Hi, i cant seem to find anything before 1901 for my great great grandfather Charles Beaumont.

From the 1911 census i know he was born around 1863/4 in Woolwich, Greater London. Was a machinist in the Riffle Shell Dept at the Royal Woolwich Arsenal. Prior to 1901 i cant seem to find him. am i being really stupid here?

Any help would be a great.

Regards

Kevin

Do you have the marriage cert? The details might help.

Rose

I'm afraid not, this is all the information i have;

Charles Beaumont - 48 MACHINIST RIFFLE SHELL DEPT ROYAL ARSENAL born in WOOLWICH LONDON.

married to;

BEAUMONT, ADA - 44 born WOOLWICH LONDON, says married for 22 years so married around 1889.

Can you list the details of the children in 1911? What was Ada's maiden name?

Is Eliza Turner Ada's mother? just to get the maiden name... thank you again for this help.

Looks like between 1901 and 1911 Ada got divorced and married Charles Beaumont. or her husband may have died... plenty for me to look into..

thank you Rose

Marriages Dec 1885
LANGHAM Ada Woolwich 1d 1662
Pollard Thomas Woolwich 1d 1662

Rose

I doubt they divorced. That was too expensive.

Rose

perhaps her husband died then...

who is this Eliza Turner if ada was a Langham?

Eliza Turner is a lodger.

cheers ozi
