It's a complete guess but maybe this is her with a new husband and that's why the boy is in a home.

I can't find James George in 1871 census but found his family

15 Church Street Chelsea
Mary A Leslie head wid 42 laundress b Chelsea
Thomas son 14 b Scotland
Alice dau 4 b Chelsea

That's perhaps why information was hard to get for you ? Mary Ann had been a widow for a long time before she had Alice

Hi there, our messages crossed over, thanks for the info on Ernest's father, this will be a great help. It has given me a starting point.
Cheers, Chris

Chris Report 2 Jan 2008 17:07

Many thanks for this info. You have given me a place to start. My family are not too forthcoming with any family information.
Have you any ideas on how I may research Ernest's father?

Thanks again
Chris

Chris Report 2 Jan 2008 16:18

Ernest b.1888 at St Marys Battersea, London, married Mary Ardley (nee McDonall) who came from Kilkenny in Ireland, she had 8 sisters and lost her first husband in WW1. Between her & Ernest they had 7 living children. Ernest's father was James b1853 & mother Caroline - both parents were born at 'On Tweed, Berwickshire, Scotland' - they had 5 children.
I do not think my grd parents were married, I can not find a marriage cert. Has any one got any more info on this family please, either the London ones or Scottish ones. I am not having much fun trying to unearth any info. My mother was one of Ernests daughters and she married Donald Creed.
Any info would be much app. Thanks Chris
