So is this the George Dixon referred to?

British Army WWI Pension Records 1914-1920
Name: George Dixon Course
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1885
Age at enlistment: 19
Birth Parish: Hammersmith
Birth County: Middlesex
Document Year: 1904
Regimental Number: 4058
Regiment Name: Royal Artillery
Number of images: 17

Father = Albert, wife = Grace Charlotte Manson?

According to the records, Albert was living at 11 Calcutta Road when George enlisted in 1899

Albert Course 34 ------is my ggfather

someone mentioned anne partridge married to albert course
------anne turner married albert course in cambridge---
g

He is not necessarily referring to his Father but to his step-father as being deceased in 1911.

Added:
And/or Annie has told him that his Father is dead, otherwise how could she marry Mr Partridge.

as i believe from
1891 England Census
Albert Course Age: 34 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1857 Relation: Head Married Gender: Male Where born: Cambridgeshire, England
correct
Civil parish: Chadwell St Mary Ecclesiastical parish: Chadwell St Mary
County/Island: Essex Country: England
Registration district: Orsett Sub-registration district: Orsett
correct

Albert Course 34 ------ggfather

Ernest Course 14------son
George Course 11------son

harry partridge who died in 1974 bournemouth
father Herniman? (possibly~~) if mr Herniman is in the loop,
he i believe commited suicide in the river Lee

however
Anne aged 2 in 1881 census and
william p born 1886 and his step brother harry partridge
seemed to have stayed together.

i also just put that Alfred died in 1955 and was listed as deceased in 1911. this information is from the marriage cert of my grandfather william p course
in brighton (why is this??)

all very intriguing

There is another John and Annie on the censuses, but my ancestry has just shut down so will have to stop for now.

Annie Partridge and William Percy Course
1911 census
Name: Annie Partridge
Age in 1911: 55 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1856
Relation to Head: Head Gender: Female
Birth Place: Islington, London, England
Civil parish: Hove County/Island: Sussex Country: England
Street Address: 22 Westbourne Gdns Hove Sussex
Marital Status: Widowed
Registration district: Steyning Registration District Number: 80 Sub-registration district: Hove
ED, institution, or vessel: 25 Household schedule number: 196 Piece: 5199
Annie Partridge 55 married 34 years 8 children 7 living.
Percy Comes 25 son grocer's assistant Kings Cross
Clifford Roberts 63
Mabel Mead 14
Margaret Bridge Mignon 72
Source Citation: Class: RG14; Piece: 5199; Schedule Number: 196.

If married 34 years, then married in 1876 to 1877, which could be bad arithmetic for her first marriage in Cambridge.

So William Percy G Course (1886) stays in London with his Mother Annie, so needs finding in 1891.
Annie marriages Mr Partridge?
As Harry Partridge is born in 1878, he is not a son of Annie but of Mr Partridge and a previous wife?

Annie's first wedding:
Marriages Sep 1875
COURSE Albert Cambridge 3b 835
TURNER Anne Cambridge 3b 835

so does Annie then marry Mr Herniman and then Mr Partridge (1897)?

If George Dixon is the eldest son of Alfred, then Alfred is Alfred Dixon?
But you put that William Course's father was Alfred, so he is Alfred Course?

You have also just put that Alfred died in 1955 and was deceased in 1911.

Added:
Is this Alfred Dixon's death:
Alfred Dixon
Birth Date: abt 1883
Date of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec 1955
Age at Death: 72
Registration district: East Ham
Inferred County: Essex
Volume: 5a
Page: 29
Added: The above is wrong as it is Alfred Course not Alfred Dixon who dies in 1955

You have put
'the marriage of my grandfather william p in brighton' in 1911.

I can see no marriage of William Partridge in 1911 in Brighton.

Added:
Your grandfather is William Course.
Births Jun 1886
COURSE William Percy G Islington 1b 351
Marriages Dec 1911
Course William P G Brighton 2b 445

OK, so this links some of them:
Births Jun 1881
COURSE George Dixon Islington 1b 237

Graham,
I am sorry but I find your information very confusing.

You have so many bits and pieces and 'leads'.

I quote:
'Harry's Partridges half-brother was William Course and were
quite close ,
William's father Alfred at some time moved to Essex,with his elder
brother George Dixon'

If Harry's half-brother was William Course, then William's father is Alfred Course. So who is George Dixon?
Can we have some dates and places attached.

Thank-you

pm from Graham

"harry did die in bournemouth his actual date of birthis a bit of a mystery probably in islington his half brother was william p course and was born in islington

Hope this helps

Need more input from Graham ......

A long shot for 1891 but Graham mentions Annie as mother ....

PARTRIDGE, Alfred Head Married M 40 1851 Railway Guard Castle Hedingham
PARTRIDGE, Anna E Wife Married F 40 1851 Maldon
PARTRIDGE, Maud Daughter Single F 17 1874 Dressmakers Apprentice Islington
PARTRIDGE, Horace Son M 16 1875 Stockbrokers Clerk Islington
PARTRIDGE, Harry Son M 13 1878 Scholar Islington
PARTRIDGE, Frank Son M 9 1882 Scholar Walthamstow

Piece: 175 Folio: 141 Page: 20
Registration District: Islington
Civil Parish: Islington

Address: 41, Gillespie Road, Islington, London County: London

(Think this may be the same family as GB mentions on the 1881)

1881 has a possible with mother Annie but that cross checks to Harry Sidney Partridge

Graham, if his mother was remarried then surely her name wouldn't be Partridge anymore?

Who was the stepbrother?

How have you connected to Harry?
