I can't link Phoebe to the Grove that married Williams uncle... losing the plot lol

Marriages Dec 1885 (>99%)

Fishlock William St. Saviour 1d 251
GROVE Sarah St. Saviour 1d 251

This i think is the right Sarah, but I can't now find the marriage image that I saved :-(

1861 England, Wales & Scotland Census Transcription

Angelina Grove Daughter Unmarried Female 2 1859 - Clerkenwell, Middlesex, England
Adelaide Grove Daughter - Female 0 1861 - Clerkenwell, Middlesex, England

Pretty sure that Sarah's father remarried so that accounts maybe for more Grove children, that Phoebe might be connected to lolol


I think I'll just say that William Joseph was 'probably with relatives' in 1891 ;-)

Thankyou all for your help :-)

Don't think you have the right Sarah Grove- her father is listed as George- same as Pheobe:

(anybody else missing the 'Borough' selection box, on Ancestry, London, since their new additions?, or is it mine that's gone, lol)

Phoebe is a mystery.

I don't see her in 1881 - nor her parents or siblings.

I can't see a marriage for her sister Elizabeth Carter/Carton nee Grove(s) , who's apparently married to a John Bennett by 1901. I don't see that marriage either.

(They are not the John & Elizabeth Bennett living in Islington in 1911, married 18 years.)

Can't see Elizabeth's birth.

If she's the Eliza listed with George and Mary Ann in 1871 census, although the YOB matches, her birthplace has changed from Warwickshire in 1871, to Southwark in 1891 and 1901.

Their father, George, died the same year Phoebe was born- so perhaps they were in the workhouse in 1881?

Although Eliza/ Elizabeth is down as born Warwickshire in 1871- she was born Surrey:

Thanks, AQ - GRO doesn't think Groves is a "similar sounding" variation of Grove.
But it does seem to think it's "phonetically similar" - which I hadn't tried.

You've all been busy :-)

Joseph F is

father of William Griff Fishlock,
he is also father to Edward,
also brother to a William *
son of a William
uncle to a William.
gt uncle to a William, ( sometimes called William James, sometimes James William)
father of Arthur ( adopted by step aunt, step daughter of William with the *)
Grandfather of another Arthur ( son of William Griff)

Joseph is also uncle to John
who has a son William
who has a son William .....


LOL not so much 'where's Wally'? as Where's William? ;-)

So in 1891 William (born 1887) was staying with his Aunt's sister.

Thank you all :-)

That does seem to be it AustinQ, thanks for putting it plainly lol I was getting confuddled!

It's not helped by there being another family of Fishlocks ( also Joseph) in Southwark/Bermondsey areas, who 'should' be related ( in as much as they are lightermen like my Fishlocks in Chiswick ) but can't tie them in for certain.
