Searching for the children and grandchildren of Jessie Catherine Elizabeth Thompson born 1879 in Stepney, London. Maiden name Berles.... she married George Thompson.

What exactly are you searching for? Presumably you must know she married and where she lived. Do you know anything about them? Who she married,etc?

I think Kate Sainsbury is the missing bride from the page below - marrying John P H Maidwell

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Deyes James H Dowling Brentford 3a 143
Dowling Beatrice F Deyes Brentford 3a 143
Maidwell John P H Sainsbury Brentford 3a 143

This would make the bride approx 34 yrs old based on your 1879 birth - which seems quite old for a first marriage - as Ozibird, do you have any other info? How does Jessie fit into your tree?

Yes... It's Jessie Catherine... not Jessie Caroline

George is husband..... and infant son.... also a George
Other children born later are Albert, Bertha, Jessie, Iris, and Charles
Trying to find their children who would be my cousins
George's sister Minnie married a Maidwell..... that's the connection.

As you know the names of the children, have you looked on Freebmd for possible marriages please?

What was "Minnie" short for please?

Which of the children is your direct line please - no point in anyone looking for descendants that you already know of if they are your siblings.

I don't see a Maidwell marriage to a Jessie, Bertha, Iris or Minnie on Freebmd. Are you certain that the surname was Maidwell?

This looks like a birth from the marriage that Staffslass has posted but I am not seeing Arthur and Minnie on the 1911 census.
