Hi Maz Managed to find this before the credit ran out. There are 3 Alice Jennings listed as being from Essex. Only got to look at 2. 1) Alice Jennings-Boarder-15-Pupil Teacher-Born Walthamstow.Have house list on this but not the other one 2) Alice L Jennings-Single-16-Servant.From Grays in Essex living with the Robinson family at Willow Grove, Chislehurst. There was one more age 12 I think but couldn't get to look at the detail as the credit ran out. Catherine

Hi again Catherine, If you've got any credits and time left could you please look up the following: Mary Johnson age 2 born Westmorland Morland, Admin county Westmorland, civil parish Morland. Thanks a lot, Gillian

Thanks for the info George

Hiya. A shipwright is someone who works in a shipyard building ships etc. So far as I know this was his profession all his life. Jennie would be about 10, Ellenor 12, Alice 14. Thomas and Alfred (if still at home) would have been shipwrights too or at least apprentices. Jennie (registered name) is obviously unusual for the time. I believe both East and West Ham still came under Essex until after 1901. Sorry can't be more helpful. Don't worry if you can't find!! Thanks for trying anyway. Maz. XX

Hi Maz Yeah got your message. Is shipwright a profession? any idea how old sarah ann was or a rough idea of the kids, I can try to narrow it down then. Is the Area Essex or London? Catherine

Thanks Catherine! Have been off line for a bit! Gillian

Bit puzzled as no Shipwrights showing. He was down on 1891 as born Poplar. Children would be (starting from youngest) Daisy or Emily, Jennie, Ellen/or, Alice, Annie or Emily, Beatrice, Alfred, Thomas. Don't know how many would still be at home. Wife was Sarah Ann - on 1891 as Annie - but think probably deceased. Sorry not much help. Driving me mad!! Maz. XX

Hi Marion There is 1 Thomas Jennings listed under Essex married to May and he is age 47. They currently in 1901 had 3 children. There are 7 listed for London.Do you think you can narrow it down? 1) Thomas Jennings-46-Born-City of London-Parish Mile End-General Dealer 2)Age 47-London Middlesex-Admin Co Lancaster-Orchestral Musician 3) 49 Born Marlebone, London-Admin Co London-House Painter 4)50-Born London Bromley-General Labourer. 5)53-Born Camden, London-Admin Co is Kent-Publican 6)54-Born London, Camberwell-Painter 7)54-London-St Pancras-Carver and Guilder. None show West or East Ham. Sorry my London Geography not too clever. Ring any bells.Do you know the names of any of the kids? Having a break, for a bit but let me know, have to get my daughter off to her Granma's. Catherine

Sorry Catherine. Having a silly saturday. Yes Charles was the husband and Emma his wife. He would have been about 36 I believe. And the rest were their children. Sarah.

Catherine, you must be a very kind person!! If you have any credits left could you please look up Thomas Alfred Jennings a shipwright aged born in 1851 in East or West Ham which is probably Essex at that time(but could be London). He would have up to 8 kids and probably is a widower?? Anything would be great. Thanks so much in advance. Maz. XX

Susan Do you know if John was married to Alice in 1901? Have you a rough idea of his age round that time period or were they both children in 1901. Thanks Catherine

Hi Catherine, If you have any credits left could you look for a Alice Macey Crowson who married John william Bromley Louth Lincs can't find their marriage anywhere, but I do know they were definatly married. Thanks Sue
