London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Miles
« on: Monday 03 August 09 21:15 BST (UK)  »
Hi
Researching the Miles family.  Alfred George Miles claims his father as William Henry Miles a carman on his marr. cert. Further I found 1881 at 27 Sceptre St. Mile End Old Town William Miles and Harriet R. Miles his wife. In 1891 & 1901 at 165 West St. as William H. & Harriet R.
1911 8 Ann St. William & Rebecka. His is born Finsbury. 1891 & 1901 born Whitechapel and 1881 born Stepney.
The marriage cert. shows Henry Miles married Harriet Rebecca Colwell 1880 St. James the Great Middx. (Bethnal Green) He has entered father as Henry Miles Deceased. I cannot find any Henry with a son William Henry Miles. AND why marryas Henry if your name is William Henry? Apparantly they worked for the railways and the 1911 does show William and sons Alfred & Albert working for the LNW railway. Any help appreciated as I have totally hit a brickwall.
