Hi
thanks for all the replys so far, but i dont think Ada died before Henry, I think she remarried, Robert Tuvey, as on Walters marriage certifcate he has his fathers name as Robert, which i think was his stepdad.
I also rang the St Pancras Library with the address he had on his marriage certificate, and he was living with Ada and Robert Tuvey.
Have had a look for Henry/Harry and still cant find him with any of his children or wife?

thanks

Morning
Thank you Helen and Janice,
this looks like the right family, as i said i found a match with my tree yesterday, but i never take anything for Gospel, so like to double check everything.
On there tree Jennie is Henry and Adas daughter so that would fit with what you found.
Also the names fit for what they have for Adas family,
the only thing i am not sure of is it says Ada was 7 in 1881 born about 1874, but her marriage certificate says she was 18 in 1888, so would have been born in 1870.
Still cant seem to find them on the census together, I did wonder if something happened to Henry when the children were young and the family split and lived with various family members.
As the tree match i found yesterday doesnt have my grandad (Walter) in his tree, but his grandmother is Jennie.
Will carry on looking would like to find Walter and his siblings with at least 1 parent!,
also need to work out who Josephs family were. parents siblings etc.

Thank you for all your help it really is appreciated.

Hi Helen and Janice,
thank you both very, you have been brilliant,
all i need to do is find Henry and Ada somewhere, somehow with there children, so i know they are definately my grandads family.
and i will be happy.
But that is easier said then done!?
Some of them must be on the 1891/1901 census somewhere?

Thanks
Bev
