Census Data

The 1841 Census is the only one which gives Matthew and Lucy at the same address and the assumption that they are a married couple is based solely on that. However, Lucy also appears on a second census return for that year living separately to Matthew. Nearly all the other census returns on which Lucy appears, until her death in 1882, list her as a visitor or as a relative staying with the home owner. From 1861 onwards, Lucy is listed as a widow.

Matthew is listed as living in Lenton and the neighbouring district of Radford. Rolleston, where Lucy was born, is 15 miles north-east of Nottingham. In 1851, she is listed as being at Weir Mill in Linby, 9 miles north of Nottingham. Both locations were linked to Nottingham via the railway by the mid 1850s. In the remaining censuses, Lucy is listed in Nottingham and Lenton.

The spelling of "Reville" varies from census to census and, in some cases, it is difficult to read the exact spelling from the handwriting.

1841

There are two separate census returns listing Lucy. Firstly with Matthew and then separately with her other children.

• address: "facing the long row", Lenton
• Matthew Reavill (aged 40) — occupation: "lace m" (presumably "lace maker")
• Lucy Reavill (aged 40)
• Elizabeth Reavill (aged 7)
• Ann Buckle (aged 33) — occupation: lace maker

It's unclear exactly what relationship the seven people have, but it seems probable that Mary Barker (b. ~1761) might be the mother or aunt of Lucy and Edward.

• address: Rollestone
• Mary Barker (aged 80)
• Edward Barker (aged 35)
• Hannah Wilson (aged 40)
• Robert Revill (aged 15) — son
• Lucy Revill (aged 40) — mother, occupation: milliner(?)
• Sarah Revill (aged 13) — daughter
• George Revill (aged 3) — son

1851

Note that Elizabeth, who was in Rolleston with Lucy in 1841, is now with Matthew. Lucy is listed as being in Linby.

• address: 38 Lenton Row, Nottingham
• Matthew Revill (aged 55) — head, occupation: machine owner
• Robert Revill (aged 24) — son, occupation: lace maker
• Sarah Revill (aged 22) — daughter, occupation: lace mender
• Elizabeth Revill (aged 17) — daughter, occupation: brass bobbin winder
• George Revill (aged 13) — son
