KEIRNAN   Arthur    marr.   Margaret   Clare   120/310   1879



Where and when did Margaret die?

If you are interested in researching the origins of George GREW  marr. Elizabeth MOWATT, St Mary Stoke Newington 2 Mar 1809, you need to know more about the family they have.

If you see the name Caroline Rhodes GREW, which they give to a daughter, to suggest a related family,  then you might similarly hope that accounting for all their children.....siblings of your ancestor James George GREW.....might produce further clues.

I think these are children of George GREW and Elizabeth MOWATT.......

For each family....use Ancestry Census records, Ancestry London BDM, GRO births... to locate their children. Account for children at each Census. If any are missing, look for them....they might be with GREW/MOWATT relatives....that is the purpose of finding them.

Note the witnesses at marriages....are they relatives.  Note addresses for marriages and baptisms. Use Ancestry London Electors....search with address, and year +/- 5 years to see what names appear.

All the Census records.....1841....1851.....1861....1871...1881....1891....1901........all of them.

Note the addresses where they are living, and who is living at the same address.  Residences are identified   by //...........//  Where you see //......./........// they are separate households at the one address. Look to see if people at same address might be related.

Look for GRO birth, and baptism for children to see if there are second given names.

You need to follow Sarah....some clues to find there.   

And where is Caroline Rhodes GREW?

Why does Mary Ann not sign the register when her siblings do sign?

Search 1841....1851....Census for GREW....MOWAT etc....born stoke Newington.

"....Ann 1811, Martha 1813, James George 1818, Sarah, Caroline 1821 & Emma."
.....who is Ann.......where do you see Ann?.



George GREW  marr. Elizabeth MOWATT, St Mary Stoke Newington 2 Mar 1809

I think there are three....four?.... witnesses....can anyone see these names?

It might be that you will not be able to identify the baptism for George GREW, married 1809, died 1879, but you will have filled out the family tree for this generation.

Do you see a death for Elizabeth GREW nee MOWATT?
