44 Kingston Street, Cambridge

A Cabinet Maker & a Bricklayer

1881

John and Emma Hunt live here in 1881. John is 31 and a cabinet maker, he was born in Aldsworth, Berkshire.  Emma is 29 and born in Cambridge.

1891

In 1891, 44 Kingston Street has no census entry, meaning either nobody was living there, or that the occupiers were not at home on census day.

1901

In 44 Kingston Street is the house of the Banyard family. Charles Banyard is a 35 year old bricklayer from Cherry Hinton; his wife Amelia is 32 and hails from Ely. They live with their daughter Mabel Banyard, aged 13, Sidney, aged 9, and Stanley Banyard, who is 4.

1911

By 1891, little has changed, though Sidney has now left home and Mabel is working as a draper’s assistant.

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
