Sixth Generation

103. Charles Sales was born about 1807 in Goudhurst, Kent.²¹⁰ Originally had this Charles also as a separate record with a birthdate of 1811 as a son of George and Elizabeth, which was take from the IGI. The LDS contributor had assumed that he was born in Lamberhurst, Sussex, but the 1841 census shows him as not being born in Sussex. However, the 1851 census shows his birthplace as Goudhurst. He is there in the 1841 and 1851 censuses with his wife and children, so this all ties in nicely. In 1828 he was a labourer in Lamberhurst, Kent.²¹¹ In 1838 he was a labourer in Lamberhurst, Kent.²¹² On 6 Jun 1841 he was an agricultural labourer in Lamberhurst, Sussex.²¹³ In 1845 he was a labourer in Lamberhurst, Kent.²¹⁴ In 1847 he was a shopkeeper in Lamberhurst, Kent.²¹⁵ In 1849 he was a bunshopkeeper in Lamberhurst, Kent.²¹⁶ He was also known as Charles Sale on 30 Mar 1851.²¹⁰ He is recorded as married. On 30 Mar 1851 he was a beer retailer in Lamberhurst, Sussex.²¹⁰ On 2 Apr 1857 he was a labourer in Lamberhurst, Kent.²¹⁷ He not in 1861 census - was he at war in 1861 in unknown. He appeared in the census on 2 Apr 1871 in Ticehurst Union Workhouse.²¹⁸ On 2 Apr 1871 he was an agricultural labourer in Ticehurst Union Workhouse.²¹⁸ He died in 1871 in Ticehurst Registration District, Kent, Sussex.²¹⁹ (June quarter.)

Charles Sales and Eleanor Tolhurst were married on 28 Nov 1826 in Lamberhurst, Kent.²²⁰ They appeared in the census on 6 Jun 1841 in Lamberhurst Down, Lamberhurst, Sussex.²¹³ They appeared in the census on 30 Mar 1851 in Down, Lamberhurst, Sussex.²¹⁰ Eleanor Tolhurst (daughter of John Tolhurst and Hannah) was born before 17 Jan 1808 in Lamberhurst, Sussex.²¹⁰ She was baptized on 17 Jan 1808 in St Mary, Lamberhurst, Kent.²²¹ She was also known as Ellen Tolhurst on 28 Nov 1826.²²⁰ Her true name was Eleanor, so the vicar must have made a mistake. All other records show her as Eleanor. This is taken from her marriage with Charles Sale. She was also known as Elenor Sale on 30 Mar 1851.²¹⁰ She appeared in the census on 7 Apr 1861 in Village, Lamberhurst, Sussex.²²² Noted as married, but she is not with her husband (see also the fact that Charles her husband died in 1871). On 7 Apr 1861 she was a housekeeper in Lamberhurst, Sussex.²²² She worked for Thomas Boakes. She appeared in the census on 2 Apr 1871 in Village, Lamberhurst, Sussex.²²³ As well as three lodgers (a family, Nicholas Whiteman, his wife and son), Eleanor cared for two "nurse children", who for whatever reason could not be cared for by their own family. These were Eva Mary fly, and Cecil May Fly, presumably sister and brother. Eleanor's husband was in Ticehurst Union Workhouse at this date. On 2 Apr 1871 she was a grocer in Lamberhurst, Sussex.²²³ She appeared in the census on 3 Apr 1881 in Village, Lamberhurst, Sussex.²²⁴ (No occupation.) She died in 1887 in Tunbridge Registration District, Kent.²²⁵ (June quarter.) Her recorded age at death was 82, which would make her year of birth 1805, which is possible, but not necessarily true.
