John Report 30 Mar 2017 16:13

Hello

Can anybody find this family after 1861?

This is them in 1851
Living Morants Court Hill, Chevening
John Box Head Male 30 1821 Ag Lab Brasted, Kent
Eliza Box Wife Female 26 1825 Wife Of Lab Otford, Kent
William Box Son Male 2 1849 Son Ag Lab Otford, Kent
Ruben Box Son Male 1w 1851 Son Ag Lab Chevening, Kent

Husband John dies in 1859

This is them in 1861
Living 22 Stanhope St.Pauls Greenwich.
Eliza Chattenton Widow Female 35 1826 Laundress Deptford, Kent
William Box Son - Male 12 1849 - Deptford, Kent
Rhuben Box Son - Male 10 1851 - Deptford, Kent
John Box Son - Male 7 1854 - Deptford, Kent
George Box Son - Male 5 1856 - Deptford, Kent
Eliza Box Daughter - Female 4 1857 - Bexleyheath
Ann Box Daughter - Female 2 1859 - Bexleyheath

I am not sure why Eliza is listed as Chattenton. Also I think the birth place should be Otford and not Deptford for the first 5 listed.


Thanks

John

the first children's births were recorded with mother's name SPICKET and the later children as SPICKETT so that's the right marriage

e.g.

Malyon it is not SPRIKET it is as I posted, SPICKET for the older children and SPICKETT for the younger children

How could the mother have been unmarried when the marriage occurred before their births? the absence of a mother's surname does not necessarily mean unmarried, these were early registrations and it may just not have been recorded.
