Also looking for a family :
George Blake(born approx 1849) residing in 24 Chatham Gardens, Middlesex. Any info on his family would be appreciated.
Thank you

You may be better off starting a new query on this person Keilys11 :)
Is that address where he was in 1851 or later in his life?

I have asked the Mods if they could split this off, so no need to start a new topic. :)
Chatham Garden is in Shoreditch. Where do you get the information that he was at that address
-
Who were his parents -quite a few George Blake's fitting his birthyear. What birthplace is shown on later censuses?
-
Occupants of 24 Chatham Gardens in April 1851 were Harrisons and Ravenscrofts

Thank you for all your replies,
I have very little information on George Blake.
He arrived in Hobart Tasmania Australia in 1873 on the Caranjah . He worked on the railway line there in Oatlands, Tasmania for the Tasmanian Main Line Railway Company (Limited). Through the Railway company he was issued a land order that stated he was 23yrs old formerly from 21 Chatham Gardens, Middlesex, England. Unfortunately i don't have any information on his life in England before arriving in Australia . On his death certificate it states parents unknown. It is possible he is an orphan. But i know it was a long shot but i was hoping maybe with that address i was able to see if he was residing there with his parents as a young child. Maybe he was only living there before he left England.
A big correction it was 21 Chatham Gardens, not 24 as i initally stated.
Apologies if i posted in the incorrect thread, i just got a little excited when i saw the older post with same Chatham Gardens. I will look at the other threads as i think maybe i should look at the 1871 census and work back from there.
Thank you once again to you all.

Thank you for searching you were so quick at finding.
Blake was aged 24 on marriage in January 1874 so born circa 1849.
that is correct he married Johanna Smith in Jan 1874, Oatlands, Tasmania.
What year was the Land Order issued? Any age on the arrival passenger list?
The land issue was 29th Nov 1875. No age on the passenger list but he was born 1849.
Once again thank you to all of you on your help.

Thank you, yes that information is correct .
My challenge is finding info on his life prior to arriving in Tasmania. He came as a trade worker to work on the Mainline Railway Company. All i have is he came from Middlesex.
He death certificate says "parents unknown" and his marriage certificate does not give details of his parents either. It is possible he is an orphan as a child who was christened as George Blake in 1849 was left at the foundling hospital in Middlesex. Which i do have info on this orphan and his life but i was trying to find some solid information to confirm it was 100% my George Blake. But when i came across the information that his last address was 21 Chatham Gardens, Middlesex i wanted to research again with an open mind and retrace.
Thank you all with your help :)

Yes I saw that George on 1851/1861 Census and thought he may be yours.
In the future DNA may be your only recourse to trace his origins.
This is the only illeg birth reg I could find in the London area.
BLAKE, GEORGE ...

Just reread your info.
Do you have a christening that is possibly your George?
