Moogaloos Scavenger Hunt Part 2... Everyone Welcome To Join In

[Tephra]

OK, let's start with who you have definitely found, who are maybes and then who haven't been found.

Is that easier??

Jaywit,

There's a baptism for Lily Martha Wheeler at St Jude Kensal Green on 5th May 1898. Parents Sarah Emily Wheeler and Hyda Wheeler, a carpenter, of 6 Ashmore Road

So it looks like the Lily Martha birth I found was not the child with Eliza Wheeler in 1901.
So who were Alice and Lily twins?
Can anyone find a possible pair of twins called Lily and Alice born c1897?

I'll be back later to have a look

Jaywit, I think Alice and Lily are 14 and younger brother Ernest is 13.

Shaun Thanks for that, checking back they are on 1891 age 4.

Now the problem is the tree on Ancestry ( now I know we don't believe all some of those trees say)
says  that her her birth was 1897 and this about her marriage.

1925
 
Age: 28 Marriage to Alfred goss
St Marylebone, London, England
1st quarter volume 1a page 913

It also gives her parents as Edward and Eliza, so is that age a typo or did she say she was 28 instead of 38 on her marriage?

In my mind there are still too many loose ends on the London Wheeler family.

My Wheeler family seems to be all loose end lol.  x

Moog never mind

I think that tree on Ancestry is shall we say slightly wrong.
It says Alice had 9 children from her marriage to Mr Goss and in fact looking at the birth reg there could even be more born up to late 1930s/ early 1940s.
So not the children of someone born 1887 I think.

So have they attached their Alice to the wrong Wheeler family?
Is their tree all guess work?

It still doesn't solve the problem of that family there is still  something not tying up.

I'm just thinking.  As my father is the youngest of his siblings, then in 1937 when Charles died it is highly likely that his  age is  probably correct on his death cert as his youngest child(my dad Sidney Young) would have been 28.  Given that some of the children were born before 1901 they would have been going on for their late thirties/early 40s, so he probably would have been 64 when he died.  x x

[jaywit]

Moog I don't think the age on death was far out but as I have said before ages on death certificates are only as good as the informant knows at the time.
The information on the army records was given by Charles himself so unless he was deliberatly lying in 1914 that age should be accurate.

As you've all probably lost the plot by now  I've left a post on the reason for Charles Young's discharge here:

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,425321.msg2905917.html#msg2905917

Essentially he was discharged due to being considered unfit for service within 3 months of enlistment.
