Is this the 1901 family in 1911? |

thankyou for the time you have spent on tracng my relative Ada. My dad had told me that his mum (Ada) was born in London St lukes and that is all the info that he has...so yes...I did look at the 1901 census as my source of information but then got a bit confused with the 1911 because as far as I know, Ada did not have a middle name. all a bit of a mystery. and still unable to find her death. |

What was the name of Ada's father from the marriage certificate? |

I certainly think the two censuses are the same family Patchem. |

the information I have regarding Ada Weaver's marriage is not from her marriage certtificate but from files sent to my father from Children's home authorities in London as he was placed in a home and only saw his mum and step father periodically. it states that she married Joseph Thomson in 1939 and had Jessie that same year. jessie's birth was in the last quarter in the District of Lambeth Vol. 1d page 255.which i found through the search on gens reunited. the surname looks as if it has been partly handwritten and Jessie has middle initials of S.A. My dad was born in 1937. i have never requested any certificates before and am not sure how to go about it. perhaps it is time to acquire the marriage certificate, but live in Australia....any suggestions?? and how much are they? I feel that I have a sense of urgency now as my dad is quite frail and I am trying to piece things together for him....thankyou everyone |

Found it...it's 1d 235 and it's transcribed as Thomsett but Thomson is handwritten (so I guess there are quite a few transcribed incorrectly! |

If the Bournemouth marriage for Jessie is right, they are on 192.com and in the phone book - I'll PM the details. |

Leonard ( my dad) was and always has been Weaver. He was born before Ada met Joseph. my dad was in children's homes most of his life as both of them moved around a lot as times were tough. they lived in a lot of different places but usually around london. I am going to request a copy of their marriage certificate but will take a while as has to come to Australia. I agree that the census are a bit confusing as I am fairly sure that my Ada is not Annie. She....as far as I know has never been known as anything but Ada. thanks so much everyone :-) |

If you're ordering the marriage cert it may be worth getting the 1942 birth as well, your father may have a half brother as well as the sister you already know about. |

No Penny I agree with you that Ada and Annie Ellen are not one and the same person. But I am convinced that the family is the correct one. So where was Annie Ellen in 1901 and where is Ada in 1911. Quite simply there is not the option as far as I can tell that we have two separate families....it would be an enormous coincidence for there to be two James W born in Bow and two Alices born in Ireland to be two separate couples. Add to that they each had a son James born in 1890 :-S |

After re-reading your posts have just realised, you based the year of birth for Ada on the 1901 census you found - so we have no way of knowing if this is correct. She could have been born much later and not be on any census. |
