Out of interest - Who did Reginald Edworthy name as his father on his marriage certificate?

I've been tracing back on Jane King, to see if her family connects to Reginald Walter King.

Unfortunately I've not yet come across a connection between the two families.

I believe Jane King (nee Sully) married Frederick William King (a coachman) born 1858. (His father was William King).

Reginald Walter King's father was George William King born 1850 in Tonbridge.

But I can't find any Frederick King's born in Tonbridge in 1858, or thereabouts. And I'm not sure that Reginald King would know Jane King if the relationship went back further than that.


Ian - If you want me to explain this more fully I will do, of course. I did't want to fill your thread with a lot of information which turned out to be irrelevant.

Plus, despite numerous explanations from very patient helpers, I STILL can't copy & paste without my copies having large spaces between each line.

Following an act of 1869 women were included if they paid rates and were unmarried. They could not vote in parliamentary elections. Up to 1953 the qualifying date for London Metropolitan electoral rolls was June or July, after 1953 it was October.

What criteria were there for this inclusion?

For anyone to be on the list, he/she would have had to have been residing at the address when the ER was compiled..............and that would not have been in December

The 1904 roll for 35 Lancefield Street has Mrs Jane King, but I see you have that already.

Reggie, some women were on the electoral rolls for local and county elections.

Mary would NOT have had the right to vote.............so the ER is irrelevant

Hi KenSE
Again thank you for your kind help
Ian

Ian, you need premium Ancestry membership to view the electoral rolls.
There isn't a search by address facility so unless you know the polling district a street is in it takes a bit of time to find it.

I will have to look up Lancefield Street later.

Hi
KenSE and Christina S

Thank you both for you help with this topic
Christina answer is yes

KenSE
are there any details for first address

Ian

Hi KenSE

Thank you for your help with my research are there any details for 35 Lancefield Street 1904

I have basin Ancestry.com where did you find your data
Ian

In 1901 the electoral roll had Walter Milward, Richard Emberline and Charles Brandon at 36 Portnall Road.
In 1902 only Richard and Charles were on the roll.

Hi Reggie

My reasoning was to see whom was living at the addresses given at the times of Reginald's and Winifred's Edworthy's Birth/ Baptism.
Was Mary Jane Edworthy living under an alias name possibly her lovers name?

Sept 1904 occupants of 35 Lancefield St, Queens Park, London
Dec 1901 occupants of 36 Portnall road, Paddington, London

Ian, Just looking through your past threads. Have I got this bit right:

On Reginald's baptism record it gives his father's name as Reginald, but on the actually birth certificate the father's name is James. And the same for Winifred?

So that's why the name seemed familiar!

Ian - you really should follow site guidelines and restrict your posts to ONE per topic

Mary obviously changed her address between March and December 1901 - she would have been pregnant when the census was taken - so finding the names of the occupants of the December address won't further your quest

If you doubt me...do the maths

No Reginald or King living at 35 Lancefield Street, in 1901, either.

On first baptism Reginald is a sailor and on second a traveller !!!!!
