Hi Joanne,
That Walker one isn't right as the father's name is George Henry.
They didn''t stay in Islington cos if you look at the census, the later children were born elsewhere - was it Tottenham(can't see from here as it's on previous page).

Oh my goodness, I think I might just have found the older children in 1901 in the Workhouse School in Islington!

There's Frederick Jackson 7
Blanche Jackson 5
Willy Jackson 3 (which ties in with George William) ***Edit no it doesnt

They are listed together as inmates, all born Islington.

Yes your right, my Great nan was born in Edmonton so was Edward and Walter the 1903 Walter was born in Tottenham.

Sorry to be a nuisance Janice,

Do you know the name of the workhouse in Islington?

Janice

Janice Report 17 Aug 2010 12:15

It was the District Workhouse School in Upper Holloway. Have sent you the image.

Just realised: if 'Willy' was 3 in 1901, he cant be the George William christened in 1894 so this could be your 2nd missing child.

I dont know if any other children were born, my mum thought the only children were my Great Nan Ethel and Edward who was born about 1909. They were the youngest.

I will write the ref for Willy, just incase it is him, thankyou Janice.
