Census Lookup and Resource Requests / still missing Charles

Some of you kind people helped me by looking for this missing Charles in 1901 census and I thought you had found him but now I have more details I realise its not the one.  I wonder if anyone would be kind enough to have another look.  These are his details.

Charles Alfred George Edwards born 1899  30,Wordsworth Street, Hove, Brighton, Sussex.  Fathes name Harry a builders labourer and Mothers name Jane, maiden name of Packham.

I want to try to get back further and hope To find Harry on the census to get a birth year.

Thanks to anyone having a go.

Thank you spidermonkey but farnham wouldn't come under that area and the surname is definitely Edwards although I know they mistranscribe a lot.

Thanks for looking anyway I do appreciate it.

Thank you Heywood,  I think we may be on the right track here as she had told me she thought the birth date was March 4th but was absolutely sure so I hadn't put that.

I don't knowwhere the Charles bit came in but aswe know our ancestors were tricky blighters and didn't always go by their given name.

I have just realised my friends brother is called Stephen, I wonder if he was named after his great grandfather.

Thank you both very much its very kind of you.  I think the one Annie found seems most likely as my friend seemed pretty sure of the birth year.  I wonder if maybe Charles was his second name but he was known by that.  I know that often happens.  I will pass this information on to her and maybe something else will ring a bell as in the rest of the family.

I'll give her the other ones as well just in case but she was sure about Eastbourne.

Thanks again for your help, I told her all about this site and said I was sure someone here could help.

I wonder if some kind person with access to 1901 census would havea little look for the following person.

Charles (possibly George as middle name) Edwards born in 1898 I think in or around Eastborne.  I have tried to find him in FBMD ann the IGI to no avail and wondered ifhe would pop up age  about 3 in the 1901 census.  It would be great to find his parents names as we could then maybe track back from there.

He is not my relative but  have bored the wotsits off my workmate by going on about family history and now she is interested and gave me this to work on.  I smugly said we will have a look in FBMD and then go on to IGI and soon have some clues. Armed with his info we got on the pc at work (in our break time of course) it will  teach me not to try and be so clever as there was no sign of him that I could find.

So please please help me out so that  can take something in for her tomorrow or she wll think I am all puff and wind and even if thats true no point in proving it.  Seriously though we are great mates and I would love to give her some decent information.

Sorry Jim I didn't mean to take your thread off topic, it was only because Ramdaskm had come on here I took the opportunity to say thanks as I was so chuffed to get a match.

Ramdaskm, I would just like to say I have had two very good matches to my husbands family on Tribal Pages, these have really helped get that side of the family history going, so thanks very much.

When we asked our mum what was for dinner she always replied

Bread and pull it,  the further you pull it the further it will go.


Her other favourite, when we moaned that something was not fair, she would say

Well its market then.
