Census

The 1861 census finds the Olivers continue to live south of the river, now in Bermondsey; mother Elizabeth STILL Oliver is evidently dead before 1861.

Note

The 1851 England census finds James and Elizabeth living in St. George, Southwark, Surrey, in greater London, just south of the river.

The 1861 census finds James Oliver and some of the children living in Bermondsey, Surrey, just south of the river also. James is a widower.

the 1841 census shows that James and Elizabeth were living in St Leonard Shordith Parish in London, although this is not absolutely verified.

Shared note

WITNESSES of Marriage-Mary STILL and Edwin OLIVER

Note

This is most certainly the sister and brother-in-law of William Still. Church records, John Still's will, and William Still's family's bible of 1859 support this relationship.
