just to put a marker down ...

1891 census of Shadwell, Stepney District - RG12; Piece: 289; Folio 16; Page 25 - 231, High Street
 
John Hurley 31 Head born Whitechapel: Dock Labourer
Alice Hurley 26 Wife born Shadwell
John Hurley 2 son ditto
Edward Hurley 4 mons or 9 mons old? ditto


I cant see a marriage - where did you get Alice's Maiden name? (childs cert?)

There are too many John Hurleys born around 1860 East End to be sure - hence the marriage papers ID of his Father's name would help.

all i have is my granfathers birth certificate, alice hurley formerley sargent was on the birth certificate. my mother who is 88 was told that john hurley and alice wasnt married, john alfred hurley was killed in the in the docks around 1926 when he was 34 or thereabouts., i dont suppose their was a marriage certificate.

Turning to Alice - I believe she may have been the daughter of George (a Waterman) and Rob(ertina) (born Scotland)

I didnt make a note of the St George in the East 1871 census, where Alice is shown born in Wapping.

In 1881, Robertina is a Widow, kids shown born 'London' still in an area like Bromley, fairly close to the Thames?
