Heath family

[Jules Walsh]

Hi there, I am trying to track down my dad's family.  Heath
Dad was an only child, his dad 'John Henry Heath' was an only child (his mothers maiden name was Pidgeon - this line I have managed to track back quite a way  however..... The Heath side is proving tricky, any help out there?  I know John Henry Heath was born in Wandsworth, his dad was called John Richard Heath.  But brick wall time, Help

the John Heath who married a Pidgeon did not use a middle name at marriage

That's the one, I keep guessing about the middle name - sometimes mentioned (on his son's war memorial post) so not 100%.  Any help would be wonderful xx

[suzard]

I don't think this John had a middle name  -but it seems we have the correct marriage - there are several trees on A*****y which have conflicting information -so I will try to find correct details

I think we are on the right path

when John Heath married Florence emily pidgeon in 1916 he gave his address as 8 Point Pleasant
His father John Richard Heath lived at point pleasant with his parents
John Richard heath can only be found on 1 census with his wife Ellen Deegan -1891
1901 John Richard heath is described as married but is boarding with his wife's mother - before marriage he lives with his parents and siblings at Point Pleasant
After 1901 he went to live with his widowed mother at Point Pleasant

must look for his wife

here's John Richard in 1881
