A couple of weeks ago I asked this question on the London----------

1851 census Ancestry has Fredk Wentay 39 but he is 34 and is a Schoolmaster from Marylebone.
He is a visitor at my great grand mother's Ann King
This Wentay is the only time the name appears anywhere in Ancestry
1851 HO107; Piece: 1493; Folio: 943; Page: 68; GSU roll: 87822-87823.
Can you tell me what the surname is? Please!
Fredk is involved in research into Wm and Ann KING's family see King

Re Mr. WENTAY in 1841 - one of life's little dilemmas!! The transcription looks pretty right

And a kind of consensus was that the writing was WENTAY but that the enumerator got it wrong 

So it is WENTAY BUT It wasn't 

I was looking at 1861 marriage of Jane KING ../Eagle/1861JohnEAGLEmarriage.htm
and a witness was Samuel King who I did not know 

So as marriage was in Greenwich I looked for him locally and there he was stepson to Fredk Dinsey - with his obvious mother Ann Dinsey - and of course there is a marriage for Ann King to Fredk - I had not thought that was my g2gm as I assumed she was deceased - and daughter Matilda was living in the St Pancras house in 1861. As Jane's spouse was also in Kent I now understand that was how they found each other - Fredk DINSEY was a schoolmaster and gave that up to become a Collector of Debts and that job was Greenwich. Thank you Fredk you certainly contributed to me eventually being here. 

Fredk also appears in 1871 living with Matilda back in St Pancras - Ann died in 1869

And re-visiint the I can see looking at 1861 Dinsey how in 1851 the W was a D and how the s looked like a t and how easy it is for e to be i or i to be e and also a mix up with e 

To see DINSEY in 1861 click this one

I can see looking at 1861 Dinsey how in 1851 the W was a D and how the s looked like a t and how easy it is for e to be i or i to be e and also a mix up with e 

Could you also please look at Susannah and check her age for me - is it 8

and have a look at the perhaps same Fredk as found in 1841 below

I cannot see a birth for her and Yet I can find Samuel

Now Susannah is with mother in 1851 but not found in 1861

Samuel is with mother in 1861 but nowhere in 1851 Samuel  King Births Sep 1842   St Pancras  1 284 

no deaths for Lydia KING in Pancras and Marylebone up to 1851

She is not at home at 1851 
and this is only one I can see - I suppose it is likely her
Lydia Ann King  abt 1830  Lambeth, Surrey, England Servant  Hampstead  Middlesex  working for the Bakewell's

Marriages are prolematic
