Find Ancestors

I wish to say thank you to all who have helped me on this one, some times you can look to hard and get confused.
Thanks.

The more this is being looked into it looks like it must be a co-incidence that these address match both different family's, It looks like 7 Duke Street is my best bet.

On his Marriage cert George Anderson is 24(1880) and the Army paper states B/Green MIddx.

If he gives Bethnal Green as his birthplace in 1911 and his marriage cert then you probably have the correct one.

Yes. 1911 census if I remember off the top of my head is George Anderson Annie Anderson son George not Georgina and Lillian and I can't remember if Ruth is on their aswell.

Do you think I'm just confusing myself because I've found two Addresses that match two Census 1881.

Just for ref, the marriage.

Marriages Jun 1904 (>99%)

Anderson George Poplar 1c 1029
Gladden Annie Poplar 1c 1029

Do you have them on the 1911 census?

Christine

Yes that's the one.

Also George Anderson was born 28 March 1880 7 duke st, B/G parents George Anderson and Mary Ann Shipp.

My grandfather George anderson married Ann Gladden told by my family who are all dead now, in 1914 I found Army papers with both their names and childrens that match with my aunts and uncles, I counted back the date that was on the Army paper and found a match of March 1880 I also matched his death date with what the family told me, I found a George anderson(1880) with a father George and sent off for it, and thats how I have his mother's name and the maiden name of shipp, I then ordered their marriage certificate which came up with Wilmer Gardens and matched some census with this info.

I found it just after I'd posted.

Marriages Dec 1866 (>99%)

HANDERSON George Shoreditch 1c 245
SHIP Mary Shoreditch 1c 245

Sorry....I'm confusing myself now!

Going right back now.

Why do you think that the George born in Duke Street is 'your' George and not the one living in Wilmer Street in 1881 ?
I know you have a birth certificate, but why did you choose that one, ...Did you know his mother's maiden name?

EDIT
Going forward a generation.
Who is George(1880)'s child who you are working back from?

I have on the certificate George Handerson 1 Oct 1866 St James Church of Shoreditch Middx her name is Mary Ship both address is 3 wilmer Gardens.

Personally I think it's just co-incidence that there's the George Henderson living in Wilmer Gardens in 1881 as the other family do appear to be yours.

Just out of curiosity, when did George and Mary Ann Shipp marry as I haven't found the marriage on Free BMD?

Christine

Both states carman and the marriage states Horse Keeper which could be his job looking after the Horse as a young man and then riding the carts later in life.

Yes, on the George anderson(1880) father's name George Anderson,
on his Marriage it's George Handerson and on the census 1881 it's George Henderson both with a H, and both Wilmer Gardens. I am wondering if it's just miss heard and written down wrong on the marriage and census.

The surname on the other 1881 census is definitely Henderson.

Yes Eliza Taylor is her mother's name, it's just that both census match both different address.

George has the same occupation in both, too.

I can see why you are confused.......

Gwyn

Yes I have the birth certificate for Geroge Anderson 28 March 1880 7 Duke Street, B/G Middx parents are George Anderson and Mary Ann Shipp.
