Title: Total Brick wall!!
Post by: skylark on Saturday 23 August 14 10:32 BST (UK)
I have - George Field married to Louisa Fisher - 25 December 1878 in the parish church of St. George Hanover Square.  George's father is John Field, coachman.  Louisa's father is John Fisher, porter.  Witnesses  William Miles and Matilda Fisher.

1891 - George Field H 38 labourer and coach horse groom b.St.George London
           Louisa Field W 32 b.St.Pancras
           Frederick Son 11 b. Marylebone
           George son 8 b. St.Pancras
            Charles son 4 b. St. Pancras
           Henry son 4m. b. Marylebone

1901 - George Field H 40 labourer paper hanger b.Ireland
           Louisa Field W 50 b. St Pancras
          + all od their children with the addition of Herbert 6 b. St. Pancras

1911 - George Field H 59 Washer motor car b. London W
           Louisa Field W 49 b. London W
          + all of the children - George now 30 born in St.Pancras workhouse.  (which I have found)

1881 - there is a Louisa Field (married 26 b.Kensington) (maybe giving birth to Frederick) I have found in hospital but this is all I can find of both George and Louisa!!!   Any bright ideas please???

Hi

Do you mean you're struggling only with 1881 or can you not find them before that either?

Their ages are inconsistent over the years.  What ages were given for them at the time of marriage?

The ages on their marriage was 'full age'.  I can't find anything on the 1881 or find any obvious, or even suitable, family before that for either of them.  And neither can I find any Matilda Fisher (witness at their marriage) who you would think was a sister or close relative.   I am absolutely and totally stuck.

Yes, full age is not very helpful!

I see that they did give separate addresses. 3 Queen St for him and Red Hill Street for her.

Yes, Findmypast used to do an address search, which would have been useful.  I have tried to locate both those streets to find their districts but to no avail.

Finding son Frederick's birth would obviously help re 1881.  His age varies too. 

Is son George the George Field born 22 Oct 1882 baptised 3 Nov 1882 St Pancras, son of George & Louisa, abode Workhouse?

Interesting find by Heywood :)

In 1861 Frederick and Ann Fisher are at 3 Munster St Marylebone.  They have a 7 yr old daughter Matilda.  Their 5 yr old Lavenia may be the same person as Louisa in 1871.

Hello Avm228 - Yes, I believe that is the Birth of George.

Hello Heywood - Thank you for finding that.  It would work if I could prove Frederick Fisher 62 was brother or related to John (father of Louisa).  Your latest post Could!!! mean that George & Louisa were making up fathers names on their marriage certificate!  And your last post could easily suggest they were playing games.  I had looked at this family before receiving the marriage cert., not realising the significance.

Your posts are coming so fast I can't keep up.  This is all great - but it may mean that the marriage cert is a lie.
Title: Re: Total Brick wall!!
Post by: heywood on Saturday 23 August 14 11:27 BST (UK)
It looks as though they are both found  :)

It must have been 'think of a name for our fathers - go on then let's say John'  ::)

Well!!  That is the very first time I have found a marriage cert. wrong.  It makes you wonder why, especially if their fathers are still alive.  I have a bit of work to do now so I hope it  all fits together.  Thank you all very much.

Frederick & Ann Fisher had Matilda & Louisa baptised together at Christ Church, St Pancras on 22 Dec 1858.  Birthdates not stated, unfortunately.
