I don't think that the 171 Lever Street is my family, the names of the other children are wrong. The rest are right.

Not sure about the Harrow Road workhouse.

As in my earlier post, Annie married Andrew RUMSEY and Thomas William married Martha Rebecca STAIR.

[Greaves]

Apart from the original marriage of David and Louisa, one of the big problems is whether or not there was a seventh child. Several records point to a William Birch born in 1876, see for instance, the reply above. However, no such birth can be found on the GRO or FreeBMD.

All their other children were registered, so I would expect this one to also be registered.

I thought I'd post just to rule out 

Is Louisa maiden name Jewell or Joel?

BIRCH, ANNIE  FLORENCE  mmn JOEL 
GRO Reference: 1872  M Quarter in KENSINGTON  Volume 01A  Page 1

Not found a marriage with either surname 

Alice Emma Agnes was living in Paddington with her parents in the 1871C and again in the 1891C.

She married Robert MILLS and together they had a child Elizabeth born in 1897.

In the 1901C, Robert (58) and Alice (34) were living in Hammersmith with their child.

Robert must have died, for in 1912 Alice married Charles IZZARD.

There are several questions about Alice:

(6) where was she in 1881,
(7) when and where did she marry Robert MILLS,
( where was she in 1911, and
(9) when and where did she die?

Alice Agnes MILLS age   45, widow, 56 Carlisle Street
Marriaged   30 Mar 1912 at   Christ Church, St Marylebone, Westminster,
Father:   David Birch, dec’d, carman
Spouse:   Charles Robert Izzard
On witness Annie Florence RUMSEY

Alice Mills is widowed one child Elise 14 (possible Elsie), married 20 years, living Carlisle St.,

forgot to add the link  1911 https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XW2R-21F

Alice’s death can be narrowed down as she’s on the London Electoral Register with 2nd husband Charles and daughter Elsie

[Ladyhawk]

Perhaps one of these death entries to consider?

Deaths Jun 1937                  
Izzard   Alice   age 74   Fulham   1a   293    
Izzard   Alice   age 71   Kensington   1a   178    

[Greaves]

I have seen the both spellings JEWELL and JOEL used consistently for many members of the family. They were largely illiterate, so were dependent on an official writing down their family name as he (or she?) heard it!
Agree that both deaths are worth investigating. And will do so.

1881 census, possibility for Alice and Annie mentioned in earlier post.
(Ages incorrect)

She married Robert MILLS and together they had a child Elizabeth born in 1897.

In the 1901C, Robert (58) and Alice (34) were living in Hammersmith with their child.

Robert must have died, for in 1912 Alice married Charles IZZARD.

when and where did she marry Robert MILLS,

I can't find a marriage  for Robert MILLS to Alice BIRCH c1891-1897 Did they marry? 

Is it possible either he or she was previously married?

Have you found your Robert Mills any other censuses?

[Greaves]

I only found out that he was Robert, because Alice was the informant on her father's death certificate. It gave her name as MILLS and an address in Hammersmith, which allowed me to find her in the 1901 census.

I have Alice in 1871, 1891 and 1901. Not in 1881 or annoyingly 1911. Nor for that matter in 1939, though she may be dead by then.
