Attwood family

[Karvan]

I'm trying to find details of William Attwood. His son was Alfred William and my grandfather. I have him mentioned in the 1881 census in Princess St. Alf lived in Princess St, Maidenhead after WW1.
Any ideas?

karvan - hi

I'm afraid there isn't enough data in your post   

If you have William in 1881 in Princes Street  -   can you give the census reference?   or at least the town ?   and possibly William's age or year of birth       And Alfred's year of  birth    

Name and street is not really enough to work with   

[Karvan]

Sorry, should have said it's Maidenhead. Ref RG11 1314/34 page 28
William Attwood was born in 1864
Alf was born in 1886

Hi Karvan

Here is the full 1881 entry:

[Mum44]

Here is William with both parents in 1871:

William G  Son  7                                    B. Bucks, Lacy Green

[Mum44]

The Attwood family in 1851:

HO107.  P. 1512.  Fol. 392  Pg. 15

Stanhope Street, St Clement Dane, London

ATTWOOD
Henry  Head  M  31  Police Constable  B.  Wilts. Salisbury
Sarah Ann  Wife  32                             B. Berks, Wokingham
Henry  Son  7                                       B. Middx. St Martins
Alfred  Son  5                                       B.  Middx. St Giles
Eliza Ann  Dau  2                                 B. Middx. St Martin

and in 1861:

RG9.  P. 180  Fol. 62  Pg. 16

10 Star Court, St Clement Danes

ATTWOOD
Henry  Head  M  40  Labourer   B. Wilts. Salisbury
Sarah Ann  Wife  M  32              B.  Berks. Wokingham
Henry  Son  17  News Agent     B. Middx. St Martins
Eliza  Dau  13                            B.    ~          ~
Sarah Ann  Dau  2                     B.  Middx. St Clement Danes


This seems a possible for their marriage:

Q3. 1843 Shoreditch District  Vol 2. Pg. 369
Henry Attwood and Sarah Ann Bedford on the page

ON the IGI there is a marriage Henry Attwood and Sarah Ann Bedford 
7 September 1843 St. Leonards, Shoreditch

William George Attwood birth reg. Wycombe district Q2. 1864 Vol.3a  Pg. 430

William's birth certificate will confirm Sarah's maiden name and thus the marriage (or not ! )

In 1871 Eliza seems to have a suname Etherington, and to be a step-daughter; I cannot explain this   

In 1881 Sarah is a widow.
Death reg. for Henry Attwood  B. 1822
Wycombe district  Q3. 1879  Vol. 3a. Pg. 270

whilst looking for that I also noticed :

Henry Attwood b. 1844 died Wycombe district Q2. 1873 Vol. 3a. Pg. 383
This is possibly William's eldest brother ?

Hi Mum44
Thank you so much for this. I had trouble finding them  - the Allwood bit would have stumped me!
If you can get Annies parents etc that would be good. I have a very old photo of her - my mum told me years ago that she lived in Boyn Hill.
