William POOLEY 1909 Fulham Baptism Look Up Please?

[Girl Guide]

I've found a William Pooley born c.1909 in Fulham, Middlesex in the 1911

Can't seem to find any likely looking birth registration for him.  Does anyone have access to baptism records for Fulham to see if he is there anywhere?

Father appears to be William as well, born c.1866 (widower).

Hopefully I haven't given too many details from the 1911!

Hi GG

You started the topic so you can transcribe ALL the details from the 1911 census.

Oh I didn't know that.  Well in that case......

I have found a William Pooley boarder, widower, occ. plasterer born c.1866 in Battersea, Surrery

With him is William Pooley, son, age 2, born 1909 in Fulham, Middlesex

They are both living with the Lewis family at 5 Gladstone Terrace, Battersea

I have not been able to find any likely birth registration for William Jnr so I am hoping that there is a baptism record for him in the Fulham area.

Also can't see a birth registration for William Snr that covers Battersea.

I am wondering if William Snr is the one that I have another thread on:-

Wiliam Robert Poole born 1866 - couldn't find him as this on the 1911.

Anyway if anyone can find a baptism for William Jnr in Fulham it may verify or otherwise my thoughts on William Snr.

Sorry if it seems a bit tangled!

Thanks for those K.  Could be any one of them couldn't it? 

That's why I'm hoping that someone can find a baptism record in a Fulham church somewhere for the 1909 William.

Hi, a possible birth
June 1909 Fulham 1a 244
Finch, William George Pooley
mother -
(the dreaded dash!)

A death in Wandsworth, March 1981
Pooley, William George
d-o-b 23 Feb 1909

Put that into the 1939 free search and he comes up in Fulham.
But if your chap was the father of the 2 year old from 1911, would the son stay Pooley rather than Poole? And didn't William already have a son William?

Hi Jon

I just thought that this William Pooley might be the one who is on the 1901 census with his sons as Poole.  A mis-hearing of the surname was what occurred to me.

I just haven't been able to locate William Robert Poole on the 1911 census at all.  No matter what I try he doesn't pop up.

The only two births for Pooley between 1865 and 1867 are for Greenwich and Islington.  William Snr gives his birthplace as Battersea which I believe comes under the Wandsworth registration district.

I wasn't sure if William Jnr might have some other names or not.  This is why I am hoping a baptism could be found in the Fulham area to clarify who his parents are.

William Snr says he is a Widower so whatever wife he had would presumably have died between 1909 and 1911.

All rather speculative I'm afraid and confusing to some degree.

Arrgh!! I'm tearing my hair out in complete frustration with the two William POOLEY's from the 1911 census record!

I just cannot find anything to clarify who they are attached to, other than to each other in 1911.

No suitable looking birth record for either of them going by the birth places given, Battersea for Snr and Fulham for Jnr.

There is only one suitable POOLEY female death between 1908 and 1911 Middlesex county, Florence Annie aged 34, and she is attached to a Harry Pooley in the 1901 census.  Harry appears as a widower in the 1911 with his family.  No child.

The only one for the counties of Surrey & London has her death registered in December quarter of 1911 so can't be her (Minnie Pooley).

I'm still half convinced that William Pooley is my William Robert Poole (link to thread given in reply#3).  How can I prove or disprove my theory?  Finding a baptism for William Jnr is my one hope of maybe clarifying this.........So where can I find baptisms for Fulham in 1909??

So where can I find baptisms for Fulham in 1909??

At the London Metropolitan Archives, most of them, but you don't know that he was baptized or, if he was, whereabouts in Fulham he might have been born.
There might be a hope that ancestry will update the London baptisms collection and include more years, as they did recently with the school records.

No suitable looking birth record for either of them going by the birth places given, Battersea for Snr and Fulham for Jnr.

I still like William George Pooley Finch!
