Title: Frederick Albert Lodge, b. circa 1894 (assume England)
Post by: Willison on Sunday 10 December 23 21:16 GMT (UK)
Hi, I am looking for the origins of Frederick Albert Lodge who was married in Glasgow in 1930. He is listed as being 36 years old (b.c. 1894?), a widower and a "newspaper checker". His father is given as Ernest Lodge, a hotel proprietor, and Annie Lodge, now Thompson, m.s. Collor (Spanish I'm told).

Frederick Albert Lodge is not a common name combination in Scotland in my experience within the records and in real life and I can find no prior mention of him or his parents in the Scottish records so I assume he may well have been English.

Long shot I know but does anyone out there recognise this chap, or indeed can suggest a source I can search.

Many thanks  :)

There's this chap

Frederick Albert Lodge
Baptism    21 Jun 1893    St John the Divine, Kennington, Lambeth,
Father    Ernest Lodge, labourer
Mother    Nellie Lodge
address Elfin Road

He looks to be the right chap, despite the difference in detail, given his mother's surname in 1911
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XWG6-JB4

This is 1901
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X9CL-NWJ

I've  found Ernest and Nellie in 1891 (her Preece children are using the lodge surname) = he's no hotel proprietor. He's a carman

Wow, Mabel.

This is a fantastic help, and so promptly delivered. I am researching this man as he appears on my wife's friend's tree that I am researching but I could find no earlier trace of him in Scotland prior to his marriage entry for 1930.
It's definitely the same man IMO, despite the minor inconsistencies.

Thank you once again.
Best regards

Above are the links to two free resources :

The GRO registrations index is free to search, Births and Death,  but you need to register first. With the Births, the MMS is recorded (unless it's an illegitimate birth where the child's surname is taken to be the MMS)

FreeBMD is a free resource. The MMS was not added to the source indexes until (from) Sep 1911

Hi Ambly and Softly Softly (& Mabel)

I'd like to thank you all for the above information and links. I am presently trying to compile a family tree for a very good friend of my wife, and this line was proving troublesome as, as I suspected, the line originated south of the border, and outwith my experience.
The info that comes bang up to date is startiung to take in recent generations for which I already had some info so I know we are on the right line for certain.
I will check out all the links provided and collate everything into the tree I already have over the next few weeks as time allows.
Once again, thank you all very much.
Best regards  ;D

I think she is probably Ellen in 1881, living in Islington with her sister Mary Ann ELTON, and brother-in-law Joseph.

It looks like her parents are from Essex, so a bit further north.  ;D

Following Nellie through 1911/21 census and London Electoral register's from 1921-1939 she lives at 86 Mabley Street, Hackney. Her dob is recorded as 25th March 1859 which ties in nicely with the Ellen birth as posted. She is not at this address in 1946. Believe she died aged 83 in 1942 Essex S W.

Thank you for this information.

Indeed thank you all for your incredible help. The info is coming in faster than I can presently process it. There's much to take it when I get the chance over the festive period.

All I know (prior to all the subsequent info I have been provided with on here) is he was a widower when he married in Glasgow in 1930 aged 36, and working as a newspaper checker.
No sign of a death in the Scottish records under the name F.A.L.
He did list his father as Ernest Lodge, a hotel proprietor, on his wedding certificate, but someone found elsewhere that his dad was a carman in London.
Maybe he was - in Glasgow parlance - a "chancer" and tried to make himself seem grander to his 18 year old bride than he actually was.
Who knows, maybe some time after this marriage he reinvented himself under another name? (as my 2x great grandfather did to conceal 2 bigamous marriages)
