70 Kingston Street, Cambridge

A Carpenter & a Railway Guard

1881

Cambridge-born Joseph J Bailey, a 32 year old carpenter, lives here in 1881 with his wife Susan.  Susan is 23 and was born in Battersea.

1891

In 1891, 70 Kingston Street is home to Susannah Stubbings, a 38 year old from Hampshire. She is married to George Stubbings, a 29 year old Railway Guard from Weston Colville. They have one son, newborn William Stubbings.

1901

By 1901, Susannah Stubbing has sadly passed away, leaving 39 year old George Stubbings as a Widower, and William, now 10, without a mother. However, before she passed, Susannah and George had three more children, G.E., aged 10, George Frances, aged 5, and Violent May, aged 3. George’s 25 year old sister Elizabeth Stubbings has moved in to help him manage after the tragic loss of his four children’s mother.

1911

There is no census entry for 70 Kingston Street in 1911.

Dear Visitor,

Thank you for exploring historical Cambridgeshire! We hope you enjoy your visit and, if you do,  would consider making a donation today.

Capturing Cambridge makes accessible thousands of photos and memories of Cambridge and its surrounding villages and towns. It is run by the Museum of Cambridge which, though 90 years old, is one of the most poorly publicly funded local history museums in the UK. It receives no core funding from local or central government nor from the University of Cambridge.

As a result, we are facing a crisis; we have no financial cushion – unlike many other museums in Cambridge – and are facing the need to drastically cut back our operations which could affect our ability to continue to run and develop this groundbreaking local history website.

If Capturing Cambridge matters to you, then the survival of the Museum of the Cambridge should matter as well. If you won’t support the preservation of your heritage, no-one else will! Your support is critical.

If you love Capturing Cambridge, and you are able to, we’d appreciate your support.

Every donation makes a world of difference.

Thank you,
Roger Lilley, Chair of Trustees
Museum of Cambridge
