chempat - YOU ROCK!

Thanks for the tip on the GRO search. There are many ancestry trees that show the mother as Gardiner but I want to make sure before I just go with what others have done. This proves it for me... and yes - i did find them in the census for 1851 - attached.

It shows Charles as 32 and a Stone Mason and their address is 96 Waterloo St. - his son, Alfred is 7. I tried looking at the 1841 census but it shows Charles as 20 and a mason with a son named Alfred who is 2. As you can see, the ages don't match up???? Or am I missing something? :o

Merry Christmas all  :)

I hope I'm in the right location for this post? I've been researching a branch of my tree that leads to Kensington and have come across the England & Wales, Civil Registration Birth Index, 1837-1915.

Unfortunately, these records only indicate the name of the child, the the year and quarter when they were born? I wan't more... but am not sure where to turn. Name is Louisa Roffe and she was born between Oct. and Dec. 1849. Where do I get more - Ancestry doesn't provide any help.

Please help :'(

Thanks all, I've reached out to SP to ask for a better scan, we'll see.

@ Skoosh - I don't know the implications/importance of Agnes being of Caithness ? Care to educate me :)

Brilliant Ruskie!

So basically, he's a wright and they just add his name in front of the occupation? i.e.

john - wright, or
Meiklejohn - wright or
Meiklejohn the wright.

I know that on his daughter's marriage certificate he's listed as an ironmonger.

So I'm guessing was skilled in making things out of metal.

My thanks to you both!

Season's Greetings to all  ;D

Looking for some help w.r.t. the father's occupation. Looks like John Wright and if that's correct, what the heck is a john wright?
