Challis

[peter winn]

Once again thanks for all the help. I have maid a family tree and mosts of it fits Only one that does not fit is "Godfrey W Lea 25 Cousin b b Hounslow"

I have a photo from a big wedding I can identify three persons (one being Mrs Challis Booth another is Rose Mary Whitten) is there a system where one can send a scanned photo and ask if anybody knows any person in the photo?

Hi again, as Godfrey W Lea was b c 1876, my first port of call would have been the 1881 census, did you try that?

If not, his birth registration is Godfrey West Lea March qtr 1876 Brentford 3a 49 mmn West

1881 census:-

William J Lea 68 Widower occ Engineer b Pimlico
Mary Ann 35 Daughter b Sidbury, Worcestershire
Agnes 23 Daughter b Howland Street, London ( Newland Street in 1851 census)
Godfrey W 5 b Hounslow
Residing at Gloster Villa, Ealing & Old Brentford
Census Ref RG11/1347/76/18

Marriage Dec qtr 1874 Maidstone 2a 2019, William John Lea to Elizabeth West
Possible death for Elizabeth Lea, March qtr 1876 Brentford 3a 36 aged 41 ( Possibly in childbirth)?
Any more queries/questions please come back.

re reply 109 I have a copy of a census from 1911 and it say family Whitten Children 3 born 2 Alive. So perhaps Frederick Charles did have a twin. Interesting Mrs Booth did not live with them at that time.

Really, was that 11, Cyprus Street, Rosamond Challis Booth is at that address with son Charles Matthew and Esther?
So you are happy you know who the parents were of Elizabeth West who married William John Lea?

PS as shown earlier Frederick Charles did not have a twin, check Whitten births/deaths from marriage date until 1911?

You have got me going again. 11 Cyprus street is correct Which year was she living with 2 childen there? I cannot find any reference to the dead third child mentioned in the 1911 Census.

1911? Just put in Rosamond Challis Booth

Wish you would answer a straight question, are you now happy with who the parentage was of Elizabeth West who married a William John Lea?
Note the Godfrey W ( West ) Lea in 1901 with Ray C West is shown as cousin not nephew.
