Portland Rose, Do you think maybe it might be Christopher then? Funny how you can pick and choose your name back then isnt it. Joanne

Joanne, image states Christine/Christian is female, however it could have been marked in the wrong column by enumerator. If you do manage to find the birth ref and get the cert, it should state his father was a gardener as he is in 1891/1901 census, it seems it was his regular occupation as it is stated on the marriage cert you have for 1914 too.

Joanne, The census says it's a girl but the only birth record for a Chris* Askew is for a Christian Askew in Wandsworth district 1899. There are no Christine Askews listed at all on FreeBMD. Similarly, Flora is actually Florrie. Rose

I do because Poplar was right over the other side in East London Merton/Wimbledon is the boarders of South London and Surrey (even now) Jane is from Essex and that is closer to Poplar so maybe the children were all born there because her family are in that area...just thinking aloud now but Im pretty sure Lady has the right one Sheila

Joanne Im with Lady on that one because the children are from Poplar as well as the head being a gardner It seems to be a very close match. Sheila

Lady, I think this is where you find he has gone missing!!! so to speak as people have looked and all have found nothing, think the word elusive is what is used lol but if you find him lol then you are my hero lol. Joanne

Lady, If you think its correct then i would like to order the cert but have to find ref for it and then once i have it how would i know for sure that its him or not as i have nothing to go on to see if its correct if you know what i mean. Joanne

Joanne, i think the info in 1891 strongly suggest this is your family, Head is a Gardener (as stated on marriage cert) and they are living in Wimbledon/Surrey near Merton... i will have a look for them in 1901...
