Hi Sandra,
The White family are proving difficult to find - for me a least!
I have the marriage of Stephen & Eliza 25/12/1880 and the 1891 census showing them with their 3 children George, Charles & Emily. I think a couple of children died very young, James & William (need to check this). Another daughter was born later in 1891, Violet Rebecca.
I don’t yet have the marriage certificates for Emily to Harold Spinney or Violet to Samuel Buckman but have found them in the 1911 census
The witnesses at George & Margaret’s marriage were from Margaret’s side of the family.
Thank you for the School Admissions & Discharges. Interesting! I will have to take a look at those and see if there’s more.
I know Stephen was dead by 22/12/ 1905 as he is shown as deceased on George’s marriage cert.
I have noticed the death you posted but I’ve not pursued it yet. There was another one in 1901 registered at Camberwell which I wondered about also.
You’re correct Sandra, about a remarriage for Eliza. On George’s death certificate it states….
Eliza White now Clark nee Lane ( it could be Clarke - very bad copy).
I’ve looked at the marriage index and there are a few possibilities I need to check out
Do you think she could have married William Stone previous to Mr Clark/e?
I did wonder if, after Stephen died, that the family ended up in the work/poor house and thats a reason as to why I can’t find them in 1901 census - just a thought!
Thank you again for all your help.
