So you need to decide which is the one you are looking for.

I have found in my tree that many of the men called Henry used Harry interchangeably.

Do you know what Marion/Marie/Miriam's siblings were called?

thank u everyone that has searched for me Flip/Prickly Holly this is my Aunt with her parents also Matilda was my aunt Tilly Priscilla was also my Auntie.

Sarah thats what confused me cos I was lookinjg for my Uncle Harry but as u say its possible that he may have been born Henry??? also i never knew her as Marian they were Matilda Priscilla. Then Auntie Marian? had children Rose, George Elliott

Regards

Susan

Hello Sarah my Aunts siblings were Matilda who was the eldest and Priscilla Charlotte x have found in 1911 Census says children born 8 5 still alive BUT theres only my 3 aunts? HOW do i discover or WHERE do i discover the other 2?? also shows 3 children died? i NEVER EVER knew anything about these other children all my mummy mentioned was my 3 aunts Matilda Marian/Miriam and Priscilla?

Any advice greatfully received

Regards

Susan

I hoped their other children would show up on 1901 census, but don't - they just have Matilda.

Looks like they had been together more than 18 years by the 1911 census - another child, Elizabeth in 1891:

Dewing James Greenwich 1d 1489
Jones Priscilla Greenwich 1d 1489
Wells Edith Jane Greenwich 1d 1489
Wilson James Greenwich 1d 1489

Slightly later marriage:

so Elizabeth not born Dewing (could not find)

Does not really make sense, but cannot see a birth:
Deaths Sep 1892
Dewing Elizabeth 3 Maidstone 2a 370

This could be Priscella with her parents in 1881 - note she has a sister Charlotte which could be relevant as one of her children had the middle name of Charlotte:

Priscilla Jones

This is probably Caroline in 1911, the return is a bit of a mess:

Hi Susan,

Thanks for the PM, yes you're right it's quite a confusing family. I think you would need to investigate individual family members to see which children born during the period relate to which parents.

There's another possible birth after the 1911 census to Dewing/Jones, in mid 1911 they started recording the mmn & I can't see another Dewing/Jones marriage in the local area.:

Births Dec 1912 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dewing Mary Jones Greenwich 1d 1836

Patchem,

This could be the birth of Elizabeth, would have been 1 on 1891 census and would match the death you've found (as her parents weren't married at the time of her birth):

Births Dec 1889 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jones Elizabeth Greenwich 1d 989

George & Carolines marriage?

George Robert Dewing
Spouse Name: Caroline West
Record Type: Banns
Event Date: 23 Aug 1863
Parish: Rotherhithe All Saints
Borough: Southwark
Register Type: Parish Register

No other details given on register though

Hi Flip and \Patchem yes youre RIGHT WHAT a confusing family just began as looking for my beautiful AUNT and WHACK!!!!!!!!! youre right will have to take a step at a time

I suppose it just takes time and not overnight

Kind regards

Thank you for ALL your help


Susan
