Hi all, I have an update I have checked and 17 Canton Terrace did exist indeed I have found someone who’s mother used to live in the very house, but much later. It was demolished like a lot of those houses were. I have got a copy of my grandads original birth certificate and the address is definitely correct.

Hi Tazzie, thank you.  I have not really delved into this as much but was passed some info, my dads name is Alfred W Mercer and my dads dad my grandad was also called Alfred Mercer he did not have a middle name, who was in the army (royal engineers).  some of the info fits in with my family and the places mentioned is where we all lived back then, I will have to have another chat with my dad and hope he can remember more about hes grandad, we often speak about hes side of the family, I have been reading some of the posts and not sure all of it fits in with what I already know...I dont like making links without some thorough checking if you see what I mean.
Regards Sue

Please can anyone help :)
George Mercer marries Elizabeth Atkins on 4th June 1911 in the parish church of St John the Baptist, Hoxton. He says he is aged 30, a bachelor, occupation porter, current address 17 Canton Terrace, and father Charles Mercer, deceased. The witnesses names haven't prompted anything (Lily and Harry Smith)
As I know his children's names (Alfred, May, William, Harry, Emma), I am fairly certain that I have him in 1939 with his wife and some children, but with a birthdate of 15th August 1878?
I am now stuck, as I cannot confirm an accurate birthdate, and can't find him in any census prior to his marriage, and with a 'soldier father' named Charles.
Any pointers greatly appreciated

Hello, if the info is correct that's my great grandad, think I need some in depth info, new to this site so will have a look
Sue
