have you got the right man on 1871 census please if so, post the details

No i dont think i have i wasnt able to find him thats why i cannot work back i only have his birth cert and his marriages and death but nothing for his parents.

What was the fathers occupation on the birth certificate & does it give an address for place of birth or informant?

fathers occ General Hawker born 9 upper green street informant mother marks with X.

have a look at this 1871 image James Pickett abt 1848 Lambeth Head St George the Martyr Southwark London James Pickett abt 1870 Lambeth Son St George the Martyr Southwark London Thomas Pickett abt 1853 Lambeth Son St George the Martyr Southwark London Ann Pickett abt 1841 Southwark Wife St George the Martyr Southwark London James occupation woodcutter the age for James on the image is given as 5 and for Thomas 18 months (the word months is written in between the ages of these two children) When it has been transcribed James´age has been calculated as 5 months, and Thomas as 18 years.

Found this although the names tally the fathers occupation is different 1891 census Address: 24, Pocock Street, St George The Martyr Southwark PICKETT, James Head Married M 54 Woodcutter Lambeth London PICKETT, Ann Wife Married F 48 Lambeth London PICKETT, Harry Son Single M 20 Woodcutter Southwark London PICKETT, William Son Single M 18 Printer Southwark London PICKETT, John Son Single M 16 Woodcutter Southwark London PICKETT, Annie Daughter F 14 Scholar Southwark London PICKETT, Martha Daughter F 8 Scholar Southwark London PICKETT, Emma Daughter F 5 Scholar Southwark London PICKETT, Grace Daughter F 3 Southwark London If this is your James & Ann then this is James with his parents in 1861 Census Address: 39, Gun Street, St George The Martyr, Southwark PICKETT, James Head Married M 48 Fire Wood Cutter Greenwich Kent PICKETT, Sarah Wife Married F 43 Fire Wood Cutter St Saviour Surrey ** PICKETT, James Son Unmarried M 24 Fire Wood Cutter Lambeth Surrey PICKETT, Mary Ann Daughter Unmarried F 17 Fire Wood Cutter Lambeth Surrey PICKETT, Jane Daughter F 15 Fire Wood Cutter Lambeth Surrey If this is your James then the marriage between him & Ann took place after the census in 1861

sorry have got a wrong name on that 1871 - will go back in a mo and correct it - bit confusing as there are 2 Pickett families on same page - now corrected

looks like could be do you think im never sure really like i said above thats all i know not much help am i

well on james 1864 marriage to his first wife annie banks his occ is a wheelright not sure if this helps

The 1871 census that I found - address is 44 Gun Street. Another Pickett family - James and Sarah - living at 39 Gun Street (same as Jess´s 1861 census)

i just really dont know what do you think really stuck!!

in the 1861 says wife sarah do you think he married twice then? it is possible although james 1864 mum was ann so he wouldnt off been on 1861 as he was born 1864

just a thought - but are you sure birth certificate gives address as upper green street - and not upper gun street ?

i am getting all confussed i dont know ahhh help x

def says 9 upper green street theres no mistaking it its writen in born box and informant box could been an error i suppose?

any more ideas anyone? anyone had any luck with marriage ann taylor james pickett?

If the family in 1891 are your James parents then the James & Sarah in the 1861 census would be your James (born 1864) grandparents

i see ok i still cannot find a marriage for james pickett and ann taylor at all?
