These are the transcripts i already have.

I believe those are Maria and Harry's children.

Emma and Alfred's children are:
Alfred Thomas (born and died 1905)
Ernest George (1907)
Jack (1909)
Edwin James (1911)
Ivy Elizabeth Maria (1915)
~This ties in with the number of children etc given by the family on the 1911 census actual image.

Harry D Heeks died in 1910 and Maria remarried to a William T Macklin in 1st quarter 1914 (Wandsworth)

It is a bit of a nightmare trying to figure out which Heeks/Furlonger children belonged to which sister!

Ive yet to find Maria Heeks on the 1911 census...i suspect that she also had another child...a boy?

Hi Gemma,

this is interesting.............whose children are these do you suppose?

Brenda, thank you so much for your work on this. You have certianly given me a lot of new names to work with.
Ive ordered the Alfred Thomas Heeks birth you found so hopefully when that arrives it will confirm that i am now tracing the correct family.

That Harry Heeks and Maria Furlonger marriage you have found is very interesting.....Maria Furlonger was Emma Elizabeth Furlonger's sister!

Im waiting for the 1911 Durham census for the other half of my family....i should be able to confirm the Millgate children on that.

Walter was born in Gloucestershire and this one would support the marriage that you found.

think that this is "Joe"

Brenda

That could be it....it looks like they could have changed the spelling of surname from Hicks to Heeks at some point (or maybe just didnt know how to spell it.)

these ones?

Brenda

I have found this Marriage:
Dinah Griffin and George Joseph Hicks, 3rd quarter 1865 Chipping S

Which is looking very likely to be Alfred "Thomas" Heek's parents.

Im still looking for the births of his siblings: Walter, Georgina, Clara S and Joe V H (from 1881 Census), i have found those of other siblings.

Brenda, that 1886 Fulham birth is most certainly his (and im about to order cert to confirm) as Kate, Harry, Daisy and Lily ive also found as being born in Fulham.

Brenda ~ Thank you so much!
Ive now found 1901 and 1881 on ancesty, but cant find the 1891 that you posted.
Now i know where Thomas (Alfred's) Son's name "Jack" came from...it just didnt seem to fit with his other childrens names.

Brenda ~ Yes and that would make that birth you found a possibility.

I've just found this death:
HEEKS George Joseph 65 Wandsworth 1d 271

This could be Alfred's father...all of Alfred's children were born in Wandsworth, so maybe the family were all in that area?

ETA: Your too quick for me...that certainly seems likely...i wonder where Alfred was though?

Brenda

If his army records are correct then he should have been born around June 11th 1886

23/07/1915 he was 29 years 42 days
23/07/1886 he should have been 42 days old

Brenda

Brenda ~ Thanks, that one is a possibility. If that is the case i wonder where he got Gloucestershire from on the 1911?
