I think what we may be up against is Jewish immigration and the common habit of anglicising German or Polish names to avoid discrimination and changing them at will
Cant find anything on an August Maurice Channell -said to be father of Maurice Emmanuel yet he must have been in the country in 1851 if henry was born here in Shoreditch
Might be an idea to try one of the Jewish genealogy sites

So father is
Maurice Emmanuel or
Henry Maurice or
William Maurice!

I had not found these records, Thankyou everyone.

The baptism record puzzles me. Maurice Emmanuel Channell....a boot maker. I found Henry Maurice in marriage cert as a bootmaker. I wonder if they are the same person.

I feel there is more to Henry Channell than meets the eye.

The Jane Noble shown in the marriage to Maurice emmanuel Channell shows her father as William Love
This is her first marriage
1/1/1873 St James the great Bethnal green
William Henry Noble to Jane Love both of full age , not married before living Bethnal green
His father Wiliam Noble Carman
Her father William Love Cabinet maker

But it is difficult to find them 1881 -not the ones in Berkeley Glos as he is still with her in 1891 and is Wiliam Holmes Noble

And where did Frederick Channell aged 13 come from in the 1891 census -Henry surely too young to be his father ?

On the 1901 census where Jane is down as Housekeeper

Henrietta Channell age 18 is on the image down as "Housekeepers Daughter " NOT "Granddaughter" as transcribed

??

same address as baptism records

Possible death for Maurice in 1906 Shoreditch

Yes you are right, I think I may have her mother or even both parents completely wrong...
I wil wait for the certificates I think....Thanks again..

But we are back to what is her correct year of birth 1874 or 1883

The marriage cert and 1911 census suggests it is 1883

Here is a Henry Channell again a postal worker.
I have him as a postal worker married to Agnes Newson and before that Ellen Stevens and also again to someone called Jane and in each record he is a postal worker...coincidence.

My Henrietta is definately the second one married to my ggrandfather Robert John Wood.
Her Father is Henry Maurice Channell but am unsure to her mother.
