Title: Missing (hard search)
Post by: Katie Hiscock on Thursday 16 November 23 21:05 GMT (UK)
I think ive got a pretty hard search on my hands,

The person in question is albert george moulden
born in Reading berkshire in 1868 baptized in 1869 in aug (baptized albert charles moulden)

lived in berkshire untill 1894 first wife died and married second wife moved to Broadway, Worcestershire for work with the post office
also lived in  East Molesey, Surrey

last seen with his wife and children at 27 Stanley Rd, Hounslow
Occupation   given as Upholsterer

he was working in the post office then suddenly changes profession

he seemed to have a seperate place of work for a few years between 1906 and 1908 in surrey Avern road and manor road

now i have looked in to every child of his and his wife and parents and nothing i cant find him any where, by the time ww1 starts he is over 40 so too old to fight. i thought maybe he was going by a differnt name but i have no proof that it could be him.

some where between 1921 and 1939 he could of died because on his wifes 1921 census record it says she married and he has been listed as not dead on most of his childrens marriage certs but on 1939 register it says widow.

Mary J Moulden living in Cecil Road Hounslow

i dont know what to look at next.. maybe a name change ? or is there any other way i can look for the name moulden, it has been transcribed as moulder in the past

Not the same person - I checked that one out earlier and there is an Albert Molden b Woolwich living in Plumstead in 1911.  There is a probate entry showing he died 4.3.1937 at 69 Villas Rd Plumstead (1911 address)  Probate to 2 married women - Ethel Mabel Parker & Florence Ann Hampstead - 1911 shows daughters of that name

Woolwich RD includes Plumstead

There's a Mary Jane Moulden on electoral registers from 1918 to 1934 at 60 Colonial Avenue, Twickenham.  In later years Agnes and Edith are also at that address, so she is yours.

No Albert in Colonial Avenue, however. There is a Harry James Masters up to 1922 - no idea what his connection was

There is a marriage between a Harry J Masters and Elsie M Moulden in 1914, so maybe he is a son in law if Albert  had a daughter Elsie with either Selina (1st wife) or Mary Jane

Just seen that had already been answered

Albert does seem pretty elusive after 1911 census   ???

You mention he was baptised as Albert Charles have you tried this name?

On any of his children's marriage cert. did it give an occupation for Albert?

Maybe he is a patient in a hospital somewhere with only his initials being used  :-\

Did he leave the UK?  Have you tried passenger lists?

That does seem a strange change. Working for the post office then would sound like a secure kind of job. Can you pinpoint when he changed?. He is shown as an upholsterer in 1901. What was his occupation when daughter Edith Hilda's birth was registered. Have you looked at newspapers to see if he is mentioned in regard to any incident which might prompt him to change his job. 

And why an upholsterer? How did he learn the trade? His father was a police inspector, His second father in law was a farmer - so not from them.

 the change seems to fluctuate

1891 he was a post office clerk berkshire ( but just says clerk on the census)
1900 worchestershire in the stamp department
1901 upholsterer on the census in berkshire
1906 to 1908 says upholserer on some directories and some say nothing but with the same address
1911 upholsterer in census

every marriage i have for the children says upholsterer , i dont have all of them and his sons who was the last to marry but in new zeland in 1933 says furniture maker, from newly found family members they say that he didnt get along with his son and ive been told to stop asking questions to the persons family members wife as it was upseting the elderly relative.

im not sure if he left i have got things in my shoe box on ancestery but none have any evidence for me to proceed with it, and hospitals i havent checked coz its hard to go by just initials

its a bit jumbled in the  preview but i see albert and mentions the work address which i managed to trace him at on ancestery

looks like some kind of incident

It's from the Surrey Advertiser 7 May 1910 and says that Albert Hanson, a 28 year old navvy of 5 School Road, East Molesey, was charged with disorderly conduct and assaulting Geo Moulden, upholsterer, of 1 Suffolk Villas, Manor Road, East Molesey.  Not much more to the story than that I'm afraid.

Interesting that he was referred to as George. Could be bad newspaper reporting, or he now preferred to be known as George

Not sure why he'd change his surname to George?

Anyway, there's an Albert William George, upholsterer,  living in Kentish Town with his family in 1901, so I don't think he's your chap

there was a duo metioned in the news papers called watson and moulden and they are advitising in the surrey and guildford advister, i think i breifly mulled over it because it was a george moulden name not albert, might be worth looking at again i think

This could be your Mr Moulden from Artington in 1911. Forename Walter not born in  Berkshire

The point I was making is that I think that the Moulden of Watson and Moulden that you mentioned as appearing in in a newspaper advert was Walter Moulden and NOT your Albert George. Walter Moulden is in the right place and with the right occupation to be the one in the advert in both 1911 and 1921.

when I said "your Mr Moulden" I meant the one from the advert with Mr watson not your missing Albert g - sorry for confusing you
