Find Ancestors

Thanks Stuart and Jax, I've got some following up to do here, checking it all out etc....Interesting if that Mary E is ours and married as it might mean some more brothers/sisters for my grandfather. Just to update you I've had 2 messages from from descendants of Albert Edward and Agnes Bertha...distant but finally relatives nonetheless. Thanks for your digging : )

Oh yeah missed that one Stuart

William Thomas is in a tree on ancestry...no parents... one child mentioned but looks like they had at least two, doesn't look like they are direct decendants

Jax - Charles William S died 1905 - posted on previous page. On FMP as Pearce, too much of a coincidence of names/initials not to be the same person??

Am beginning to think that the form filling was interrupted and the kids got forgotten!

Is this the marriage of MAry Elizabeth??

?? Civil Registration event: Marriage

Registration district: Medway
County: Kent
Year of registration: 1926
Quarter of registration: Oct-Nov-Dec
Spouse's last name: Wise
Volume no: 2A

These could be the marriages of 2 of the possible brothers - the marriage certificates should confirm father's name

?? Civil Registration event: Marriage

So these could be the other three which cannot be found on the 1911 census

Births Mar 1905 (>99%)
Pierce Charles William S Medway 2a 769


Births Mar 1908 (>99%)
Pierce William Thomas Medway 2a 782

Births Dec 1910 (>99%)
PIERCE Harry Medway 2a 688

Sorry, that' the first time I've heard of the others, knew there were at least 4 from he census. We know very little about them. Only know about Mary as she's a direct line .

Thanks everyone, yes I've contacted all the tree owners but haven't heard anything yet.
The children aren't on the census, so that's what were thinking Stuart.
Jax - Mary Elizabeth that's the daughter we are particularly interested in
Gai - you never know!

Thanks for the Hilda MAry death Jax - not on FMP

Wonder if they were staying with relatives and were wrongly recorded with that surname??

As they were living in the Strood area in 1901 this could be their first child...unless you know different


Births Dec 1901 (>99%)

Hilda Mary 1900 looks to have died in 1903

Charles William S death
Sep Qtr 1905 MEdway 2A 375 age 0

Harry 1903 and Charles Stanley look to be brothers and children of a Harry and Mary Ann, married 13 years, 3 children born 1 has died. Father in Royal MArines

Free bmd brings up the following 6 births in the Medway RD post marriage and pre Sep Qtr 1911 when mmn was also available. Cross reference with deaths on free bmd and later census to try and "match" children to parents.

EDIT - this presumes they were born in the Medway area, where parents married and post 1912 children were born, which may not be the case.

Births Jun 1900 (>99%)
Pierce Hilda Mary Medway 2a 662

Births Mar 1903 (>99%)
Pierce Harry Medway 2a 681

Births Mar 1905 (>99%)
Pierce Charles William S Medway 2a 769

Births Mar 1908 (>99%)
Pierce William Thomas Medway 2a 782

PIERCE Harry Medway 2a 688

Do you know who the 4 children were, who are missing from the census?

Thanks everyone for your comments.
Yes I've got a lot of researching to do! They are a new line to us after years of having a brick wall so I thought I would post on here as it's all changed since I last used the site. I've had more joy doing that before than messaging people who probably haven't been on here for years!

Not sure if any of my Craddock's ventured to Kent or not as most of them seem to be around Manchester during the late 1880/90's but will do some more investigation.
