No trace of John George Pringle has been found on any Census. He is not on the 1841 Census as you would expect with his Mother Ann Pringle and his Sister Mary Ann Pringle who are living at Cannon Street Road.
Rosina Pringle aged 24 occupation Dressmaker born Stepney and her daughter Eleanor Jane Pringle aged 4 are on the 1871 census at 41 Eastfield Street, they are boarding at this address with her widowed father William Raulings and other Raulings family members.
After this 1871 census all records on this family stop.
Now John has a brother who I have recorded on my tree...
George John Pringle
Baptised 28 Oct 1842, St. George in the East, Tower Hamlets. Parents are John and Ann of Cannon Street. Date of Birth is recorded on Baptism as 1 Oct 1842.
George is recorded as present on the following census returns.
1851 at William Street, Tower Hamlets. Others present, Mother Ann Pringle 45, Widow, Sister, Mary Pringle 12, Brother, Frederick Pringle 5.
1861 at 30 North Street, Hastings, Sussex. Others present, Ann Pringle 49, Widow, Frederick Pringle 14,
This pattern of census returns continues.
Marriage:23 Dec 1866 (note: John George Pringle is the name listed but the John looks to have been added as an afterthought) Age 24. Occupation Plumber. Father John Pringle Occupation Ships Carpenter.
Wife's name Rebecca Ford.
George John and Rebecca ford went on to have 5 children and records are available for this family under Hastings Sussex.
My questions are could these two brothers be the same person?
If not where was John George Pringle as a child and where did he disappear to as an adult?
I have searched for years trying to resolve this but got nowhere anyone have any advice?
