London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Re: William Allison 1802
« on: Monday 03 December 12 01:01 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Annette7

Thanks for your reply and input - much appreciated  :)

I will go about ordering John's birth certificate and see what that shows.

Quick question: Is the best place to order those certificates directly through the Ancestry website or should I be going to another site to order?

Regards

London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / William Allison 1802
« on: Sunday 02 December 12 09:39 GMT (UK)  »
Hi all

Was wondering if anyone could help me with tracking down any further details about a William Allison from Middlesex (Southgate).  William is my great, great, great grandfather.

According to the 1851 census, he is listed as being born in Southgate, Middlesex, 49 years of age, a pump maker who has a deafness disability. He was married to a Mary who lists herself as being born in Ampthill, Bedfordshire (dates on Ancestry vary between 1808 and 1812) They have  children - William, James, Ann and John (born Finchley 1846 - my great, great grandfather).
 
In the 1861 census, Mary is listed as widowed and 53 years of age.
In the 1841 Census, William and Mary are listed as 35 and 30 years old respectively with the following children: Susan 10, William 8, James 5 and Ann 1.

I am looking for any further info on William - parents name, Mary's maiden name etc - anything!!!! It is possible that Williams father was Joseph and mother Mary Nelson (a baptism certificate from Southgate area which I saw on Ancestry). Mary could have been Mary Lyne. There are also conflicting dates on Ancestry for Williams date of birth - 1801, 1806 and 1802 but 1802 looks more likely.

If anyone could help me with this, I would greatly appreciate it :) I have an Ancestry UK Heritage Plus membership but am having no luck going any further back than William but I am fairly new to this so I may have missed something along the line.

Thanks for reading  :)

Hi all  :)

Thanks yet again for all the info  :)

I suspect that Mary Jane and Jessie were one and the same person (at least until any other evidence points otherwise  ;D  )

It is certainly turning out to be an interesting and fascinating journey. Genealogy is pretty addictive!!

Hi KGarrad.

Thanks again for your help  :) Just found John in the 1861 census at the same address (Prospect cottages) as a 15 year old working as a butcher. His mother is listed as Mary and widowed. John also had a brother who was 24 in 1861 and working as a gardener. It appears James later marries a Sarah.

Busy trying to puzzle through the Mary Jane/Jessie name issue with regards to John's wife.

Thanks again for your help and input.

Hi KGarrad

Going to see if I can order my grandfathers birth certificate online.

Thanks for the other resources - it does look like the family in question in Wood Green are the correct ones.

What I find interesting is that in the 1901 census, Jessie is listed as 50 years old whilst in the 1891 she is 44 so should be 54 in 1901. Could this be an error when the document was transcribed or maybe she was taking a few years off her age  ;D
She also goes by the name Mary J in 1891 so perhaps she was Mary Jessie who later just went by Jessie. I am also curious as to what happened to Ellen who was 1 year of age in 1891 as she is not on the 1901 census. The older kids from 1891 (Elizabeth, Henry, Phoebe, and Fred had presumably left home by this point.

Thanks again for your help - much appreciated  :)

London and Middlesex / Allison family from London, Edmonton, Middlesex, Barnet, Oxfordshire

Hi all

Really new to this and was hoping someone with more experience an resources than I currently have could help me with any info they may have on the Allison family.

My grandfather was Edwin John Allison - born in 1911 and registered in Edmonton and Barnet.  In March 1937 he married Minnie Florence Matilda Amor (1910 - 1960). The marriage was registered in Edmonton.

He moved the family which included Minnie, my father and his sister to Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) and then to South Africa. He moved back to the UK after Minnie had passed. He later remarried a lady whose first name was Doris. Edwin John Allison passed away in 1981 (Epping Forest).

It appears that Edwin's mothers maiden name was Holmes (possibly Annie Elizabeth Holmes). His father may have also been named Edwin Allison.

Edwin had the following siblings (dates are based on FreeBMD):

Florence M Allison: Born 1925?
Rose GJ Allison Born: March 1921 ?
Elsie Allison: Born 1913 - 1990 ?
Mary Annie Allison: Born 1909
Possibly a Nancy/Nance Allison (No records found but my dad and aunt remember an Aunty Nance).

If anyone can help with this, I would appreciate it  :)

Regards

Hi

I just did a search on Eddles. I was born in South Africa but have lived in London for most of the last 18 years. My mother's maiden name was Shirley Eddles and she talked of the British Eddles family owning bakeries.

Hi there - My mothers maiden name was Glenda Eddles from Bloem! Your mom and mine are cousins I believe :)

Hi All!

Sorry to revive what appears to be an old thread but I stumbled upon this site while doing research into the Eddles surname.

My mother is an Eddles from Bloefontein. Her father was Sydney James Eddles (1912 - 1991) and her grandfather was Edward Stabb Eddles.

I have a copy of Edward Stabb Eddles death certificate and it states that his father was Richard Eddles and his mother Caroline Lee. I believe that Richards parents were William and Rhoda. Am I correct? Has anyone managed to go further back at all? Would love to get as much info as possible :)

 Thanks for taking the time to read this :)
