Had a closer look at Sarah Kezia Mason and found a marriage for her in Southwark in 1876, so we can rule her out now.

Nice try Annie !

Hi again folks - here are some answers to your questions from Jan and  some other information which may be of use:

Caroline Mary Hunter is her great grandmother - she married Henry Fowle.  Jan's aunt remembered that Caroline's mother was called Keziah and that they lived in Jonathan Street in Lambeth.

In 1901, William and Keziah Hunter are living at 28 Jonathan Street with their now married daughter and her husband Caroline and Henry Fowle.  Jan's grandfather Albert is one year old.  She doesn't have Caroline's birth certificate.

On their marriage certificate, William and Keziah are supposed to be of full age, but this doesn't match the census information for Keziah so she probably lied about her age.  She was probably born in either 1856 or 57.

We have never found Keziah prior to the 1881 census.  We've checked the IGI and trawled 1837online for Keziah's birth but haven't checked the BIVRI.

On Caroline's marriage certificate she gives her father's name as William Bryant Hunter.

William and Keziah's other children with approx dates were:

Marion (Mary) 76
Henry Thomas 80 (d82)
Ernest 83
Florence 86
Arnold 87
Bessie 90 (d94)
Katherine 96
Frederick 98

Thanks for the welcome Pam and hi to everyone else too.

Don't know of any Matildas by the way, but before today all we had was Kezia's father's name and occupation.  We didn't know of any siblings at all.

Shanko - the witnesses on Keziah's marriage cert were William Mason (we assumed her father) and Charlotte Potter.  If you know of a brother William, I guess this could be him.  Potter isn't Charlotte Mason's married name is it ?

Back to work now, but we'll catch up with you later !

Rick.

Hi folks,

I'm Jan's other half.  Just phoned her to let her know of the developments as she's at work - she'd be very interested in swapping info with you Shanko.  How did you know about Keziah ?  We didn't know about Charlotte.

Rick.
