Biographical Notes |
Note: After her husband's death in India in 1869, Margaret brought her mother Lucy Carey Penny and four children back to England. They were there by the 1871 census. At that time they were living in Bedford, Bedfordshire, where Margaret worked as a teacher in a preparatory school. Margaret's children at home were Isaac Allan eight, Edwin five and James three, all of whom were scholars. Their cousin Nicholas Davey eleven years old was also living with them. Nicholas had also been born in Bengal and was a scholar.
Lucy Carey, Margaret's mother, was 65 years old and an annuitant. Another member of the household was Annie Johnson, a domestic servant from Yorkshire. She was 28 years old.
In the 1881 English census we find that Isaac's brothers James 13 years old and Edwin 15 years old were attending the Blackheath Village School for Sons of Ministers in Blackheath, West Kent.
Isaac at 18 years was living at Holford House which was located in the outer circle of Regent's Park near Dorset Square in Marylebone (London) where he was an undergraduate theology student at the Baptist college.
President and Tutor at the college was Joseph Angus 65 years old. I wonder if he was related to the Anguses who came to South Australia.
