Hi Christina

Thank you - yes quite possible. I haven't much to go on only information from a relative that could obviously be incorrect.

Thanks for that.

Hi Christina

Thank you. Could possible be Charles. Unfortunately I don't know much about him - hence trying to find out - but age is roughly right.

Thanks

On the 1911 census Charles' place of birth is London Charing Cross on the image.

Jessie and Dorothy were both born at Thornton Heath, Surrey.

They had been married for one year and had one child.

Hi

I have seen that one on FreeBmd but as I said before I was told that he was born in Mitcham, Surrey which is near Wandsworth, where Mary Ray who he married in 1917 lived and worked, so i have discounted that one (albeit perhaps quite wrongly). Back to the drawing board - but thank you so much for your help.

Have to go now - but thank you everyone for all of your help.

Your time is very much appreciated.

:-) :-) :-)

Christine This is a Charles E with stepfather and mother. Mitchum is also on the borders of Croydon.

Only thing to do, as Reggie suggested earlier, is to buy the marriage certificates.

If the Edward Charles who married Jessie has the same father's name and occupation as the Charles E who married Mary, then you'll know he's your man,

Hi both

Sorry I had to go last night and today have had to do that work thing so apologies for late reply.

I think this is my Charles. As soon as I saw the name Bacon it rang a bell. It is a name I remember my relative saying when she was teling me about Charles so thank you both very much.

Regards,

Christine :-) :-) :-)
