Yes Chris, I am speaking to a second cousin who MAY have a birth certificate for Charlotte....fingers crossed! Will nag her again LOL. If not, then I shall have to buy it. You are right, it would answer a few questions hopefully.

Thanks again

Me again.

I think we can discount the George Galloway who is an inmate of the workhouse in 1881 as not mine, thanks.

This chap is a silk weaver whose place of birth is given as Bethnal Green.

Doing well so far. I have searched and searched and can find no record at all of a George Galloway or Gallaway marrying an Elizabeth Reed at all. There are records of a few other George Galloways but not mine. The other ones are Born in Newcastle/civil engineer/silk weaver. Nothing comes close to mine.

I know he could have changed his trade but, in late 1800's I think it unlikely, especially with so many mouths to feed, that he would have done.

It's starting to feel right that there was no legal marriage just an adopting of the surname Reed to his own. Then Elizabeth dying, the older children married and with families not wanting to take the little ones. If Elizabeth died I 1876, elizabeth jnr would be 16 and working, Jane would be 13 and probably earning something, Frederick would be 12 and probably earning something, but Charlotte would have been 9 years old and just a mouth to feed. Also there may be this other younger boy Alfred who would have been only 4. George Galloway/Reed would have been aged 64 by 1876. Perhaps he struggled on for another two years before he had no choice but for all 3 of them to go to the workhouse? The electoral roll shows him still living at Peace Cottages in 1878.

Anyone think I might be on the right track here?

Caroline,
Is there a way to access the records for Charlotte being sent to i the Industrial School? Even the School Records themselves?

I have managed to find similar type records in Scotland, which provided a mass of information.
I am sure that English ones would be similar .

Aww, have to strike him off then. Was plucking at straws a bit wasnt I? Sorry Anne.

I have checked loads of variations and I just cannot find hide nor hair of my George Galloway before 1861. I have even checked on the Scottish Galloways and found nothing which could match up.

Am speaking with my cousin tomorrow so will definitely be nagging her for any other certificates she has.

Thanks again for all the help, much appreciated.

Question....
Does anyone think it would help (or hinder) to post a thread on Galloway? I don't want to do it wrong again!! :)

Oh Dear,
I still have an inkling that this man's name may indeed be George Galloway REED.

Caroline Report 19 Jan 2013 15:42

my head is spinning!

I have printed all of the info given here and all of the census sheets tto. Some marrying up to be done and then will finally be a bit clearer in my poor head.

i was looking through the school records thingy, was trying to find Charlotte Reed as this may also list the fathers name (i noticed it did on others), possibly an address too. If I could find Charlotte there, then perhaps I could also find out if the Alfred mentioned on the workhouse school census is her younger brother as his father might be there too.

onwards and....well.....onwards really!!

Thanks again all

In the marriage between George Reed and Elizabeth Ann in 1856....
Two eldest children would be aged 8 and 5 and Elizabeth would be 4 months pregnant with baby Emma.

I am wondering if George was previously married and a widow? If so, then his first wife would also have to be an Elizabeth as the 1851 census shows George Reed with wife Elizabeth and Son George aged 2. However, the difference in age between husband and wife is only 7 years. On the 1861 & 1871 census, the difference has jumped to 17 years.

Wondering if she died giving birth to William in 1851 perhaps? William was born in July 1851 and there is an Elizabeth Reed who is listed in the deaths of Jul-Aug-Sep quarter of 1851.....

Think maybe I need to get Williams birth certificate - would his mothers name including maiden name be on there? If I also get Charlottes birth certificate, maybe we might see a different maiden name for mother? Possibly also for father?

Am sounding this out to you folks to see if it sounds plausible.
Thanks

Thank you all for above help.

Finally, after waiting forever, Charlottes birth certificate has arrived.

Her mothers maiden name is given as Elizabeth White.

This now confirms her fathers first and only marriage is to Elizabeth White - looks likely that there were two sons born out of wedlock and she was pregnant with Emma when they eventually married but marriage cert will confirm this.

Am still waiting for the marriage certificate for George and Elizabeth now.

Thank you all so much again!! What would i do without you all???

Caroline,
I have forgotten half of the stuff on this thread but the marriage of George Reed and Elizabeth White is available on Anc.
They married on 28 Mar 1847 in London ( St Ethelburgen?)
George was a draper. Father William Reed a farmer.
Elizabeth was the daughter of John White a carpenter.
Both bride and groom lived in Wormwood Street .
Witnesses: Sarah Jane Riley and Robert Harrison Noakes.

Will Pm this to you
Edit: if this is the correct couple, it means all their children were born within the marriage.
