Family History, Boxall Chart 0505 Richard (Boral) Boxall and Elizabeth Cover

1841 Census - Witley, Surrey. William and Hannah and just Richard, so assume he was the eldest child. 1851 Census - Witley, Surrey. but this time Richard is down as being born in Epsom, Surrey. Father is a William BOXALL aged 30 a Shoemaker born Dunsfold, Surrey and his wife is a Hannah aged 31 born Peper Harow, Surrey, so I do think this is the correct family. There were four other children and they are all down as being born in Witley, Surrey, so I would think that was where Richard thought he was born. (still to find on 1861 Census, but he was married by then to Elizabeth, and not at home, so might not appear on that census as he was in Singapore in 1871.1871 Census - Royal Navy Vessels, Barrosa, Singapore Straits Settlement (so we have found him in the Navy, (birth place as Willey, Surrey on this one) 1881 Census - Victoria Cottage, Highland Road, Portsea, Portsmouth, Hampshire (success at last and the name is BOXALL, Richard is down as being born in Wickley, Surrey, but I think this should be Witley. Elizabeth and Emily are down as being born in Upper Harow, but again I think this should be Peper Harow. Alfred is down as being born in Southsea, but near enough for Portsmouth in the 1871 so I am 100 per cent certain this is the correct family. They had also had a son Harry 8 down as being born in Elsted, Surrey, and another son William aged 2 down as being born in Southsea, Hampshire. Emily is down as a General Servant, Alfred as an Errand Boy. 1901 Census - Castle Hill, St Thomas, Winchester, Hampshire. They had a servant, a Kate SMEETH, aged 17 and a visitor, I assume her sister, Alice SMEETH with them. Since putting this Chart on I have increased the information about the "BOXALL" family and they all appear to come from the Witley area of Surrey, however at present I have not been able to connection Richard's father William born about 1821 in Dunsfold to any other members of the family. 1841 Census - Peper Harow, Surrey (next property says Royal Common). 1851 Census - Royal Common, Peper Harow, Surrey. 1861 Census - Royal Common, Peper Harow, Surrey. Elizabeth is down on this Census as unmarried and as a House Servant but there are two grandchildren with William and Elizabeth as well as their daughter Elizabeth, Hyland COVER aged 13 born Thursely, Surrey and infant COVER, aged under 1 month born Peper Harow, Surrey. I would think that infant Cover is Emily shown as 10 on the 1871 Census and on the BMD there is a birth for a Emily COVER in March quarter of 1861 in Hambledon district, Surrey. 1871 Census - Pond Cottage, Peper Harow, Surrey. As well as Emily aged 10 as a daughter, born Peper Harow, there is an Alfred, grandson, aged 4 a Scholar, born Portsmouth, Hampshire. Elizabeth, Emily and Alfred all appear to have the name "BORAL", but Elizabeth is down as the daughter of William and Elizabeth and is not down as wife but as daughter. Having been given the clue of Portsmouth for Alfred, I think that the name BORAL should be BOXALL, as that runs in the family and that Elizabeth COVER married a Richard BOXALL in the September quarter of 1866 in the Portsea district of Hampshire. I would think that Richard was a seaman, hence the reason we keep finding Elizabeth with her parents in Peper Harow. 1881 Census - Victoria Cottage, Highland Road, Portsea, Portsmouth, Hampshire (success at last and the name is BOXALL, Richard is down as being born in Wickley, Surrey, but I think this should be Witley.

Emily is down as a General Servant, Alfred as an Errand Boy. 1891 Census - County Hall, Castle Hill, Winchester, Surrey. Elizabeth, 50 born Peper Harow, Harry 18 born Elsted, Surrey, Solicitors Clerk, and William 12 born Southsea, Hampshire, proves we have the right family as per 1881 Census, but Richard this time puts himself as being born in Isleworth, Surrey. Out of the Navy he is a County Hall Keeper in Winchester. 1901 Census - Castle Hill, St Thomas, Winchester, Hampshire. They had a servant, a Kate SMEETH, aged 17 and a visitor, I assume her sister, Alice SMEETH with them. IGI Baptism. 1861 Census - Royal Common, Peper Harow, Surrey.

The idea of these charts is to give the information that we have found in the research we have done and put together and with the help of many other people who have contacted us over the past thirty odd years we have been researching our family. The idea is that you click on the Chart box in blue to be taken to the next family. There is now a large number of charts to be found and connections can be made to all the main families I am researching. If a chart has a box with the standard background it means that as yet I have not put the Chart on the Web.
To conform to the Data Protection Act all the Charts have been altered to exclude all details for living people other than the name.
