I believe my great-uncle James John A Chewter born 1873 married twice,
10 March 1896 Uckfield Sussex to Ellen Wood, in 1901 census living in
Hadlow Down Sussex with Ellen age 4, James 3, Mary 1, I believe his wife
Ellen died in 1906 age 30, and James John married again in 1910 to
Mercy Thompson in Richmond Surrey, information acquired from free
1911 census search John James age 37, Mercey[Mercy] 33 wife, three
children all born Hadlow Down, before Ellens death, Silly [ lily] May 9.
Theresa Ann 7, Hugh Frederick 6, marriage 1910, living in Hadlow Down.
A full 1911 census could help confirm my research, thank you.

Hmmm, so where are the three children....Ellen, James and Mary....born to James and Ellen?

Kenneth

Kenneth Report 3 Mar 2012 21:46

That is the puzzle, could be with relations, will need
more research to be certain, could even be in service.

Ellen, James and Mary are in 1901 census born
Hadlow Down but that could be an error, I could
not find any birth records for them, could you please
look for James 1897-8, and Mary 1899-1900 births
please and thanks.

Parents marriage was registered in Uckfield.
