There are some Boyd burial transcriptions here

https://records.wffhs.org.uk/bur.php

popped Boyd into the marriage search and with 1851 in mind, Joseph Boyd marries Louisa Warrow 1832 and one of the witnesses is a Jane Boyd

I was having a look at the surname as Ak* on a non-conformist disc I have and came across parents as father Akins William and mother Louise/Lois Green MN Bull, children Henry, William and Mary Jane, bapt. at Holy Cross R.C.

had a look at marriages and

William Green Akins bachelor age 23, married Lois Bull spinster 13 Mar 1842 at All Saints, Leicester. William is a chimney sweep, father John Green Akins woolcomber

William made his mark and witnesses were David and Ann Bull

Just looking at electoral roll, Annie stays at 52 Bloomsbury Street and when I got to 1931, Elizabeth James is with her. They are not at that address 1932.

1881
There's a JJ at 18 Middlesex Street, butcher's shopman but c1855 born Whitechapel

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QK6T-3K2Q

with the Weil family.

There's also a freemason record for a JJ butcher and he joins the Lodge of Joppa, address 10 Ferntower Road, Canonbury 20/12/1887

ADDED the freemason record is c1859

Have been looking at a family for ages tonight feeling sure I am wrong but here we go..

I looked for a Julia and Annie and came up with the Joseph(s)family 1891

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:3T7V-66Z

Looking at the children on this census, Julia and Louis birth as Cannonbury, Elizabeth Aldgate, I think MMN is Levy which could be the marriage of JJ to Hannah Levy Q1 1886 London City

Joseph occ butcher

JJ is still in Middlesex St. to 1892 (electoral reg.) and then JJ and Louis can be found in Liverpool 1901, occ butcher, married

RG13/3417/59/55

1911 JJ is an antiques dealer still with Louis and JJ still married

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XWRT-YKX

Meanwhile in the electoral reg. an Annie Joseph(s) appears at 11 Bloomsbury Square from 1893 to 1897, can't find Annie Joseph(s) 1901 and wondered if she became Annie James.

Have absolutely no idea about Maurice but finding an Elizabeth in the household 1891 got me searching!

Just noting also that it looks like JJ died back in Middlesex 1924 from the probate calendar ???
