Harriet Smith, a 52 year old dressmaker from Suffolk lives here in 1911 with her daughter Kathleen.

Harriet has filled in the census return and calls herself “wife” not head and married not widowed.  She has been married for 31 years and has had four children.  Kathleen is 24 and works as a jam factory hand.

Kathleen and her mother used to live at 149 (Lower) York Street.  The 1901 Census also records Harriet as being married, although her husband isn’t at home on census night.

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
