Hi Wayne
Sophia and Charles Marriage was june 1876.
1881 Census RG11/406 Living in Boston Street. There is a misprint on their Surname it looks like Bootle.
1891 Census RG12/1352 Bethnal Green Institution for Sophia, William, and Eliza.
1891 Census RG12/252 Kingsland Shoreditch, Living at Dunloe Street.
Sophia and Sons Charles, Edward and George.

Sophia Elizabeth was born in Shoreditch, Her Family orignated from Suffolk in the early 1800's.
Thank You for Your help.
Regards Linda.

I would suggest you maybe looking for a Charles George or a George Charles.... although they did marry brothers it is a long shot, its more likely simply that he was known by his middle name later in life? maybe to get away from someone?

Have you looked for Sophia Elizabeth Howard before she would have been married?

If you have found her with her children on other census's can you please post the RG Refernce number relating to her entry. That way we can look at the data and use it to match against anything else we find...

Regards

Hi Wayne
Sophia Elizabeth in 1891 was an Infant Boot Maker and it stated that She was a Wife.
At Home with Her was
Charles 14 Years
Edward 3 Years My GrandFather.
George 10 Months.

There was also three Siblings.
Eliza 12 Years, William 11 years and Sophia 8 Years, on the night of the Census 1891 they were at a School Institution Bethnal Green.
These three Siblings their Father is stated on Birth Certs as Charles Mother Sophia Elizabeth Booth Nee Howard.
But on My Grandfathers Edward and Brother George it is stated as Father's Name Edward and Mothers Name Sophia Elizabeth Booth Nee Howard.
If Charles Booth died in 1886 did Sophia Marry another Booth.

On 1901 Census My GrandFather Edward was Living with His Aunt and Uncle age 13 Years also His Sister Sophia was at the same address.

On My GrandFathers Wedding Cert in 1913 He did not enter any Fathers Name, He also refused to talk to His Family about His Parents.

I can find no further record for Sophia, Her Husband or the youngest Sibling George.
Any Ideas would be great to find out what happened to them.
Thank You for getting back to Me.
Regards Linda.

Hi
I am looking for info on Sophia Elizabeth Booth Nee Howard. The last I can find on Her is 1891 Census,after that nobdy seems to know what happened to Her . My GrandFather was brought up by His Aunt and Uncle from around 1893 and would not mention what happened to Her and Her Husband.
Thank You
Regards Linda
