HYAM / HYAMS - Plumstead, Kent 1890 onwards

[Linda]

Thomas HYAM / HYAMS married Emma Jane ROBINSON in Plumstead, Kent, 25 Oct 1890. Thomas was age 31, apparently son of Charles HYAM deceased publican.

I cannot find any info before 1890 - searched censuses / indexes, GRO births for Thomas and deaths for Charles.  Wills index has been searched for Charles.

1891 census shows Thomas age 31, b: Norwich, Norfolk.  I have searched 1861 census for Norwich and several other areas.

1901 census - Thomas and family evaded the enumerator!

Children of Thomas and Emma, all born in Plumstead, Kent:

Thomas William HYAM b:1891 m: Caroline E. HARVEY
Albert Edward HYAM b: 1893 m: Rose Florence GAYWOOD
Emily HYAM b: 1896 m: Frank BRANDON
Annie HYAM b: 1890
Henry HYAM b: 1901
William HYAM b: abt. 1904 m: Louise Ivy SMITH
Charles HYAM b: abt.1907 m: Annie Elizabeth Catherine BROOKS
Nancy HYAM b:??
....and probably a few more....

Is anyone else researching this family please?

Hi Linda

As this is an old request, just wondering if you are still looking for information or whether you have made some progress?

Hi Linda

I am researching this family as they are direct ancestors. Where did you get the list of children for Thomas and Emma from?

Hi Linda

I had another look at the 1911 census record on ancestry and it lists only 6 children for Thomas and Emma:

Thomas William b. 1891
Albert Edward b. 1894
Emily b. 1896
Annie b. 1898 (not 1890)
Harry b. 1903
Charles b. 1906

No William or Nancy.

Sharon,

Linda did not return to this thread after casalguidi posted in 2009, so possibly she will not now.

I am guessing this is the birth she thinks is in her family:
Births Mar 1904 
Hyam    William        Woolwich    1d   1391

When Linda posted in 2005 she will not have had access to the 1911 census, so probably was just looking for possible births in the correct area, and gave William the wrong parents.

Sharon,

This looks like Linda's family in 1911, using the information given by her

Thomas Hyam    54
Emma Hyam    43
Albert Hyam    17
Emily Hyam    15
Annie Hyam    13
Harry Hyam    8
William Hyam    7
Charlie Hyam    5

Hi Chempat

Well it may be possible about the William as it is a similar area, but the eldest child is Thomas William born 1891 who would be 20 on that list.

Hello Sharon!!  It has been a long time since I posted the original message but happy to find someone else looking for this elusive family!  How are you related?

To clarify my info:
I have birth certificates for the following:
Thomas William b: 1892
Albert Edward b: 1893
Emily b: 1896
Annie b: 1898 (sorry about the earlier typo)
Henry b: 1902 (presumably this would be "Harry" shown in the 1911 census

I do not have birth certificates for the following but they appear to be sons of Thomas in 1911
William b: abt. 1904
Charles b: abt. 1907

Hi Linda!
Charlie Hyam was my grandfather. I was just doing a Google search on him and something come up on GenesReunited and it has his name and birth as Charlie Hyam (not Charles).
And his birth year was 1906.
He married Annie Brooks.
Are you related to Hyam?
