Need a bit more info such as what census have you found him on - when and where did he marry etc etc

GlitterBaby

GlitterBaby Report 20 Sep 2013 20:16

Was he born in Shoreditch or just lived there ?

It would have been better to find the birth year info before posting

Oops obviously still looking for the information

Claire,

You really need to have the info to hand when you ask for help as you will get asked questions which will help with finding the information you are looking for.

Such as do you have a marriage cert - so give details from that cert - such as when and where, the name of father if named and his occupation - sometimes the witnesses are family members..

Have you found him on any census - so give brief details so the helpers can also look at those records.

Anything would be useful

Unlikely that any of us that have posted on this thread are related as we are just members who like to help others.

Have you found him on any census at all - found his death etc, etc

You really need to try and give more info

Claire, lots of John Giles born about that time. Can you give us a bit more info? You must have got back to him somehow.

Did he have any children? If so, what were their names and when and where were they born? Have you found him on any census?

GlitterBaby

GlitterBaby Report 29 Sep 2013 12:32

Did he die in 1872 in Kingston, Surrey ?

thanks so much though I don't think thats him. I do belive he had children:
Robert Albert Giles born 1841 died 1862 married Jessey Moses in 1859 in Greenwich

Henry Giles born 1839
Frederick Giles born 1840
Mary Giles born in 1846
Eliza Giles born 1850
Elizabeth Giles born in 1843

All I know about John is that he was born in 1818 in Shoreditch
Probably married Eleanor Lines who was born in 1820 in Shoreditch
And he had those children.

Cheers
