Would some kind soul do a 1920 - 1926 electoral roll search please. David Fitzgerald and James Fitzgerald living at 3 Princes Court Bethnal Green. I'd like to know if they were both single and who else lived at that address.
manythanks.

Again, Many thanks

Once you've logged in, click "Search" at the top of the page, then "Search all records" from the drop-down list.
Enter the details of one of the family, and the tree entry should appear at the top of the search results.

The tree lists only some of John & Mary's children - Annie, John, Ellen, Mary, Isabella, Michael and Sarah.
So It's no help with David, and James.
But you could contact the tree owner - EllenHarper93

Thank you - no worries. You say the info is on an Ancestry tree - should I join Ancestry to see this tree for myself do you think?

Re Michael's death:
sorry, my mistake. The tree doesn't have anything on Michael after 1891.

I was confusing him with his nephew Michael, John's son - per the tree.

Deaths Jun 1893 (>99%)

Fitzgerald Mary Ann 7 Mile End 1c 367

The John and Sarah tree tallies with some death cards I have, names, ages and siblings. Thank you. Michael would have been 111 years old - is this right or a typo ????

A tree on Ancestry says this is John in 1911:

It also says he died in Stepney (no date)

Just to summerize. The known children are

Mary Ann b. 1876
Ann N b. 1877
John b. 1879
Michael b. 1881
Ellen b. 1884
Isabella b. 1888
Sarah b. 1890
Eliza b. 1892
James b. 1893
David b. 1896


Except that's 10 children! But only 7 of the above are living in 1911. Sarah and Bella are obviously the two unmarried ones but who are the five that are married?

John & Mary's children were : Mary Ann, Ann Norah, John, Michael, Ellen, Isabella, Sarah, Eliza, James and David and in 1911 they were in Princes Court, Bethnal Green.

On that 1911 Mary is Married. Had been married for 36 years, 9 children born, 7 living and 2 had died. It also very helpfully says that 5 of the 7 living are married. So have you worked out who the 7 living are and which 2 died please?

Thank you so much ArgyllGran. Can you see if any of the other brothers joined up?

David's in the army in 1916.
