Need help tracing George John Titson and family

[avm228]

Hello all

George John Titson (indexed TITSONK in the typed GRO register, apparently in error) married Phoebe Simmons in Lambeth, Dec qtr 1907.

They had a son, Reginald Titson, in late 1911 whose birth was registered in Lambeth, Mar qtr 1912. He was baptised as Reggie Titson at All Saints, South Lambeth, on 22 Dec 1911. Abode was 41 Jeffreys Rd which was a maternity nursing home, so not the family’s usual address.

I have no evidence at the moment of being related to these people, but Titson is a very rare surname and I am hoping they may link somehow to my own Titsons from South London (my earliest known Titson is William, c1802-1848, of Southwark).

If anyone can find any records of George John Titson and/or his family members other than the records I have mentioned, I’d be grateful.

A tree on Ancestry shows Reggie as Reginald John Titson Simmons - died 1976

The death reg has him as Reginald John Simmons b 11.12.1911 died Ealing 1976

There is a birth for a Joseph George Titsink in 1908 Paddington - mmn Simmons

Hi avm228,

Considering they drop of the face of the records after 1907 **  marriage, maybe the the TITSONK isn't an error?  ( though it looks like the son became known as "Simmons"?"

** Edit but Carole's 1908 birth looks good

Ah - you very clever people, thank you! So it looks as though Titsink was the real name of this family and they weren’t originally from south of the river. Probably not connected with my Titsons, then. But I will bear this surname in mind if my search for William Titson’s father continues to be fruitless!
