Thanks Nell, To do that you have to have a brain and most of the time that is something I lack. Jean x.

Jean I followed Teresa's lead by going to the www.familysearch.org site and finding the Lagdon family. Then I just clicked on 'Next household' until I got there - it looked a possibility as a mistranscription - since you hadn't found Edward under his real name, he was obviously mistranscribed. nell

Jess, Your long shot was right that is the family in 1861. Nell, You found them too in 1881. How do you all do this? I scrabble about for months and nothing turns up. You lot take 5 minutes and get them on every census. Do you give lessons? Jean x.

Fiona, That's them. Mistranscribed. Thanks so much. Thanks all you lovely people. I have been looking for them for weeks and weeks on the 1881. Even put in just first names and nothing likely came up. Saw the marriage certificate today and thought I'd try to find by address and BINGO> Knew I could rely on the peeps on here. Jean x.

does it give fathers details on mar. cert. (deceased) According to the SHALLONS the mother is a widow, Claire

There isn't a Church Street according to Gendocs. I thought this one was a possible: Name Relation Marital Status Gender Age Birthplace Occupation Disability Elizabeth SHALLON Head W Female 53 St Lukes Brush Maker Eliza SHALLON Daur U Female 30 St Lukes General Servant **** Edward SHALLON Son U Male 24 St Lukes Invoicer (Clerk) Frederick SHALLON Son U Male 22 St Lukes Brush Maker Dwelling 84 Church Rd Census Place London, Middlesex, England Family History Library Film 1341066 RG11 Piece / Folio 0309 / 81 Page 49 Is this Edward the right age for the wedding cert? nell

hi again checked message from Teresa. The LAGDON'S were living in CHURCH ROAD not STREET, Claire

On 1871 census family lived at 96 Wick Street, Homerton, Hackney. Father John Shillum died in Jan 1881 so that would leave >: Eliza Shillum who would be a widow born 1828 in Clerkenwell. Edward Shillum born 1856 Shoreditch Frederick Charles Shillum born 1859 Shoreditch Ann Shullum born 1864 Hackney.

How about 84 Church Road??? Edward Shallon abt 1857 St Lukes Son 84 Church Rd, Hackney, London, England View Record Eliza Shallon abt 1851 St Lukes Daughter 84 Church Rd, Hackney, London, England View Record Elizabeth Shallon abt 1828 St Lukes Head 84 Church Rd, Hackney, London, England View Record Frederick Shallon abt 1859 St Lukes Son 84 Church Rd, Hackney, London, England

had a look but can only find CANDY STREET and LAMPRELL STREET. Claire

That is a blow, will have a look up and down the street and see if they are about but...dont hold your breath

1861 maybe - clutching at straws! John Cook abt 1847 Shoreditch, Middlesex, England Apprentice Bethnal Green Middlesex Esther Crowton abt 1843 Clerkenwell, Middlesex, England Visitor Bethnal Green Middlesex Edward Shillum abt 1857 Shoreditch, Middlesex, England Son Bethnal Green Middlesex Eliza Ann Shillum abt 1828 Clerkenwell, Middlesex, England Wife Bethnal Green Middlesex Eliza Ann Shillum abt 1851 Clerkenwell, Middlesex, England Daughter Bethnal Green Middlesex Frederick Chas Shillum abt 1859 Shoreditch, Middlesex, England Son Bethnal Green Middlesex James David Shillum abt 1852 Islington, Middlesex, England Son Bethnal Green Middlesex John Lewis Shillum abt 1829 Shoreditch, Middlesex, England Head Bethnal Green Middlesex John Nicholas Shillum abt 1849 Shoreditch, Middlesex, England Son Bethnal Green Middlesex

I can't find a Church Street in Homerton on the Gendocs list of Victorian Streets. nell

What is the age of Edward on the marriage certificate and his fathers name? Fiona.

Have just searched for all Edwards in Homerton - nothing for Church Street. When and where was Edward born and do you know of any family members who might be living at the same address? nell

have you found him on 1871 who are his other family memebers?

Is there a way to do an address search on the 1881 census? I would like to know who was living at 81 Church Street, Homerton, Hackney. The name should be Shillum but although I have tried every combination I can think of the family are proving very elusive. Marriage certificate seen today shows that address on the marriage of Edward Shillum on 25.12.1881. Fingers crossed. Thank you.
