I wonder if anyone could help me..Im trying to find the parents of Charles John Witney.He was born abt. 1845 in Hackney London. He married Jane Cooper on 26.03.1866 in Bethnal Green. His father was stated as Charles Witney. In the 1871 census he is living with his wife and family and his occupation is Coal Porter. Sadly in 1881 census he was an inmate at Hoxton House asylum and died there 17.04.1881. he was listed as a 'Lunatic'.

Good point.
Also noticed that Charles marries as just Charles rather than Charles John.
His father Charles Witney is deceased by then (March 1866).
Witnesses: William Edwards, Ann Cooper

Thank you for your replies Charles John Witney is a bit of puzzle to me. I think I have him in 1861 when he is a visitor in Hackney and also states he was born in Hackney. He marries Jane Cooper in 1866 and I also have him 1871 and finally when he dies in 1881 in Hoxton Asylum. His occupation for most of his life was as a Coal Porter when he did marry Jane he stated his father was Charles but deceased. I did originally think his father was Charles whose occupation was a Cooper but when I looked at the 1871 for this Charles, his son was 25 and unmarried and I found another 1871 census for Charles and Jane living in Hackney. So obviously I was going up the wrong path. I'm sorry if I have made this complicated to read but I hope somebody can solve this puzzle for me.
thank you for your time

I can find a Charles Witney snr (b c1812) & jnr (b c1845) in Hackney poor law records in 151. Wife Sarah has left
Charles snr is son of Francis & Ann, both deceased. Legally settled in ?? Charles born in his father's house in "Castle of Kingsland" ?
There's a Charles in 1851 b c1812 in Castle St Hackney with widowed mother Ann. He's a labourer, married, but no wife with him [indexed as Widing on Ancestry]
