Did George and Mary have children?
« on: Friday 14 May 10 20:09 BST (UK) »
Hello

I have been trying to find any children born to George Boss b.1862 and Mary Ann Ede b.1855.
They mar in 1891 St Thomas Stepney.
George died in 1901 Whitechaple They were mar for 10 years but i cant find any children.

Also i am looking to see if Ann Sophia Boss b.1855 ever married or her Death i did find her living with her sister i think in 1881 but nothing after that.
Some of her family did die young,
Mother b.1828 d1869 age about 40
sister b1850 d.1891 age 40.
Brother George was 39 so am wondering if maybe Ann died young also but i havent been able to find anything.

Thank you

Hi

There is an Ann S Boss - servant (cook) in 1901 in the house of Joseph Pyke in St Marylebone.
RG13/102/8/7

There are also at least 11 children with the surname Boss between 1891 and 1901 born London. I'm not sure how you would check though.

Hi k182

If George & Mary Ann's marriage cert is accurate, at 39 and a spinster, she may have been too old for having children.

Have you found them on the 1901 census?

Hello

Thankyou everyone.

groom.
The 11 children are his brothers children well quite a lot fo them.
dawnsh.
You might be right about the age i didnt think about that i was hoping he might of had 1 child but never mind.I did find them in 1901 so it looks like no children.
emarbe.
That dose look like her i will have to see if she marry after 1901 she would be 41 so maybe she didnt marry.

Thank you all again.
