elias and stephen Latham

[Cas (stallc)]

There is this birth, but cannot find in area/date for same Elias. Does census state male or female?

Births Sep 1890
Latham    Eliza Griffiths   Chester 8a   439    

Read above possibly Paul and Alfred Latham  were brothers?  Census would maybe verify.

[Cas (stallc)]

Alfred parents are given as Henry Latham - Mary Hewitt, possibly maybe connected to Mary Hewitt info Carolyn gave above in first post?

Have no census access to check out.

Hi  Stephen could be a cousin to Elias so maybe Paul and Alfred are brothers I dont know but why would his mother say she only had one child from the marriage  on the 1911 census I suppose she may have misunderstood the question ?

Carolyn can you post the details you have on the parents for Henry Stephen Latham?

Is this him on the 1901 census?

Paul Latham, 33 labourer b Queensferry
Mary J 34 b Dublin
Anna 13 b Dublin
Henry S 5 b Queensferry

Ref RG13/5212/130/47

Possibly there was only one child to the marriage, There is a age gap between Anna b Dublin and Henry Stephen.  Anna may not have been Pauls' child.  Paul also dies 1909

Elias gives his age as 19 yrs and 8 months when he joins the Royal Welch Fusiliers on 15 March 1909. He's discharged in 1916, marries in 1924 and dies in 1960, so not your WWI casualty

Thanks for that all this time we thought Elias died and Stephen lived but it was the other way round do you know who he married ? it may be another branch for me to look at

I can't see any Ible-latham children, but it's possible she was a widow?
