Census after 1872 Charles Ernest Smith
« on: Thursday 11 June 09 13:40 UTC (UK) »

I am new to Rootschat and hope I am posting this properly.
I would like information on my Great Grandfather, Charles Ernest Smith,
to date I know he was born in 1872 Hastings, I know that he was married in 1891 4th quarter to Frances Mary Jarman and I have the 1911 census info of his family.

I would like info on who his parents were and if he had any siblings also if the family shows up on census after 1911.
Thank you
Lena

First of all, there are no available censuses after 1911.
(thats the easy question answered!)

With a name like Smith you are going to have to go carefully one step at a time to make sure you dont accidently follow the wrong chap.

I cant immediatley see a Charles Smith of right age with a wife Frances on 1901.

What family do they have in 1911?
Have you got a birth cert of a child to confirm his wife's maiden name was Jarman, and thus lead you to the marriage in 1891?

If you have confirmed this is the correct marriage, then getting the cert will give his fathers name and occupation and therefore help find the correct person in earlier censuses

I guess I should stated that when I was searching for
my grandmother Lena Smith, Nell, Joan and Genie from Rootschat provided me with the 1901 census info RG13; Piece: 870; Folio: 57; Page 5

Charley Smith Head Mar 29 Joiner journeyman Born Hastings
Frances Smith Mar wife 34 born Lee Kent
Percy son 8 Born Hastings
Jessie dau 7 born Hastings
Lena dau 3 born Hastings
Sydey son 1 born St Leonards on Sea

1911 census has
Charles E Smith, Male, 1872, 39
Frances M Smith, F, 1867, 44
Percy C Smith, M,1893, 18
Jessie F Smith, F, 1894, 17
Norah M Smith,F. 1896, 15 (norah was in hospital for 1901 census)
Lena M Smith, F, 1893, 13
Sidney G Smith, M, 1900, 11
Winifred M Smith, F, 1903
all living in Hastings

I also have 1891 4th quarter Hastings Vol2b Pg62
Charles Ernes Smith married Frances Mary Jarman

I don't know if this will help in locating the parents and siblings of Charles E. Smith. 
Thank you so much for trying

Well,
1891 has:
1) Charles Ernest smith bn c1875 HAstings, son Joshua and Annie
2) Charles E Smith bn c1872 Aldingbourne, son Charles
3) Charles Smith bn c1875 Hastings son Elizabeth
4) Charley Smith bn c1872 Hastings son Charles and Annie

now as he was called Charley in 1901 the last one looks a fairly good guess.

But what use is a guess? Any Charles could be called Charley!

I can give you the full detials of that census entry if you like, (just ask if you want them)  but personally would rather see who the father of the right Charles Smith is, from his marriage cert, before moving back any further.

So that is the birth of a Charley.

But we still dont know if that is the same guy who calls himself Charley in 1901 but Charles Ernest later.

(my grandfather was really called Willie, but always used William Herbert - he was married twice with that name, died with it - only after his death did anyone discover his original name. Then brother in US says "oh yes, he decided one day to use the name William Herbert and thats what he did from then onwards." never told anyone else - neither wife, nor daughter ever knew he started life as Willie)

sorry - sidetracking - but just saying that any of them could still be your guy!

The birthdate I have from the 1911 census shows 1872 in Hastings, the date offere by Woody32 is off by 1 year (1871).
Now for the Charley vs Charles, it seems that with the exception of 1901 Census he was always referred to as Charles E Smith, the 1891 marriage also shows Charles E Smith. My Mom remembers her Grandpa Charley, I am thinking Charley was a nick name that stuck and sometimes you forget to use the more formal Charles on official paperwork.
The 1891 entries you showed me,  I am a little confused, the first one just shows Charles after son and the second one shows Charles and Annie. I think I might like to see the entries for the Charles and Charlie born in 1872 please. 
Charles E Smith bn 1872 Aldingbourne, son Charles

Charley Smith bn c1872 Hastings son Charles and Annie

Is Aldingbourne near Hastings and might that be a clue it is not him.

I wouldn't rely on census returns for exact date of births, The C1872 is "about"1872

Thanks for the info, I agree with you and think that #1 is my guy, I have sent away for the marriage certificate online and should know for sure in a few weeks.
I have a quick question if you don't mind, what is the best way to start tracing the family for marriages and deaths.
Thanks

Is Aldingbourne close to Hastings?  No it's to the West of the County nearer to Chichester.

what is the best way to start tracing the family for marriages and deaths.
Thanks

Free BMD still remains the best free site for finding birth marriage and death references. 
There are coverage charts telling you the number of records included, they are into the early 1930's now and the site is regularly updated.
