on the 1891 census it says, I think that Ellen was a wash woman. And on the 1901 census Ellen (ellen and Mr younger's daughter) had fits from birth

I have been looking at the census's again and if the Ellen Younger in the 1891 census and the Ellen in the 1901 census are the same person, then the ages are out. In 1891 Ellen was 29, and ten years later she was 45. that is somewhat strange, a difference of six years. what do you think?

This is the information I have from the 1901 census.

Frederick Chapman (My Great Grandfather) Married, 42, mason's labourer, born London kentish town.

Ellen Chapman ( Great Grandmother) Wife, 45, born London, Peckham.

Henry Younger, stepson, 15, Vanguard railway worker, London, Peckham
Ellen Younger, stepdau, 11, London, Peckham

Elizabeth Chapman, dau, 9, London, Peckham
George Chapman, son, 5, London, Peckham
James Chapman, son, 4, London, peckham (my grandfather)
Dan Chapman, son 3, London, Peckham,
May, dau, 10 months, London, Peckham

61 Scylla Road, Camberwell, Peckham.

I realise earlier I said Ellen's children were 15 and 14. In fact they are 15, and 11.

I'm sorry

Are you able to copy and past the 1891 and 1901 - I don't have ancestry

Sandra Louise

Sandra Louise Report 18 Sep 2008 20:57

I should be able to. I'll try now

Here are the births for her older children. Getting one of these certificate might help find Ellen first husband.

Thanks Claire, can you post the 1891, think Sandra said Ellen was a visitor

Sandra Louise

Sandra Louise Report 18 Sep 2008 21:38

Thank you claire in wales, you have done, what i've spent thirty minutes trying to do, and failed miserably.

Sandra Louise

Sandra Louise Report 18 Sep 2008 21:40

Sorry Selina, you must have thought I had left the country. I'm not great a computers, as you can now tell.

It seems as though she was a visitor, but having looked closer at it the ages are out.

Sandra Louise

Sandra Louise Report 18 Sep 2008 21:44

Thank you Selina for the birth dates of the 2 older children. That's a great help.

Sandra, if you decide to get one of the Younger children's birth certificates, please let us know the outcome of the parents. I'm very curious because I'm stumped on both marriages for Ellen.

good luck with the tree

Sandra Louise

Sandra Louise Report 18 Sep 2008 21:52

I will send off for the birth certificates now. so I should have them next week. I thought I was going mad not being able to find them, but I have tried all I can think of, and still come up with nothing on the marriage. I can't say i'm having much luck with my grandfathers family at all, even his brothers and sisters are proving difficult to find. Oh well I shall keep trying.

Thank you so much for all you have done.

Best wishes,
Sandra

Updated information.

Hello,

I have finally got the certificates that I sent off for, but sadly it seems to be for the wrong Younger children. Their parents are William Younger, and Sarah Ann Younger, formerly Bray. Not Ellen Younger formerly Edmonds as I was hoping. Not really sure where to go from here, as no trace of either of her marriages or those of her children have been found.

Thanks for your help this far.

I hope that someone can find Henry and Ellen Younger on the 1891. I found a couple of Edmunds births just in case we are missing things here or getting

What do you think to this as a possibility?

Henry and Ellen, but no Ellen (mum). In London, but not Peckham. No mention of any other siblings. Now that I've written it doen, doesn't seem likely.
There's too big an age gap between Henry and Ellen.
