MEOT being Mile End Old Town

Have you found her on any census entries?

Who were the children?  What surnames were their births registered as & when?

Have you bought a copy of either of the births to establish if a fathers name is shown?

[CaroleW]

1901 shows her living with married daughter Hester (Esther) Harris nee Plaistow b 1868 plus 2 other Plaistow children

Annie b 1874 & John b 1879

Caroline is shown as a widow

1881 she is a widow with additional son Albert b 1865

1871 she is Fuller - living with her parents but shown as a widow

[garstonite]

is Esther b Esther Ann Plaistow ?? St Annes Soho London ?

[CaroleW]

There is no marriage between a Caroline Fuller & a Plaistow unless it was outside The UK.

In 1871 Albert is 6 & Esther 3mths - both b MEOT.  The entry is under Fuller as she is with her parents

Esther married as Plaistow but there is no birth registration for her under either Fuller or Plaistow

[Milliepede]

You could look for a Plaistow man in the 1871 census in the same area as Caroline.

Or as suggested if you have a birth certificate address to look for.

Do any of the children name a father when they marry?

Assuming a Mr Plaistow is one of the fathers - who is the other father - any clues as to dates/children?

[Milliepede]

Esther is 13 on the next census so could she be this one 

Esther Fuller Dec 1867 Bethnal Green - no mothers name

I wonder if she was 3 rather than 3 months in 1871 but it isn't clear - looks like 3 1/2 but not seen 1/2's before.

[CaroleW]

There is a WH infirmary record for Albert as Plaistow - he appears to have died 1909

Good find Milliepede - In 1901 Esther is 33 which fits with an 1867 birth.  Think age is 3 & a half yrs in 1871 but looks like 3mths

Albert was registered as Fuller 1965 - no mmn
