Hi everyone,
and thank you so much for the info.
Keturah Doven 1894-1984 was Katherine sister, they were 1 year apart in age. and yes Keturah married Edward Staples, you are probably looking at the Mulley Family Tree as I'm on Ancestry.
 Goldie61, I'll look at Kate L Doven, as I haven't seen that one.
it's just that I can't find her even on census. but as with every thing it's a matter of keep trying.
thank you every one.
Lynda.

If Keturah is Katherine's sister, where is she in 1901, as only Katherine shows on that census?

As Katherine is 6 in 1901 she could have been born in 1895, or, more likely, in 1894.

Hi Lynda,

Welcome to RootsChat  :)


Looking at theses births from the GRO site,

Births

Joseph John DOVEN    Dec Q 1890    Saint Olave Southwark    1d  225
mmn:  DEERING

Charles Walter DOVEN    Jun Q 1892    Saint Olave Southwark    1d  226
mmn:  DURING   
 
Keturah DOVEN    Mar Q 1895    Camberwell    1d  1014
mmn:  DEARING
 
Margaret DOVEN    Sep Q 1896    Camberwell  1d  993
mmn:  DEARING   



and these baptisms,

Christ Church, Bermondsey, Southwark
05 May 1891
Joseph John
Parents:  Joseph John Francis & Margaret DOVAN
11 L??y Road
Boot maker



St Mary Magdalene, Bermondsey, Southwark
Charles Walter
19 Jan 1894
Parents:  Joseph John Francis & Margaret DOVEN
61 St??worth St
Boot Maker



St Bartholomew, Camberwell, Southwark    (Keturah and Margaret on the same day)
04 Sept 1896

Born:  December 25th 1894
Keturah
Parents:  Joseph John Francis & Margaret DOVEN
86 Credon Rd
Boot Maker

Born:  August 15th 1896
Margaret
Parents:  Joseph John Francis & Margaret DOVEN
86 Credon Rd
Boot Maker


The 25th December 1894 DOB for Keturah would make her 6 for the census taken on 31 March 1901.


I think Keturah and Katherine are the same person and that the enumerator could have misread the name when he copied the original form into the enumerators book.


Regards,
Daisy

Hello Chempat and Daisy,
That was all very interesting, something I have learnt and that's to think out side the box.
the fact that keturah and Katherine could be the same person, really does make sense, but the names are so different, any way it gives me something to work on.
a big thankyou to you both.
Lynda.

It couldn't have been the easiest job, trying to copy other peoples handwriting onto new forms. I think an enumerator could easily just have looked and seen something like K~t~r~~ and assumed it was Katherine, he could have been tired, in bad lighting or just bored ::) :)
