertrude Sunter, daughter, 11, Yorkshire Redcar
• Olive J Sunter, daughter, 10, Stockton
• Joseph Sunter, son, 6, Thornaby
• Edward Sunter, son, 3, Thornaby

So it seems that:

Jane A Sunter is my great grandmother. 

Her husband had been in a relationship before and had a son William c1871. 

Her husband had died within the last 4 years (Edward is 3). 

The family had been living in Howden Le Wear 19 years ago, Redcar 10-13 years ago, Stockton 9-10 years ago and then Thornaby for the last 6-7 years.
