Biever

[3473peter]

Hi, looking for info Re Anna Sophia Biever b 3-12-1863 d 1939, married John Woods 3-10-1881
I have her father as John Biever b 1831 d 1895, but can not find a birth certificate for Anna, so I am unsure of her parentage, she also does not appear on census 1871 or 1881, any ideas, thank you for your help,peter

Hi Peter

What is her birthplace on the census you do have her on?

And where has her exact birthdate come from?

[KGarrad]

If it helps:

Marriage, December qtr 1881
West Ham Registration District     vol 4a, page 165

Biever, Anna Sophia
Woods, John


I suspect her surname has been badly spelled/transcribed?!

Hi, birthplace on census whitechaple london and the marriage is the correct one, with John Biever being her father as a cabinate maker, thank you peter, ps her birthdate is from the 1939 register

Thanks for that will see if it helps trace her.

Not having much luck with a birth  there is an Anna Sievert in Whitechapel but Dec 1865.

Ah here's a more likely one

Mar 1864 Whitechapel

Beewer Hannah Sophia

I see that a John Biever, cabinetmaker (father: Matthew, decd), married an Ellen Landers (father: John, decd) in Whitechapel in 1882.

Bachelor & spinster, both of full age.


I wonder whether this is the right John marrying late in life?

There are subsequent records of an Ellen Biever b abt 1841 Ireland who by 1908 was recorded in workhouse records as the widow of John, a cabinetmaker. She spent a lot of time in the workhouses of Stepney and Whitechapel, dying in Mile End in 1914.
