Find Ancestors

Thankyou Dea for the search it was a long shot I know, but as this address was mentioned by the Pleasance decendants, I thought it was worth a look to see if any Pleasance or Knapp's were living there in 1911. Another dead end but thanks for looking anyway.
Kind regards Nicky

Nicola - about that address.......

You could try contacting the local library closest to that address and see if they would be willing to do an electoral roll look up for the year in question and perhaps a year either side?

I need help again!!
To all those who have helped with my research on my Pleasance/Knapp family so far. I have received the Birth cert of Frederick Robert Knapp,
details are: Frederick Robert Knapp, Born 14th April 1900 at 2.10am, 71 Warley Street, Bethnal Green. Father: William Wallace Knapp. Mother: Charlotte Knapp formerly Rees of 71 Warley Street, Bethnal Green.
To recap Frederick Robert Knapp was married in March 1925 as Frederick Robert Pleasance, marriage cert says father was Albert Pleasance. I know this is the same person for sure!! but can't connect them because of the name change..
I have found a Charlotte Rees to John T Pleasance in 1887. Help please...

probably Daisy Pleasance NOT Placanses !

don't know if any of these postings are relevant, but they may be!

In 1901 looks like Thomas Pleasance was with a 'new' family and possibly Charlotte wasn't actually a widow. This Thomas Pleasance born the same year in Bethnal Green with the same occupation

Thanks all for your help especially Choccy, finding Pleasance's in the same house as my Knapp Birth, confirms they are the same family..This is driving me mad..I thought there would be a clear date for the change of name, but know I have Pleasance's ancestor's prior to my Knapp Birth's in 1900!!

So Charlotte Rees Married John Thomas Pleasance had 2 kids, Charlotte, 1890 and Daisy Emma, 1996. John Thomas then up and left and started new life with Elizabeth ??. Meanwhile Charlotte had twins Fred and William in 1900,Father William Wallace Knapp, and then had Albert Pleasance in 1906, Shoreditch. All this time claiming she was a widow??
I know guess work is rarely right when it comes to family history, so would love to know if anyone with more knowledge than me (thats all the kind people that have helped) thinks I maybe right in my thinking..

Hi, could someone please look up William W Ruopp in the 1891 census in Pontypridd... think this could be my William Wallace Knapp.. looking to trace him back before 1891 any info helpful, birth place, occ etc Thanks
