Alice Steel/ Steele/ Steed London 1900's

[softly softly]

Thanks Girl Guide. An exercise I have done over the last 24 hours is to search and try and account for all Alice Myrtle's regardless of surname born 1895-1898. Many had trees on Anc* that when researched worked out. Only 1 I could not fully pin down was an Alice Myrtle Rivett born sq 1895 Linton. Will look further if time allows this morning.

added, found Alice Myrtle Rivett in 1921 in Manchester, believe she married sq 1921 Chorlton John W Dickinson. They appear together in 1939 reg.

22 May 1895   Jan 1979   Jan-Feb-Mar   Tameside   Greater Manchester

The search continues

I'm afraid you can discount Alice Myrtle Rivett.  She is in the 1921 census living in Manchester and single.  Age 25 years and 1 month.

In September of 1921 she marries a John W. Dickinson.

Sorry posts crossed.

One of the problems census wise is that full names are not always included.  So you can get Alice Ms with no idea what the M is.  Or just plain Alice and second name omitted.

I also wondered if Alice may have married a Mr. Steel previously, but have found nothing as yet.

Another couple of things also crossed my mind, one being that she was born Myrtle Alice and swapped her names around as she preferred Alice.  The other thought is that Steel could be an anglicised version of her birth name, maybe from a German sounding name such as Stahl for example.  I have checked for an Alice or Myrtle Stahl but nothing pops up.

Keep searching.

Ditto. Ditto. Ditto.

I think I've found Charles in the 1921 census name down as Bramo.  Living with his uncle and aunt William and Mary Bennett in Islington plus others.

Do we know which one is Charles's relation, William or Mary?
From free index, they have an Elizabeth Bennett, 14, with them (daughter)

John and Girl, It is a real possibility.

Possibly Elizabeth Bliss / Brams mum, and Charles's granny?

Is she the Mary Bennett born Maidstone in Islington in 1921, and thus Charles's great aunt?
