London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Re: Elizabeth Alice Edwards
« on: Yesterday at 17:08 »
The Griggs appear on Wellington electoral rolls in the 1890's
For 1896 we have
Griggs, Henery Edward, Thompson street, Seaman's electoral right No. 1A issued
Griggs, Elizabeth Alice, Thompson street, married woman, residential
and in this year also
Edwards, Louisa, Thompson street, spinster, residential

This is about the time of the photo of Louisa Edwards and her niece Lousia Alice.
Henry Griggs is in the 1896-7 PO Directory at Thompson Street, not a vast number of other people listed there.

Elizabeth ASHFIELD
Marriage 10 May 1829 West Hackney Church, West Hackney: Stoke Newington Road, Hackney
Spouse   James GREEN
both single, both signed their name in presence of John & Ann Ashfield

I couldn't find a birth reg for Harriet Thomas (3 in 1861, 13 in 1871, so likely born before the George Thomas - Elizabeth Green marriage in 1859)

There is this one
GREEN, HARRIET       
Mother's Maiden Surname: ASHFIELD 
GRO Reference: 1858  M Quarter in HACKNEY  Volume 01B  Page 318

Could Elizabeth have told a few fibs on the cert, and borrowed mum's maiden name for herself? :-\

There is the Elizabeth Thomas in Hackney workhouse in 1911.
More info may be available from the wh records to say whether it might be her or not (and when she went in)

Are we saying that William Chapman who was born 31/12/1853, brother Joseph already died as Green, is recorded as
Joseph Green in 1861. Age 7
Joseph Thomas in 1871. Age 17
William Joseph Chapman on marriage in 1876
Joseph W Chapman in 1881. Age 25
William J Chapman in 1901. Age 37
etc etc

Joseph   Green   Grandson   7   Scholar   bn West Hackney, Middlesex
Harriet   Thomas   Granddaughter   3   Scholar   bn West Hackney, Middlesex, England
