Find Ancestors

i believe that in early 1910 they resided at 87 Boleyn Rd, Islington, London

and later

at 8 Garringham Street, Stokes Newingtom, North Hackney, London....

Got that from ancestry at England Schools, Directories, and Church Histories.

Strange that they are not in the census.....

I keep on trying to find them in 1911. Not having any luck. Strange.

Yes Lindsey...
Annie D & Arthur E were the children of Arthur Maidwell b1883 or 1884 d1913.

Thank you Ozi.

jax is right. I meant to include in my answer that people change their names, add to their names, subtract names continuously.

Also it will depend on who the informant is and the knowledge they have, or the questions the informant is asked.

My great-aunt married twice. One cert has her as plain Jane Smith, one has her as Jane Ethel Smith.

I have said this before but my grand mother had the middle name of mary on her birth cert....when she married not only did she now have two middle names but it had now become Gertrude Ellen???

jax

It was a lot of mistranscribed names back then and also I would imagine they forgot half the time what middle names they gave thier children, in some cases thier first names lol

Or they changed thier names to suit whatever they fancied being called at the time

jax

Hum.... interesting......
This idea works with Annie Wills Thompson... who was listed as Hennie.....

but.... I wasn't so sure with Jessie Catherine and Jessie Caroline....
Viewed a census and a marriage certificate......

both have moms named Elizabeth...... which seems to support the idea
not sure it the area of residence is the same..... so doesn't support...

perhaps I need to study it further....
your thoughts??

I don't know how long you've been doing this family history lark, but one thing most people find out quite quickly is that names are not set in concrete. People make mistakes all the time for all kinds of reasons. For example, has anybody written your name with the wrong spelling? I get it all the time and yet it is a fairly straight-forward name.

I think Jessie Catherine & Jessie Caroline are the same person.

Ozi

Did it... great! That will save some time :) Thanks!

And ... I did view the marriages on p. 2. Was a bit confused about the layout....
I'm going to cut/paste one of them and see if someone will explain it.

Also... what do you think about the Jessie Catherine and the Jessie Caroline mix ups? I believe they are two different people. I have viewed original documents where names were clearly hand written. Someone in one of my threads thinks it may be one person.... hum.....

OK, in the menu on the left-hand side of this page you'll see "My thread participation" under Tools. Click on that and it will bring up all your own threads or all the ones you've ever posted on. The icon on the left tells you if new messages have been posted since you last checked.

It is easy to miss the page numbers as they are small at the top and bottom right-hand side of the thread.

Hope this helps,
Ozi

Ozibird: No I didn't see them..... I'll try to find them... getting a bit lost in all of this.

Adriana, did you see the other sibling's marriages on page 2 of your first thread?

If his mother was single you may not find a father

jax

Yes..... Arthur Ernest Maidwell is his son. He also had a daughter born in 1910 that is Annie Dorothy.

I'm trying to find his father and possible siblings.... also his grandparents etc.

I knew his children Annie D. and Arthur E.
