Find Ancestors

the following family can be found up to and including the 1891 census but not after that in either the 1901 or 1911 census.
james baker reeves b. 1847 (it seems this marriage did not use the surname of `reeves` but the grooms` middle name???)
sarah anne baker b. wiltshire 1856
james frederick baker b. 1878- lambeth
thomas alan baker b.1880-lambeth
william edward baker b. 1882 lambeth
jessie rosina baker b.1885 lambeth
catherine jessie baker b. 1890 lambeth
the address on this census of 1891 was-10 arden street,battersea
would like to have found any of the children-if they didnt die young?
can anyone find them please?

Do you know if they were definitely in this country in 1911 or 1901?
Are you just trying to track them, or are you descended from one of them?
Thanks

Hello Rosalie, what was James' occupation on the marriage record, or on any of the census you have found?

Where and when did he marry? - all these little details may help us find them. For example, if we know Sarah Ann's maiden name we can look to see if any of the children were with her family.

I cannot see a birth for Thomas Alan, have you got any of the certificates?
Thanks

Seeing as they didn't marry until 1889 the children born before then are from Sarah Ann's first marriage and probably registered under the name of Norton. It's likely that in the 1891 they were on the census under James' surname but under their own in later years.

descended from james who would have been my gt grandad

i have searched for the children under this marriage under both surnames-still got nowhere

Does James show as Norton or Baker on his marriage certificate?
And is he married by 1911?
Thanks

yes i was aware of this norton marriage-nortons and also found them lastly on the 1891 census

Rosalie, do you mean descended from James F b1879?

If so, do you know who he married and when?

i take it we`re now talking about james f.? sometimes he used norton other times baker-really confusing but he used baker on his second marriage in 1916 to my gran at saltash, cornwall

his (james frederick baker/norton) 1st marriage was to amy elizabeth clemson, in 1907 she died 1908
