Cicely and Ernest Luas -Family Tree

To illustrate the people mentioned in Cicely's Memoir.
The Neale Family Tree


Ernest Lucas Family Tree

Some On-line search results.(1881,1891,1901 and 1911 census records)
Cicely Anne Neale.  Born 1879 - Stoneleigh/Westwood died 1970 in Lewisham, London. In 1901, aged 22, she is recorded as a school mistress.

Edwin Neale. Born 1846 in Chetnole, Dorset, Died 1941 in Warwickshire. In 1851 as a 4 year old, he is described as a carpenter's son (Dorset). In 1861, aged 13, recorded as pupil teacher in Somerset.  In 1871 he is living with his sister on the Bristol Road in Highbridge, Somerset and is a school master. I wonder whether their parents have died.  He is recorded as school master until 1901.  Then becomes a Contractors Clerk returning to Dorset. In 1911 Edwin is back in Warwickshire aged 64 and is living off private means.  Interestingly Chetnole is a very small village, but it has a Neal's Lane.  On Neal's Lane there is a listed House called 'Carpenters'.

Cecil Neale.  Born 1875 died 1951 in Warwickshire, Stratford Upon Avon. A pupil teacher in 1891 and school master in 1901.  In 1911 this becomes Frad Teacher (Could be Head Teacher?)

Christopher William Neale.  Born 1882 is in Dorset in 1901 as a journeyman wheelwright.  In 1911 he is a carpenter in Dorset.

In 1939 I glean that Cicely and Ernest lived in the District of Stratford Upon Avon (Claverdon) with two other anonymous names mentioned.

Cicely and Ernest Lucas do not appear on the 1911 census.  This could be because they had moved to France.  However I note that there was a Suffragette campaign at the time to boycott the 1911 census.

Brother Eustace- emigrated to America with the watchmaking industry.

Ernest (born 1878) has the name Lucas in 1901, and recorded as a 23 year old Wine Merchants Clerk from Coventry.

The records show an Ernest Medwyn Orton married a Cicely Neale in 1902 in Worcestershire.  Cicely says she was 21 when she was married, not 23 as this would indicate.  Birmingham was in Worcestershire at the time though.
