Hi I've looked on the 1881 census and couldn't find a James born +/- 1872 with father James in London

Thanks for your help il see what i can find from that

Was he a bachelor on his cert or had he been married before? And what was is occupation? Liz

One of these looks like the birth for the James that Gwyneth found in 1881:- James Pickett June qtr. 1873, Romford, 4a, 140 OR James John Q. Pickett Dec. qtr. 1873, Romford, 4a, 153 Ilford is in the Romford regiatration district. Kath. x

What was his father's occupation? Reg

From the official 1901 site.........possibles??? James Pickett 28 Essex Dagenham Essex Dagenham General Labourer James Pickett 29 Cobham Surrey Surrey Hook General Labourer James Pickett 29 London Lambeth London Lambeth Vesting Carman What was his occupation when he married? Reg

Ok going by his first marriage cert in 1887 he was a bachalor and his profession was a wheelright father stated as James Pickett also a wheelright. On his second marriage cert he was a widow in1917and his profession is a coal dealer (master)? His fathers profession is also the same and his father is still living. address in 1887 43 sayer street new head road southwark (maybe wrong as hard to see) and address in 1917 15 decima street bermondsey.

When was his first marriage? And who did he marry? Reg

First marriage 1887 to ann(ie) banks second marriage to Norah Dwyer (both widows) 1917. Norahs maiden name is Burton.

How old was he in 1887? Presumably more than 15 years old? Reg

Age 22 thanks reg for your help.

Marriage number one.............. Annie Banks 1887 Jul-Aug-Sep St Saviour Southwark London, Surrey View Record James Pickett 1887 Jul-Aug-Sep St Saviour Southwark London, Surrey Reg

So, if was telling the truth in 1887, he was born c1865. Which means he was probably fibbing in 1917............. Reg

Yep i have that cert .

Well this is what i thougt reg fibbing i mean as in what did u mean?

Well, if he was 22 in 1887, by 1917 he would have been 52........was his second wife much younger than him? Reg

Put it this way on his first marriage cert he stated age 22 wife to be age 20 on his second cert he stated age 45 wife to be 30 (what a gap) but if he was 45 at 1917 he would of been born 1872 which we already know isnt true or unlikely as he married first wife in 1887 and he wasnt 15 at this marriage. Then on his death cert in 1944 he was stated as age 79 this would make him born as you said 1865. So in his 1917 marriage he fibbed he would of been 52!!
