William King - builder of London

[who_am_i?]

Thanks Jo/Ladyhawke/Lily,

excellent leads there.

I agree that the original William & Sons builder seems to be a different family. The Limehouse connection seems more likely.

Out of interest, where did you access the England & Wales, Non-Conformist and Non-Parochial Registers, 1567-1970? On-line?

I accessed them online from Anc*y UK

Maybe this could be Ann from the Ratcliffe baptism (Ratcliffe and Limehouse are side by side)

Would William, a labourer, who can't sign his name, be the father of Ann, a nursemaid who can read and write and states her father is a builder?

Why can't we just find a census with William as a builder with a daughter Ann? Could the William and Elizabeth possibly be the right one.....it may be worth checking if Elizabeth is a second wife?

I haven't found one but still looking........

baptism of son William Thomas King was in 1822 I would therefore assume that Elizabeth would be
William's  first wife  Sister Elizabeth 1824

William Thomas King Born 21st Dec Baptism 27 Jan 1822 St Mary Islington
Father  William King occ Builder Mother' Elizabeth King, abode Well’s Row
   
Elizabeth Ann King  Born 10 July Baptism 1 Aug 1824 St Mary
Father William King occ Carpenter Mother Elizabeth King, abode Well's Row

could just be 'clutching at straws' here.........

On 1841 c there appears to be an
Ann King age 9
in the same household as an
Eliz Broo(a)m age 25 School Mistress
Maria Bell 14
All born in this country

Civil Parish: St Mary Islington West; Middlesex

Haven't been able to find Ms Broo(a)m on the 1851 census to see if Ann is still with her

or could Ann have made up a father

I'll clutch at straws with you Ladyhawk,

Mary Ann, 25, B.I.C.
HAnnah, 13, " "

Could Mary Ann have gone by "just Anne" ?
