London and Middlesex / Re: Harry Owens b 1850 Marylebone - help appreciated
« on: Friday 07 November 14 19:03 GMT (UK) »
Again a big thank you for all the help - especially Jennifer c and Rosie 17 
After you made your suggestions, I traced Benjamin's family as far as I could. I haven't found him in any censuses after his wedding in 1889 to Mary Ann Payne, but I have the complete set before that.
There is a fair chance that 'John Owen' aged 12 hours may have been named Henry Owen in the end, so this could really be them.
And I am missing Henry/Harry in 1861, when Benjamin was living with mum Mary in Back Alley, St Saviour Southwark.
I have found a Henry Owen in Stepney Workhouse in 1861, but the name is a bit too common to be sure. Limehouse is 3 miles from St Saviour where Benjamin and mum Mary were living, and I imagine parishes weren't that keen to take in other parishes poor. But Henry's place of birth is listed as unknown in the poor house census, so still possible. The parents of Benjamin were Welsh - are there any chapel records for St Saviour Southwark? Baptism records especially.
Thanks again for all the help
