Find Ancestors

I have searched for a birth in London area for an Alice Lavinia White - none between
1875 to 1884 , may be she was born with a different surname, mother married and she became a " White "

Unless we can find a death for Alice Lavinia might be hard to find her birth

there are 3 births 1878 / 1880 for Alice Lavinia White 2 in Sunderland and 1 in Stroud Glous. - but as we have only found her on 1 census hard to say where she may be from

Hi Mavis

Thanks for looking. I will wait for the divorce paers from the National Archives and see what that shows me.

I might also get there eldest childes BC Frederock to see whether the details are the same or are different.

Thanks for all your help.

Maybe one day I will solve Alice

There is an 1870 marriage between a William White and Elizabeth Creasy in Bethnal Green
The bridegroom was a Portmanteau maker rather than a boot maker but he lived in Maidstone Street, which is where this family is found in 1881

Although there is baptismal and subsequent marriage info on some of their children, I cannot see one for their daughter, Alice White


Anne

Ahh Anne

Thanks for that. It migh be best if I odrer the MC between William White & Elizabeth Creasy sorry it has just taken me to now to make the connection with the cenuses posted above by yourslef and Polly pocket to Herny William Alices father.

The unravling begins.

Thanks
Candis

That Alice married 25 -12 1898

Frederick James Donovan 20y
Alice White 20 father William White --shoemaker

on 1901 and 1911 Census

Mavis

Mavis is right, this particular Alice White did marry Frederick Donovan.
The address on the 1898 marrige cert is 62 Maidstone Street , and I can also find this Alice and Frederick Donovan with their own children on census returns up until 1911.
Your Alice cannot be the daughter of William and Elizabeth after all.

Anne

I would say her marriage certificate to Nicolas Lacey would be a good buy! It should show her father's name.

Jude

Candis already has that Alice is 35y her father is Henry William White Boot/Boat maker -- marriage -- 1 May 1915

HI

I posted the marriage further on up.

Hey ho the hunt carrys on I wonder if she was born something else but what the mystery carries on.

Thanks Mavis

Candis

Sorry - missed that!!

THis is I guess the Stroud Alice Lavina

Marriages Dec 1905 (>99%)
FRANKLIN Arthur Sidney Stroud 6a 703
HAYNES Florence Edith Stroud 6a 703
HOGG Edmund James Stroud 6a 703
WHITE Alice Lavinia Stroud 6a 703

She was a spinster on the marriage to Nicholas Lacey in 1915

Yes - just trying to eliminate

.....there are 3 births 1878 / 1880 for Alice Lavinia White 2 in Sunderland and 1 in Stroud Glous. - but as we have only found her on 1 census hard to say where she may be from....

I have found Florence with Edmund...so Alice Lavinia born Stroud married Arthur Franklin. But all irrelevant as we are looking for a Londoner!

New information has come to light.

She died as a Gullick.

I have managed to find a marraiage reference for a Joh Gulick to either an Alice L White/Lacey coincidence or what. 3rd Quarter 1934 Dover Kent, Vol 2a 3947. I shall be ordering this very soon.

Candis

Thats interesting -- might have different father details or one you can read !!!

Mavis

Still cant pinpoint her death as a Gullick !!!

Dover Express 13 July 1934

on 11th July 1934 at the Registry Office John Gullick to Alice Lavinia Lacey or White


Mavis

The plot thickens

John Gullick 1st wife = 1903 Honiton Devon -- Dec Q 5b 37 to Lily Rosabel White born1876 Westminster she died Dover left a will. 1924---7 [forgot to put date down]
left to John Gullick --Grocer


1911 in Bromley
John Gullick 37y Sawyer born south Petherwin Cornwall
Lily Rosabel Gullick 35y born Golden square London - no children

I now wonder is Alice Lavinia White connected some where to this family ???

Mavis

Lilly Rosabel died 25/10/1929 probate 19/11/1929 and again on some settled lands? 7/6/1956.



1911 John Gullick a gardener/Domestic
Lilly Rosabell Gullick cook/Domestic married 7 years.

Different fathers but both bootmakers?

Jude

Have been trying to find Robert and Mary Ann White in 1891 census - no luck - chance they may have had an Alice born after June 1881 ??

Would some one else like to try ???

unable to work out the names of the 2 after Lily - not what they are indexed as.
the last one is Sarah Louise not Sarah Susan

I have found Lily White [ Lilly Rosabel ] in Devon but none of the others

Have worked out that Robert and Mary Ann are not married - I believe Mary Ann's surname was Keyton.

Mavis

Update

Divorce papers are due any day now.

Have ordered the MC for John Gullick and Lacey/White.

I was shown a piece of paper which looked like a burial record for an Violet Lavina Guliick 1887. George believes this is Alice?

Will post when I have details.

Many thanks
Candis
