Hi Lorraine,

Thank you for that...do you know who's tree the info was on....Frederick George Aldridge 1900 -1957 is my G Grandfather, (he was also a Merchant Seaman)...The only thing that i am having trouble with is Lucy had only turned 16 when she married and on her marriage cert she has put down 19.....Henry Aldridge has his age as 25, but if he is the same HG Aldridge as the one you found his age should of been 30, and he would of been 39 when he died although his death cert says 32. Do you reckon he told a few porkies as well????? That s Lucy with her family in 1891 and 1881.

Thanks

Debbie

Lorraine Report 3 Aug 2009 21:39

debbie

death cert details are usually given by next of kin who sometimes do not know all the facts and if someone lied about their it could continue, at 16 lucy would have needed her parents permission to marry so maybe she also added on years to marry, I think more checks are done for marriages than years ago. If lucy was only 16 and henry 32 he probably took years off and she added them on due the large age gap.


my grandmother was married under her mothers married even though she was born when her mother was unmarried, and never changed her named legally.


I will take another look at the family tree info if you want me to pass on a message to the tree holder pm me your email and i will pass it on.

Selena in South East London Report 5 Aug 2009 17:55

Hello Lorraine, thanks for the kind offer. I did put this up as a thread yesterday but no luck yet. I am looking for the following on the 1841. Thisis the 1851 in Deptford, Greenwich, kent (now London)

George Perkins, 45, stoker, born Hampstead Middx
Ann, wife, 41, born Hampstead
John, son 14, labourer
Sarah, 12, born Deptford, Kent
Mary, 12, born deptford
Fanny, 9, deptford
Charles, 5, deptford
Harriet, age 2

They are sometimes mistranscribed as Parkins. There is a possibility that George was in prison in Maidstone, Kent at some point. His wife Ann is down as a widow on 1861 Deptford but there is a line crossed though.

Any help is appreciated, Thank you,

Selena

Hi Lorraine, Thankyou for your offer for lookups.
Do you think you could look at Canada for me please - here are the details:
Joseph Jones aged 44
Sarah Jones aged 44
possible children are:
David Jones aged 15
Lily Jones aged 17
Mona Jones, aged 13
Sarah Jones aged 11

This would be how old they would be on the 1911 Canadian census if they are there. They are on the UK 1901 but family folklore said they went to Canada sometime after 1901

Many thanks

Hi Lorraine, thanks so much. A family member had told me about this census (address Frenches Fields) but we had disregarded it because of George Taylor. What you say makes perfect sense. Also Frances age 6 months, later lives in Frenches Fields when she is married. I think its definately them.

Thanks so much

Hi Lorraine,

Thanks for the kind offer.

I've got a shelley family going to Canada between 1883 and 1885 possibly 1887.

Joseph Shelley is the head and born 1847 with a wife ruth formerly muston or mustin born 1846 both born in staffordshire i think.

They had 5 children when they left for Canada and were in Tamworth, Staffordshire before they went.

Rowland Shelley 1874
Sarah E Shelley 1876
George Shelley 1878
Amelia Shelley 1879
Emma Shelley 1883

2 more born in Canada John Robson Shelley and Victor Shelley.

I can't find a birth record for John but have found Victor born 24th July 1887 Norwich, Oxford, Ontario.

I have found them all on the 1891 Canadian Census:
Province: Ontario
District Name: Brant South
District Number: 49
Sub-District Name: Brantford West
Household number: 159

It would be a great help if you could find them on passenger lists or the details of John's birth.

I know most of them were back in England in the 1901 Census in Chatham Kent but i think a couple of the children may have stayed in Canada, any info. on this would be a great help too.

Thanks,

Caroline
