[Antoinette 12]

I wonder if anyone could help me..Im trying to find the parents of Charles John Witney.He was born abt. 1845 in Hackney London. He married Jane Cooper on 26.03.1866 in Bethnal Green. His father was stated as Charles Witney. In the 1871 census he is living with his wife and family and his occupation is Coal Porter. Sadly in 1881 census he was an inmate at  Hoxton House asylum and died there  17.04.1881. he was listed as a 'Lunatic'.

Good point.

Also noticed that Charles marries as just Charles rather than Charles John.

His father Charles Witney is deceased by then (March 1866).

Witnesses: William Edwards, Ann Cooper
