Hi Patrish
Thank you for your reply.
I think I will follow your suggestion and order a death certificate for Charles Gray to see what information that produces and I will be putting my reasearch on hold for the moment due to other commitments.
Thanks again for the trouble you have taken.

Please could anyone help me with some information on my great great grandfather Charles Gray born about 1814 Christchurch Surrey.
The only record I can find for him and his family is the 1851 Census when they were living at 27 Eltham Street, St.Mary, Newington in Lambeth when he was shown as working as a plate glass factor.
I cannot find his birth, marriage or death records. After 1851 all the family ie. Charles, his wife Emily and children David, Emma and Henry all seem to have disappeared except for David, born about 1848, who had moved to Forest Hill without the rest of the famiy. I have also traced David on Censuses for 1861 to 1891
Many thanks.

I am looking for some information/pictures of St James Church, Holloway. My parents were married there in 1927, and my mother received the vicars prize for attendance in the early 1900's. I believe that the church suffered bomb damage and has not been rebuilt. The family home was in Eden Grove, and I believe that the church was somewhere close by. Have looked everywhere but can find no information. Any help/ideas please would be greatly appreciated.  conqueror_2 

Hello again,

Sorry for the delay in replying, I obtained the birth certificate as suggested but this did not show Stephen as his father, but a William and Harriet as his parents. I think I will call a halt to this enquiry now, and try some other route. Very many thanks to all for your assistance..

Hello all, and apologies for not replying sooner. Anyway to answer the points raised:

Paco,  yes I had thought of getting the birth certificate of William Webber born Lambeth, but obviously wasn't sure if this would be the right one in view of the various birth places mentioned on the various censuses. if necessary I will have to.
Ladyhawk: There is no evidence on the marriage certificate to say that Stephen was deceased. Just out of interest neither of the witnesses to the wedding were were named either Webber or Baker, but Henry Head and Eliza Bowie?. I suppose she could have been a married sister! Would there be any more information on Wedding Banns?
Also there is no address on the marriage certificate.
Annette: You have come across the same problem as me. Lambeth, Romsey, Blandford etc
Ladyhawk: I have been through all the censuses that you have listed, and agree with your thoughts. Is it possible do you think that Stephen could have been a brother and not his father. ?

I think that I will get the certificate as suggested, in the meantime I will endeavour to trace other siblings and children. Very many thanks for your time and energies all of you. I hope to be back shortly. Chris
