100 York Street

A Confectioner and a Railway Worker

1881

Number 100 is not on the 1881 Census.

1891 – Sweet Shop

Sarah Heckford, head, confectioner, 36, 1855, B. Cambridge
Sarah Heckford, domestic nursemaid, 14, 1877, B. Cambridge
Lilley Heckford, 8, 1883, B. Cambridge
Martha Heckford, 6, 1885, B. Cambridge

1901

William Mole, head, 35, locomotive engine labourer, 1866, Great Shelford, Cambridgeshire
Eliza J Mole, wife, 41, 1860, Cambridge
Emelia E J Mole, daughter, 6, 1895, Cambridge
Nellie Mole, daughter, 4, 1897, Cambridge
Maud L Mole, daughter, 1, 1900, Cambridge

1911

William Mole, 46, railway carriage washer, b. Grantchester

Eliza Jane Mole, 57, b. Cambridge

Emily Amelia Mole, 17, b. Cambridge

Nellie Mole, 15, b. Cambridge

Maud Louisa Mole, 12, b. Cambridge

Eliza and William have been married for nineteen years and have had four children, one of whom has died.

It looks as though each member of the Mole family has filled in their own line of the census record.  Then one of them has written all their names out in full on a lower line.  Their neighbours at number 98 did the same thing.

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
