The Salmon family
Posted: Sun Jan 27, 2019 7:48 pm
My third great-grandfather Philip Salmon (1781-1853) was tenant farmer at Ball's Farm on the 1851 census.
His father (1751-1817, born at Alphamstone) and son were also both called Philip (1816-1880), and were local too.
My great grandfather Joel Henry (1855-1936, son of the last Philip) was born at Wormingford. By the time of the 1871 census, the family - Philip, wife Eliza and son J Henry - had moved to Mitcham, Surrey, where they stayed. My nan Ethel was born and brought up in Croydon, as was my mum
The Salmons seem to go back further in the Mount Bures area, but I'm still researching that. If anyone would like more information or detail, I'd be happy to pass it on - and I'd love to receive any thoughts anyone else has.
