and

Christopher?

Deaths Mar 1879
Schnackenberg Christopher 40 Poplar 1c 491

Problem solved...? ...that's why his real name was Schnackenberg...?...it was all very hushed up and not spoke about...!!...But my mum told me his real name...!!...lol...THANK YOU ALL...!!

jeez what a family...!!.... :-D

Wow...look at all them Schnackenbergs....!!...I can sure sift through that lot in the next few days...William Leary's sister....I think her name may have been Marion Schnackenberg was deaf and dumb... and I can just remember her...!!..Wow you lot have been incredible...thank you all for your help...it is really appreciated..!!.... :-D

So if William Charles was born in October 1880 and the marriage was in February 1880 was Elizabeth pregnant when she married which is why his real name is Schackenberg

According to the marriage cert Edward was a widower and Elizabeth nee Dowsett was a widow

Well done, Maddie & Astra!!! I too was wondering about the change of name from Eliza to Elizabeth!!!

The father's match. So why is it wrong?

But it's the wrong Elizabeth, sadly! [EDIT: No it's right. Thanks, Astra - below. I'm getting confused between Elizabeth and Eliza.]

Eliza was born in Middx ...I guess her mother may be Irish with regards to the potatoe famine...I don't think Eliza moved out of the East End...too busy deliverying babies...and taking in washing ...she couldn't read or write and failed her exams as a midwife....but was on hand to help the registered midwife when she wasn't around...lol....ah well back to the elusive EDWARD HIGGS...whoever he might be..?...guess it could be a mistake and Eliza could have given her mothers maiden name ..lol... :-)

Re Schnackenberg:

In 1891, as posted by Maddie and Astra, William's born in Bethnal Green, and his father Edward in Spitalfields.
Edward's traceable as Leary in all censuses including 1841 (mistranscribed Larry on Ancestry), and his father Michael was born in Middlesex. (Aldgate, in 1861 census).

Where does Schnackenberg come from?

Eliza Leary is my great grandmother

My grandmother Elizabeth Humm died when my mum was ten so her grandmother Eliza Leary bought the children up with her husband William Charles Leary.....apparently William was a lot younger than Eliza... :-)
