Children of Edward and Elizabeth Jane WILSON - What happened to them?
« on: Saturday 22 July 17 13:41 BST (UK) »
Hi
After a long gap I am trying again to follow this family and I am not having any success but a lot of confusion.

I am trying to trace the seven children of Edward and Elizabeth Jane WILSON nee RICE.

From the 1901 and 1911 census I know that they have the following children:
Isabel Elizabeth WILSON - born 1892  Chelsea, London
Kathleen Grace WILSON - born 1895  Strand, London
Edward William WILSON - born 1896  Strand, London
Lucy Margaret WILSON - born 1898  Strand, London
Phoebe Rose WILSON - born 1899 Strand, London died 1899
Walter John WILSON - born 1901  Strand, London
Annie Louisa WILSON - born 1903  Strand, London

In 1901 they are living at Great Wild Street, London and in 1911 they are living in 25 and 26 Alpha Square Walworth Rd.

Their father Edward WILSON has added the initial S to his name and on each census he gives a different occupation. According to his baptism, his birth date is 11 August 1865 and that he was born in Deptford, Kent, England.

Their mother Elizabeth Jane according to her baptism, her birth date is 30 March 1871 and that she was born in Woolwich, Kent, England.

I have no death dates for any of the family except the infant Phoebe.
Did the family stay in the London area?
I have not been able to find any marriages that seem to fit for the daughters and the sons seem to disappear. I have looked to see if they died in the War but with the surname WILSON I end up just confused.  :(

Any help and suggestions on where to look next would be most appreciated.

Many thanks in advance
Helen

That Lucy was daughter of Mr & Mrs H Wilson of Westfield Cottages, Kingsdown - brothers Jack, Ted & Sidney.   I'd looked at that one too

Edward Wilson father appears in the 1939 register (at least someone of the same name and exact birthdate does) but now married to a Sarah (A) born 1879.  Both living Southwark and no one else in household.

Prob need to follow up on death of Elizabeth Jane.

Austin/Austen - Sussex & London
Bond - Berkshire & London
Bishop - Sussex & Kent
Holland - Essex
Nevitt - Cheshire & Staffordshire
Wray - Yorkshire

Hi
Thank you all for the replies.

Query then that Elizabeth Jane WILSON 's death is in the first quarter 1934, Camberwell, 1d, 995 aged 62 is the correct death registration for my Elizabeth Jane WILSON.

Just re-looked at my notes on the 1911 census and I have just realized that Isabel and Edward are not at home with the rest of the family. So no sorry, I have not found them.

Many thanks
Helen

Possible death for Isabel Wilson age 18 in 1910 Fulham, London born 1892

You can discount the above death as only 1 of the 7 children born to Edward & Elizabeth had died by 1911 and as you have stated that was Phoebe.
