James Henry CLAPHAM

[buxton123]

I am looking for the whereabouts of James Henry Clapham (1871-1918) between 1905, when he lived at 49 Pollard Road, Bethnal Green, London, and his death in 1918. I am also looking for his three children, James Thomas, Henry Robert and Ellen Eliza. None of them appear in the 1911 Census

Hi

The 1911 would be the only available source and details are not allowed to be posted here because of copyright restrictions

You haven't given any details of his birthplace or his wife's name and birthyear/birthplace.  When and where were the children born?

Trees on Ancestry have the 1909 James Henry as the son of Robert and Minnie Maria?!

Oh beggar!!!!

It would help if we knew where he was born.  If Robert was his brother - which is likely - he was b Shoreditch according to the 1901 entry

EDIT - 1881 shows James Henry's birthplace as St Lukes Middlesex
