Sorry, Lyn. I think I must have misunderstood. I thought Albert was born in Fearnley Street. If we had the number, we could check who was living there in 1911.

This is who is living at 58 in 1911:

1911 England Census
about Harry Bailey
Name: Harry Bailey
Age in 1911: 22
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1889
Relation to Head: Head
Gender: Male
Birth Place: Sutton, Surrey, England
Civil parish: Watford
County/Island: Hertfordshire
Country: England
Street Address: 58 Fearnley Street, Watford, Herts
Marital Status: Married
Occupation: Stationary Engineman
Registration district: Watford
Registration District Number: 140
Sub-registration district: Watford
ED, institution, or vessel: 15
Household schedule number: 271
Piece: 7713
Household Members: Name Age
Harry Bailey 22
Lily Bailey 20

Married less than one year, so possibly not living there when Albert was born.

Edit: Sorry again, Lynn. Just noticed that you gave 58 Fearnley St as Albert's POB in an earlier post - must clean my glasses!

Beatrice's parents appear to be living in Pretoria Street in 1911, not Fearnley Street. Do you have a house number on Fearnley St from Albert's birth cert? There are 153 people living there in 1911.

I've just checked my records and the 1881 and Beatrice 's parents were living at Fearnley St until they moved to Merton Rd so Albert was born at home and within a year was working as a domestic for the Cohen's in Chricklewood without Albert.

It was my Cousin that found him as he started our tree before me,the birth certificate shows that my nan was working as a domestic in Fearnley Street as family members confirmed she was and thats where Albert was born what i can't find out is who she was working for and owned the house.That maybe something to do with where Albert ended up because within a year after Alberts birth Beatrice was working as a domestic for the Cohen's in Chricklewood without Albert.

I really do apprieciate all this help thank you all so much......Albert was born 23/03/1910 at 58 Fearnley Street Watford Hertfordshire where my nan was a domestic servant 5 yrs before she met my grandad Horace Brackley ,they got married in 1915 my mum and my uncle were obviously his siblings and my mum never ever mentioned him nor did my uncle to my cousins so im assuming he was given away to another member of the family as adoption didn't come in till 1926. I didn't start doing my tree till my parents had died so i couldn't ask questions.Im probably one of those trees your looking at on genes a few have him on their tree but they have got him either from me or my cousin Chris Brackley.

I wondered about this marriage, and in fact someone on Ancestry has got Albert with these as his parents. No records attached though, so I guess they are speculating also!

Marriages Mar 1915 (>99%)
Brackley Horace Shrimpton Watford 3a 1264
Shrimpton Beatrice _ Brackley Watford 3a 1264

I can't find him either. No obvious death record and not on the 1911 census.
