Struggling to find the date of death for my great uncle born born 9/5/1881
« on: Wednesday 04 August 21 11:18 BST (UK) »
I am hoping someone will be able to help me find the date of death of my paternal great uncle called Albert Edward Lincoln. He was born to Edward and Mary Lincoln  (nee Ager) on 9/5/1881 in Norwich. I have searched and searched on ancestry to no avail. The one and only census I have found him on is the 1891 aged 9 years old. I cannot find him on the 1901, 1911 or 1939 register. I guess if I wait until 1921 census is released that may help. I cannot find him as a death in the WWI. I do not feel he died in WW1 as he had a brother called Sydney Walter Lincoln who died 2/21/1917 in Palestine and his name has been carried on as a 2nd name for both my father and his cousin. You would think that if Albert Edward had of died in WW1 then his name would have carried on too but it hasn’t.  I have looked for his name in passenger lists too. I feel he must have died between 1891 and 1901 but cannot find anything. Is anyone able to guide me further please? I am new to all of this but I have managed to trace the deaths of all my other paternal great aunts/uncles very easily. Thanking you all in advance.

Welcome to rootschat

There is a possible marriage in Norfolk in 1914 to Ivy B Benstead.  Ivy B Lincoln dies in the Warwick area in 1955

There are children probably born to this couple in Norwich area 1916/1921/1928 (Freebmd)

ADDED I think that this is the Albert Edward Lincoln born in 1893 mothers maiden surname Jary

Mother Mary states she had 7children , one of whom has died.
Have found Lincoln/Ager births
1879 Beatrice Alice
1881  Albert
1885  Cecil (possible death 1886?)
1888  Alfred
1890 Sidney

Do you know of any more, if she entered the numbers correctly there might be another two ,if so, and Cecil was their son,then possibly Albert Edward was alive in 1911.

Added... possibly Agnes Ager 1872 Bury St Edmunds? was another child
Sinnock/Sinnicks...Brighton,Greenwich.

Hi Rosie99

Thanks for the welcome. I don’t think it is Ivy Banstead. I have seen that previously and her husband and the age isn’t right. I can’t remember exactly but I know I have checked that several times. Think Ivy is buried in Suffolk and she also went by the name of Joy.

Hi Cath151
Thank you for your reply.
Yes this is the right family.
Angus Ager born 1872 in Bury St Edmunds who was the child of Mary Ager before she married my great grandad Edward Lincoln in 1878 in Colchester.
I knew there was a child who died in infancy but didn’t have the details of Cecil so thank you for this.
You have all the family as far as I know. They moved to Norwich after Beatrice Alice was born in Malden. And then had Albert Edward (who I am desparate to find), my grandad Alfred and Sydney Walter (died in WW1) after moving to Norwich.
I have the deaths of Angus, Alfred and Beatrice but not the remaining sibling Albert Edward. I have the baptism which shows him to be born 9/5/1881.

Who is the Albert Edward Lincoln who died in Birkenhead in 1909 aged 29? I can't identify a suitable candidate on 1901 census.  Perhaps someone can locate his burial?
Perrins - Manchester and Staffs
Honan - Manchester and Ireland
Hogg - Manchester 19 cent
Anderson - Newcastle mid 19 cent
Boullen - London then Carlisle then Manchester
Comer - Manchester and Galway

Albert Edward Lincoln died 1909 in Egremont which was in Birkenhead Reg District. He was buried in Camberwell Old Cemetery, father appears to be John and administration of his estate was granted to John Lincoln. He appears to be in Camberwell in 1901 and birthplace given as Walworth. I don’t think he’s the one your looking for.

Just a thought I wonder if he served in the Boer Wars ?
