William Henry KEMPE b 1834
« on: Sunday 13 April 08 07:12 BST (UK) »

I am looking for direction on where to go next as I am ignorant of Middlesex geography/parishes.
William Henry KEMPE according to 1861 Census was born "St Georges, London, Middlesex" in 1834.

Married Charlotte Georgiana COLEMAN in 1857 at the Old Church, St Pancras, London. Family was Protestant.

Marriage certificate states his father was also William Henry KEMPE who was deceased, a Lucy KEMPE as a witness. He was living in Gateshead, Durham at the time of his marriage.

Have checked out 1841, 1851 Census's with nothing certain. I would like to try to find a record of his birth.

Would some kind person please point me in the right direction? Perhaps a suggestion of which church records I should check out.

Thanks

There is a William Henry Kemp baptised at St George in the East on this site http://www.parishregister.com/searchpage.asp
You can get a copy of the transcription for only Ł3.25 although I'm not sure how you do that from Oz

Sorry just looked at the IGI and he is on there with father Jno so probably the wrong one

The church may be St George Hanover Square

Thanks Sylviaann, appreciate your suggestion, as I hadn't come across Parish Register before, I am ahead of where I was. I wondered about St George's Hanover Square,. I guess the trick is to check out any church in Middlesex with "St George" in it.  I wasn't sure whether St Georges was an area or a church, so am moving forward.
Cheers and thanks again

Hi Jane

This is a fab site http://archivemaps.com/mapco/ with details of which church covered which area.

St George HS (Hanover Sq) straddles http://archivemaps.com/mapco/parish/parish08.htm
and http://archivemaps.com/mapco/parish/parish09.htm

I have ancestors born there and they often used to baptise babies or get married in Marylebone parish churches too.

Good luck

I expect you already have this,but I thought I'd set it out so no one else has to go looking for it in their quest to narrow William's birth down for you  Grin

1861Census- they are in Low Fell,Gateshead Co Durham.

William H Kemp head 27 clerk at Bank of England b St George's London
Charlotte G Kemp wife 25 b St Pancras
George C Kemp 2 b Gateshead
William H Kemp 1 b "
Frances McOlvin servant unm 18 house sevant b Winlaton Northumberland.

RG9/3806 folio 4 page 8

Did they have branches of the Bank of England in Gateshead  Huh Huh Huh

Hi Carol and Anna
Can't say how much I appreciate all your help, I love this site  Smiley its probably the only one I have come across where people genuinely want to help.

The map site is fantastic, Carol, I noticed that the area south of the Strand and adjacent to the river is named St George's - so I have now a much better idea of the district, for want of a better term, I am looking in.  The parish map is very helpful for those of us who are not, recently anyway, locals.

By the 1881 Census the family was back in London living at Rose Villa 318 Crystal Palace Road, Camberwall, London. 

My thought about the move to Newcastle were that for an ambitious man, some time spent out in the provinces might well assist his move up the corporate ladder.  It probably worked, if that was the case given the move back to London. The last child born in Gateshead was about 1868 then a  son was born in 1870 in East Dulwich, Surrey - so presumably the family moved in between that time.

Now I am armed with a list of churches and an idea of the general vicinity I can move forward and see if there are any William Kempe's born in 1834 on the record.

What's also interesting is that in the Parish Register there are a number of Kempe's marrying - probably one or two generations earlier - so the 'match' from this end to the connection with the London Kempes of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries is tantalisingly close.
The Parish Register also confirms for me that there was a line of Kempes living in London, until now I thought they may have come from another part of the country ,as there are Kempes all over the south of England.

Anyway, thanks again for your help (I wish could assist others in the way you do, but hopefully as expertise grows... but am always happy to fill in any gaps in Australia, if that's of any use to anyone)

Regards

Jane

I'm confused about this - there are lots of St George's in London but I'm not familiar with this one!  The narrow strip between the Strand and the river fell mostly in St Martin-in-the-Fields, St Michael Burleigh Street, Savoy, St Mary le Strand and St Clement Danes, so far as I can see. (Before the Victoria Embankment was built in the 1860s this strip was even narrower than it is now).

William, more helpfully than in 1861, specifies his birthplace as "St George Han[over] Squ[are]" in 1871: RG10/726 folio 53 p14
