What name did he marry in, and did he list a father etc and have you found him in 1911?

Kay

Gosh.... I thought I had problems, ...Lol.

Just to clarify then......

Harry BREED ( perhaps not his real name ) was your father's grandfather and was married in 1901, - address 15 Ashdown Street ...and one of the witness names being William Donnelly, possibly a fellow boarder in 1901 census.

Was great grandfather shown as an excavator on his marriage cert. and or on his childrens birth certificates?

No, not the sweep - I am going with the Excavator - who I know was not called Harry but was definitely born in 1876!

ADDED:

I mean my great grandfather was not called Harry, but was a labourer/excavator and was born in 1876.

My theory is that 'Harry Breed' is an alias for my great grandfather - who was an Excavator (digging deep holes and shoring them up with timbers according to my dad) - it is the year 1876 that makes me think it is him - that and the fact that the other Boarder - William Donnelly - was a witness at his marriage in December 1901. His place of residence at the time of marriage was 15 Ashdown Street!

Which one has a connection to YOU....Is it Harry the sweep?

Ampthill and Shefford are close together.
8 miles apart.

Located him through 1901 Census record at 15 Ashdown Street - I have tried connecting him back to 1911 Census - but it does not make sense that Harry born in Shefford, married in Ampthill with a son born in 1902 was in Islington in 1901 and giving the wrong year of birth

Can you link yourself to the Harry in 1901?

Can't quite make out his occupation.... Some sort of excavator ?

Have you looked for Harold? Henry?

I AM PULLING UP THIS THREAD AGAIN Please go to end of Page 2 - Looking for the DEATH of an AMBROSE (child) born and died BETWEEN 1901? and the 1911 Census please

EDIT: Not interested in Harry at the moment

Who is Harry - this is my dilemma. I think he is a made up person!

Harry Breed appears in the 1901 Census, he is shown as single , aged 25 born in 1876 in Shefford, Bedfordshire.

There is a birth in Huntingdonshire in 1874, a marriage in 1903 (Ampthill) and other Harry births in 1881 or 1883 in Shefford (other GR Members' Trees) plus some deaths, but...........

I cannot (yet) locate a convincing corresponding birth for him - the years and places are always out - which is why I think he may be a made up person!

Thought I would see if anyone has more success or suggestions?
