James Chandler married Amelia Reed 1873

[avidt]

Hi All

I am trying to find the birth of this James Chandler, the Census shows he was born in 1855 which would have meant he was aged 18 when married on 21st July 1873. I believe his father was William Chandler, but I have not been able to tie down a birth either in Newington or Pancras where he moved to . His son James Charles Chandler was born 5th December 1873 Camden Town. Any help would be much appreciated.

The marriage at St Mary, Newington gives James occ as Hawker and his father William Chandler a Salesman.

Hi Rosie

Do you have James and Amelia on census after their marriage

Hi Rosie

In the 1881 Census I seem to remember shows James born 1855 and Ameila born1858 which would have made her 15 when she married.

Kind Regards

What happened to the family after 1881 as I see that census is partly illegible

 .  .  Not just me then.

Presumably you have young James after 1881

I assume you have Amelia in 1871.  She is living at 23 Kent Street which is the address goiven for them both on the marriage.
