I have the marriage cert for George Elliott and Emily Love. Not sure what I was expecting to find but thought it might help.
They were married on 14th Feb 1898 at Christ Church Spitalfields
George Elliott aged 29, Bachelor, Costermonger, father James Elliott, Commercial Traveller
Emily Love, aged 30, spinster, father John Love, Labourer
Both of 10 Paternoster Row
Witnesses Walter Henry Wragg and William Morris H ?? need second opinion on this as it is the only additional info I have gained from this cert.
George Elliott signature is x his mark.

Thanks Chris, I need the cert anyway and just maybe it will give some more info.
I have searched and search for Charles Allen and MaryWragg in 1891 and Mary with daughter Eliz in 1901 but nothing. So need to do address search for Georges House, Patenoster Row and Dorset Street, hoping to find something.

Well don't think you will get actual Birthdate of John, in view of a Birth Cert. not being found (don't ask me why lol!)

The Marriage details for George I posted earlier, as said, Abode was 10 Paternoster Row.

Chris :)

Can't seem to get any further with the Elliotts/Allens. Mum doesn't remember anything else, only that the Higley residents at Culford Road in 1947 was John & Eliz Elliott's daughter and husband. The later residents the Balcocks were just a couple renting the 2 top rooms. I have ordered the marriage cert of George Elliott and Emily Love, hoping it might help.

Well that 10 Paternoster Row was interesting, lol, a year later they got Married from that address!.

You could try for Death Cert., but not sure you will get an accurate date, would give your Mum a 'go' first, they can be marvellous if their memories are jogged a bit!.

Chris :)

Thanks Chris, you have been a great help and I have loads of info still to look into.
Latest info is very interesting, going to try and match some dates and address up with census results.
Will ask mum about his birthday, luckily she still has great memory.
I don't have John Elliott death cert but pic of gravestone says aged 65 on 28th March 1954 ( not sure how accurate that would be?) would the death cert give accurate DOB?
Thanks again

I was referring to 1944 Marriage you quoted, AQ then corrected, as below posted earlier.

AustinQ Report 12 Sep 2017 11:16

The Doris Wohlmann/ Charles Elliott marriage was in 1939 (not 1944).


The Ancestry reference came from a Baptism, I posted all details, 29th April 1888, that was Baptism date, no Birthdate given on image (as is the case sometimes!)

Just can't see a Birth to match, to order a Cert., it may even have been a bit earlier than 1888!.

No idea why not, remains a mystery, unless your Mum (who you say is 84, and lived with John W.) can remember when he had his Birthday!.

What about this John William Love birth on 29th April 1888, Tower Hamlets, Stepney on Ancestry?
Is it worth trying to order a copy? how would I do that? can't find it FreeBMD?
Would getting a copy of John William Elliott's death cert help or maybe ordering one of John's siblings birth certs with Love as mothers maiden name?
There must be a connection to the John Thomas Elliott and family at St Georges House in 1891 and at 26 Holywell Row before John and Eliz moved in? Chris mentioned "You would need Cert. for that 1944 Marriage, to be sure of things (a surname for variants also!)" Not sure who's marriage chris means but would gladly order it if it would help.

Florence Higley living at Culford Road was the daughter of John W Elliott and Elizabeth Alice Allen.

(and for 1898 (Spitalfields, Christ Church) Marriage, George, Bachelor, occ. Costermonger. Emily, Spinster. his Father, James, occ. Commercial Traveller, her Father, John, occ. Labourer. 10 Paternoster Row, Residence at time for both. Witnesses, Walter Henry Wragg, William Morrish)

John William Elliott died aged 65 years on the 28th March 1954. As no one can find his birth cert seems likely that he could be the John William Love born 29th April 1888.
Going to order that birth cert now but surely if George Elliott and Emily Love married in 1898, John William Love and their other children born before 1898 would have had to be registered again after the marriage?
Elizabeth Alice Elliott nee Allen died in 1964.

48 Culford is is where I was born and where my mother lived with her grandparents John W Elliott and Elizabeth A Allen and yes Elizabeth born 1892 died in 1964 at Culford Road.
Charles R Elliott married Joan Hooker in 1952.
So Charles was still living with his parents in 1951 but I don't know who Ada and Charles Baldock are? or indeed who Florence and Ernest Higley are in Culford Road 1947??
Mary (my mum) moved to 48 Culford Rd to live with her gran when she was 14 (1947) and llived there until 1985.

(no AQ, no Birth found for John W, and no Marriage for Mary Ann Ragg (Wragg) Charles Allen)...

(seems as one mystery gets nearer to an end, another one starts, lol)

Chris :)

The Doris Wohlmann/ Charles Elliott marriage was in 1939 (not 1944).

In 1947 Charles R Elliott is at 48 Culford Road (no sign of Wife):

Charles R Elliott
Elizabeth A Elloitt
John W Elliott
Ernest Higley
Florence Higley
-----------------------------------

and in 1951 same address:

Ada Baldock
Charles Baldock
Charles R Elliott
Elizabeth A Elliott
John W Elliott

Yesss!! Fabulous work Chris.

Although I don't see the birth registered in the indexes.

Death for Elizabeth is likely- she's at Culford Road Hackney in 1964, but not registered there in 1965.

Birth for John W, I'd like to know...(George and Emily Love Marriage 1898 Spitalfields)

Is that Elizabeth Alice Death 1964?...

You would need Cert. for that 1944 Marriage, to be sure of things (a surname for variants also!)

Just to be clear to everyone, this is my family.
My mother is Mary Ann Ricketts born 1933 39 Scrutton St to Frederick Ricketts and Elizabeth A Elliott born 1909.
My mum now 84, lived mostly with her gran parents John W Elliott & Elizabeth A Allen in Shoreditch and Hackney.
Would love to be able to complete some sort of family tree for her, it's proving more difficult than I thought but very grateful for all your help.

I thank you all, it's a mind field of connections.
100% Facts are
9 St Georges House 1892 birth of Elizabeth Alice Allen, Father Charles Allen and Mary A Wragg
11a St Georges House 1909 marriage of John William Elliott and Elizabeth Alice Allen, fathers George Elliott and Charles Allen.
1911 81 Sclater St Bethnal Green. John W Elliott,Elizabeth A Elliott and her mother Mary A Allen.
1939 26 Holywell Row, Shoreditch John W Elliott, Elizabeth A Elliott.
As Chris says above still 3 questions unanswered ??
What can I do? apply for more certs? but who's?
Will look at all info again but to make matters worse, a relative asked me to search for a 1st marriage for Charles R Elliott born 1920( son of John & Elizabeth Elliott) and found a marriage to a Wolhman in 1944. I had ruled it out as that Charles was born in 1916 and now find George & Emily Elliott( my Charles grandparents) were visitors to Wohlman's in 1891???
If ever I need help, it's with this.

I've been seriously wondering how much emphasis we should put on the birth date as shown in the 1939 Register ............. for anyone!!

I know for certain my grandfather's is wrong, and I've come across a number of others where at least one of day, month, year is wrong.

A lot of lying went on back then ........ and probably still does!!!!!

(yes, that's what I couldn't get round, I posted earlier that Thomas John family, but the more you look, the more confusion reigns!, lol)

Think Nicola needs to say what she has in the way of Birth Cert. for John...

Chris :)
