The 1901 occupation is housekeeper ofice I think

So who was Ada?

The Annie Ellen in 1911 with father James William is definitely the Annie Ellen who marries Ernest Nottingham (father James William works in a stationer's office).

It seems unlikely that Jas W with wife Alice born Ireland son James that matches and daughter Ada whose birth year matches is not the same family. Can't make out the occupation but it is something in office

But where was Annie Ellen in 1901,and where is Ada in 1911 if that is true?

So to get Ada's marriage certificate to Joseph Thomson to check on father's name and occupation is vital

Annie Ellen and Ernest seem to have returned to his native north east . He died there in 1957 and she in 1973

I have been tracking the family through London Electoral rolls

1945 Joseph S and Ada Thomson -- Newington Butts

1950 ? Joseph and Ada Thomson -- 73 Aytoun Road - Brixton

1956 ? Joseph and Ada Thomson -- 45 Denbigh Street - Westminster

Is there any idea as to where they may have lived in London, was Leonard known as Weaver or Thomson

cant track Joseph as Joseph S because another one is married to a Rose M in the same area , but it looks as if he dropped the S

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

Also think that birth in 1942 mentioned earlier by Jax could be worth checking out - can't see another Thomson/Weaver marriage local to the area to explain it.

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!

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

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

Penny do you have a birth for Jessie because I can't find one

What was the name of Ada's father from the marriage certificate?
Age at marriage, occupations, witnesses?
Thank-you.

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.

Is this the 1901 family in 1911?

Hi Jax
thankyou for your help. that is definately Ada's marriage and she had my Dad leonard under her maiden name Weaver in 1937 and a daughter Jessie under Thomson born in 1939, same quarter as the marriage but Im not sure about any other children in 1942. it is possible though and wrth looking into. Ada was born in London St Lukes I believe, and was most likely 42 when she married....I remember she seemed older when I was young in England and then we emigrated to Australia in 1969 and never saw her again. I think she most likely stayed around London or possibly Bournemouth where Jessie married...and Im afraid thats all I really know. I was so hoping I would be able to find something about her death, when and where and possible circumstances. I have also been trying to locate Jessie but no luck.

thanks again
Penny
