I'm trying to find details of William Attwood. His son was Alfred William and my grandfather. I have him mentioned in the 1881 census in Princess St. Alf lived in Princess St, Maidenhead after WW1.
Any ideas?
-
karvan - hi
I'm afraid there isn't enough data in your post ???
If you have William in 1881 in Princes Street - can you give the census reference? or at least the town ? and possibly William's age or year of birth :D And Alfred's year of birth ??? :D
Name and street is not really enough to work with :D
-
Sorry, should have said it's Maidenhead. Ref RG11 1314/34 page 28
William Attwood was born in 1864
Alf was born in 1886

Stanhope Street, St Clement Dane, London
ATTWOOD
Henry Head M 31 Police Constable B. Wilts. Salisbury
Sarah Ann Wife 32 B. Berks, Wokingham
Henry Son 7 B. Middx. St Martins

and in 1861:

Sarah Ann Wife M 32 B. Berks. Wokingham
Henry Son 17 News Agent B. Middx. St Martins
Eliza Dau 13 B. ~ ~
Sarah Ann Dau 2 B. Middx. St Clement Danes
This seems a possible for their marriage:
Q3. 1843 Shoreditch District Vol 2. Pg. 369
Henry Attwood and Sarah Ann Bedford on the page
ON the IGI there is a marriage Henry Attwood and Sarah Ann Bedford
7 September 1843 St. Leonards, Shoreditch
William George Attwood birth reg. Wycombe district Q2. 1864 Vol.3a Pg. 430
William's birth certificate will confirm Sarah's maiden name and thus the marriage (or not ! )
In 1871 Eliza seems to have a suname Etherington, and to be a step-daughter; I cannot explain this ???
In 1881 Sarah is a widow.
Death reg. for Henry Attwood B. 1822
Wycombe district Q3. 1879 Vol. 3a. Pg. 270
whilst looking for that I also noticed :
Henry Attwood b. 1844 died Wycombe district Q2. 1873 Vol. 3a. Pg. 383
This is possibly William's eldest brother ?

Hi Mum44
Thank you so much for this. I had trouble finding them - the Allwood bit would have stumped me!
If you can get Annies parents etc that would be good. I have a very old photo of her - my mum told me years ago that she lived in Boyn Hill.

A hint - when you can't find a family on a census using "correct" details, leave off one bit of information - usually its the surname that's mis-transcribed - so put in
William born 1864 Buckingham Lacy Green
Then read down til you come to one which fits - ie: wife Ann
or
Alfred born 1886 Berkshire
Read down til you come to one that sound right - eg: parents William and Ann
Various variations on the above - and you can usually - although not always - find them ;D
In this case - not too bad, because it will deliver the results alphbetically by surname and this was A ;D

This Robert Johnson who married into the Attwoods is brother of my great-great-grandfather George Johnson, b. Maidenhead, Berks in 1842 or 1843. ;)

Oh. Thanks for this. Do you have any more information?

Sorry, about the Attwoods I knew nothing until I read your message.
