Find Ancestors

hi i have looked at census in 1904 my uncle james was born? in 58 appian rd and my father sidney walter george born 1912 in 50 appian rd bow london do u think it a writing error or they moved a few doors away from 1 birth to another many thanks gill

other house may of been bigger

My family often moved within the same street. They just rented accomodation and moved to either more rooms or less rooms depending on how many family were there at any one time. Also moved if they needed to spend less money on rent.

hi rose birth cert 1904 james john spencer father alfred wills but mother was marsha wills formerly slaughter his mother was emily wills (nee cushway) that was my fathers and uncles parents. gill

somersetgirl birth cer 1c527 poplar they said we have not produced a brth cert for james wills because his parents are nto alfred and emily maiden name not cushway for birth date 1/3/1905 i just estimated date of birth being 1/3/05 not sure of exact day of birth hope this is enough info for you. thanks Gill

Gill, you do not need to put an exact date of birth, solely the quarter in which it was registered.

hi i ordered 1904 1d981 that was james john mother marsha or martha?the 19051c527 poplar gro is the one with wrong parents so they did not send i will contact tower hamlets tomorow thanks everybody for your help gill

I'd order the Poplar one again without specifying any parents' details.

The problem with specifying names is they won't issue it if something isn't exactly the way you mention it.
