Look up 1891 - Epping - Joseph Napoleon Dodge

[mark1965]

Hi,

I was hoping someone could help me please.

I am looking for Joseph Napoleon Dodge born Bethnal Green (1846/1852)

married to Johanna Catherine Gilbey

one son I know of  Joseph Dodge Junior b. 1890

one later son Edward F Dodge born 1899.

Don't know much else - Joseph has a registered birth in 1846 but marriage certificate (1889) and death entry 1924 both equate to 1852!

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks, Mark

Be careful!
There is a Joseph Dodge, born 1845 in Buckinghamshire, also living in London.
Also a Joseph Frederick Dodge, born 1849 in Islington.

But there is the marriage:
28th January 1889, St James the Great, Bethnal Green
Joseph Napoleon Dodge (37, bachelor) to Johanna Catherine Gilbey (21, spinster)

Fathers: Joseph Dodge (deceased) and Thomas John Gilbey (deceased)

Interesting post this. Ten years on from last census the children are still "Dodge" but mother is Harris but theirs a death of a Johannah Dodge 1940 aged 78 in Lambeth.

wow this is very intriguing as my friend says there is something of a family mystery about Joseph Dodge.

The wife Johanna Catherine is nee Gilbey and the family believe she was a relative of Sir Walter Gilbey - the family who introduced the widespread use of the wine bottle in England - not sure if there is some link there - this family's circumstances don't appear to warrant a relationship with a Baronet!

Hi  their is also this marriage, and I believe Joseph Davis is still around ten years from the last census?
