David Report 25 May 2010 09:46

Have mothers (Ada) birth cert. and yes she was born in Hackney, 33 magaret street. The only reasonable link between B'ham and London would have been the pearl button industry. Gfather was a pearl button cutter.

Thanks for your help, David

David Report 25 May 2010 09:39

Correct again Shirley, Solomon 14 in 1877 was my matr Gfather he married Elisabeth (Shelley) and the Shelley's may be the link, I,m still searching.
Thank's once again. David.

Still trying to find the previous link between the White & Ensor familys.

David

David Report 25 May 2010 09:07

On target again Shirley, That is my mother, but how she was born in Hackney is another mystery. Grandad Soloman was a pearl worker (button cutter) I thought, based in B'ham. Why move to London?.

David

David Report 25 May 2010 08:59

Thanks Shirley, have got parents marriage cert which shows father's names as - John White, Quarryman and - Soloman Ensor, Pearl worker. Which confirms your findings.
Still trying to find how Ada and Abraham are possible second cousin's, still trying to find the link through the previous 2nd and 3rd White family marriages.

My grandfather John White B1867 and Grandmother Jane White (formely White) B1869


Have found Mtr Gmother Elizabeths younger brother William Shelley born in Portland Dorset. born 1885. Now trying to locate his parents
