Was Gerald's father born Whitstable? Or did they arrive in Whitstable for the 1901 census

Gerald's father was born in Middlesex Kent c 1863 and was living in Lee London in the 1891 census. By the 1901 census they were living at Lowender Albert St. Whitstable Kent. Alfred was shown as age 38 and employed as a sewing machine agent.

The family seem to have emigrated to B. C Canada by 1909.

Hope this helps.

I am sorry to say I do not have them in my Whitstable Humphrey tree.
Do you have the marriage certificate for Alfred and Henrietta? It may give Alfred's father then you can work backwards.
I had a look at the London 1871 census and there are around three Alfred's of the right age!

What a shame that they are not linked with your Humphrey's.

Alfred married Henrietta Judd in Edmonton Essex in 1888 but I have not got their marriage certificate yet.

My first step will be to get Gerald's marriage certificate to Bertha Allen which took place in Norfolk in 1920.

Hi There, which line do you follow?

I'm descended from John Pettman, b 13.06.1796 and Alice Manktelow, down to Thomas and Jane Pattenden, then Joseph and Julia Mary Nicholls, to Horace P and Florence Jessie Goldsmith, Bernard P and Agnes 'Pat' Smith, to Anne Pettman, who was my mother.  I'm collecting any info from John Pettman in 1796 downwards for all branches, although if anyone has anything further back I'd absolutely love it.  As I said, I have 318 ancestors so far, but any info even duplicated would be greatly received.  Many thanks.

Alfred James Wildee Humphrey was born Dec 28, 1862.  He married Henrietta Judd.  They're my great-grandparents.

Hi siwash

I wonder if I have a different family. My Alfred Sharman Humphrey  had the following children

Irene May 1890 Lee London
Elsie 1896 Whitstable
Inez Glenora 1901 Whitstable
Doris 1902 Whitstable

Do they feature in your family tree.

Doris Marjorie was my grandmother. Inez, May and Elsie her sisters.  Elsie died young.  There was also a brother named Gerald. All emigrated to Canada around 1909.

I have the marriage of Gerald Alfred Humphrey to Bertha Agnes Allen which shows his father as Alfred Sharman Humphrey.

The 1st marriage of Gerald's father Alfred was to to Annie Fox and not Henrietta Judd as I first thought.

His second marriage was to Jessie Anne Nealer

My great uncle's name was Gerald Thomas Humphrey, not Gerald Alfred Humphrey.  He was born in 1889, died 1976 in Saskatchewan.  His wife's name was Marguerite F Charbonn.  They had 2 sons. His father, Alfred James Wildee Humphrey died September 10, 1946 in BC. His wife Henrietta Judd was born in 1863 and died in 1959.  She's buried in Saskatchewan with Uncle Gerald.  Alfred James Wildee Humphrey's parents were James Thomas Humphrey and Matilda Udall.  James died at 45.
Issue of AJW Humphrey and Henrietta Judd:
Gerald Alfred  b.1889 d. 1976
(Irene) May    b. July 31, 1890 d. Jan 22, 1952
Elsie              b.1896 d. abt 1916
Inez               b. Nov 23, 1900, d. Jan 4, 2004
Doris Marjorie b. Jan 30, 1903, d. 1994

Hi Suzannah

Do you have anything on the Gambrell family (also spelt Gambrill/Gambriell/Gambrelle)?  I've not so far found any of them married to Humphrey's, but they were fairly prolific so it's more than possible I've missed something?

Kind regards

Lady Nicotine

Hello Dinkey!   I believe we are researching the same family of Humphreys.  My Great Grandfather was Alfred Henry Thomas Sharman Humphrey, father of Gerald Alfred Humphrey (when married to Annie Fox).  We may be able to share info.  Best Regards, Debbie

I am currently researching Henry Tilbe Humphrey born around 1824 probably in Whitstable. I need to find his parents if anyone knows who they are I would be very grateful. TIA Lainey
