You will need to jump through some hoops but given the year of death you should be able to obtain your grandfather’s records. It’s not that only WW2 records are available, it’s that they are the only records available on line (as I understand it).

Info can be found here…

This thread is related to your topic and should have useful info…

I expect the email provided by Sandra above could also be used for help with the process.

Hampshire & Isle of Wight / Re: Marriage of Amelia Leonard & Ernest Alfred William Laversuch in Southampton 1893

Looking forward at the 1901 and 1911 censuses for Ernest and Amelia, Amelia gives her birthplace as Holloway London. I believe this is in Islington District so seems to be a good match?

As mentioned earlier, you would need to obtain the cert to see the father’s name. It doesn’t appear to be on line.


Baptized 20 Apr 1870 at St Luke West Holloway
Parents John and Jane Leonard…4 daughters

Hannah Maria
Amelia Jane
Mary Ann
Louisa

No dates of birth given. Is this the same family? (Image on Ancestry)

ADDED: oops, missed the part about the censuses on your original post.

Pleased to be able to help.

Alexander is very elusive, that’s for sure.

The tree I mentioned just above has a Joseph born 1882 and John born 1888.

The Joseph who married Euphemia (Effie) died in Montreal in 1974. His death notice is in the Montreal Gazette but doesn’t appear to mention any brothers.

Looking at Joseph….

We know we should be careful with trees on ancestry but having said that there is a tree related to this family that indicates Jane Steel married a widowed William in 1892. They have Christy’s half siblings having mother Elizabeth Kelly. I don’t if the Irish records would cover this time period for corroboration?

There is a marriage in Montreal in 1914 for a Joseph Stewart with parents William Stewart and Eliza Kelly to a Euphemia Ferguson. Perhaps Sandra might put the record up for you?

What appears to be the arrival of Christy indicates he is going to his brother so perhaps this Joseph is the brother?

Anyway, food for thought.

Added….the marriage record on the tree for Jane Steel has a residence related to Culmore which if I remember correctly is the location for the mother of the Alexander Stewart on the passenger list posted earlier by Sandra.

If I have read the original query corrctly, I think the OP is looking for info about the church itself? Perhaps the heading could have reflected that a bit better.

Possibly a bit of the church history here. Bottom of page 39 and top of page 40.

Sadly, there is a burial of a 16 year old Eliza Sermon 26 June 1842 in the parish of Bermondsey. The address given is the same street as the in the 1841 census. Looks like it might be her?
