London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Re: Ponders End Electoral Roll Look Up Query 1890-1896

Yes it's really odd as they didn't move far at all once she was married. I did wonder if some of her info may be purposely incorrect as it looks like it was a shotgun wedding so to speak....... Their first daughter Winifred was born 4 months after Kathleen and Edward married.....

Hiya
My Kathleen died in Tottenham in Nov 1957 aged 83/84.

I have just re-checked those census and here were my glitches:

Kathleen C Smith b.Buckhurst Hill still lived at home in 1901 as she appears on the census with her parents. My Kathleen was married and on the census as Holmes.

Isabella Smith who lived in Nelson Road in 1901 at number 4 as a widow - I found her in 1891 with her husband George at a different address in a Ponders End and with same sons Harry and James.

Unless I am missing something I think this rules them both out???

Hi Guys
Thanks for your quick replies.
I have looked at Isabella before but am sure I found a reason why it did add up.... I will revisit it all and if I find my stumbling block again will give you a shout to see if I am being daft....
Just for info - can we get to electoral rolls for this area as I couldn't see anything? Also am I right in thinking I would need to come to London Metropolitan Archives for parish records for that area?
Many thanks
Sam :)

Hiya
Trying to find family for Kathleen Smith who lived at 13 Nelson Road,  Ponders End in early1896. Where can I find electoral roll details please? Her father was Frederick Smith and had died by the time she married in Feb 1896.

Any help would be great - thanks.

Hi Lizzie

I have never heard of that register before - does it include all life losses during ww1 and do we know whether any of it was destroyed?

I will take the time next week to search it anyway, as his widow should be the recipient of anything he owned I guess.

Thank you!  :)

Just checked 1911 census and Albert was a Carter on a sewage farm and his address was 21 Corporation Farm Cottages, Small Mead Gate, Manor Farm, Reading.

This is assuming I have the right Albert but his Dad was also an Agricultural Labourer an as Albert ended up working with horses I am guessing this is probably him....

Hi Harry

Thanks for looking!

I cannot look at 1911 census at the mo as at work and no access but I am sure that place of birth was 'unknown'.

Cant remember how I found him but if you look at Hannah Clark from memory she also lived in Bright Street at that time.

Hi All

Would be really grateful if anyone could help me shed some light on my Great Grandad as I am really struggling:

This is what I know:

Born:  Abt 1890
Parents:  Father was Albert - a Farm Labourer (from marriage cert)
1911 Census:  Boarding in Reading aged 22 (Bright Street)
Marriage:  To Hannah Clark 24th August 1912 at St. Marys in Reading
Death:  Between Jan 1917 (last child born Oct 1917) and Dec 1921 (Hannah remarried in 1921 to Joseph Kirby)

Would really love to know where he came from and how and when he died.

Any help really appreciated!

Thanks
Sam  :)
