Lookup Request Census - George AVON of Portland, Dorset
« on: Sunday 08 April 07 00:56 BST (UK) »

I am attempting to find any information on a George and Catherine AVON who appeared in the 1881 Census at living at the Coastguard Bilding, Tyneham, Dorset (Based on the IGI).

My father-in-law was placed in an orphanage after his mother (Mary HUSSEY) died on Christmas day around 1922 and his father (Joseph AVON) was incapable of looking after him due to wounds suffered in WW1 whilst serving with the Dublin Fusiliers. As a result he has little knowledge of his anscertors. He thinks his parents married in England at the start of the war, 1915?

Inquiries made a number of few years ago revealed his father (Joseph) was born in Waterford, Ireland and his parents were George (Coastguard) and Catherine AVON (McCarthy). I believe it may be the same couple living in Dorset in 1881. Little else is known. My father-in-law is in frail health and I am attempting to gather as much information on any of these people as soon as I can. Any census details or the slightest piece of information pertaining to any these people or relatives would be treasured by him. Any assistance would be very much appreciated. I will also try my luck with ROOTS Ireland.

Many Thanks - Sturdy

Hi Sturdy....

Parents marriage details are Joseph Avon to Mary Hussey
Q4 1915 West Bromwich
vol 6b page 2166.

By ordering the cert it will give names of both fathers occupations as well.

I cannot see George and Catherine 1891/1901. If they were the parents of Joseph, born Ireland, they perhaps returned to Ireland as a son Joseph is not present in 1881.

There is a Joseph Avon in 1901

London Greenwich East - District Royal Hospital School RG13/543 131/34
Joseph Avon age 13 born Woodston? Waterford Island

There are 43 pages of children (boys) who seem to be aged 11-15. Someone other than me may know more about the establishment. Written across the pages - Greenwich School Boys
