The Common Room / Re: Can anyone trace Adelaide?

Hi
Thank you for the information however this does not explain a link between William Springett and Adelaide Springett.
Did he have a sister called Adelaide that you are aware of?

Hello, I think I'm the one you're looking for.  William John Springett was my Grandfather.

He married my Grandmother Elizabeth Jane Holley on the 13th August 1921.  He was a Flour Miller, living at 46 Croydon Rd, Plaistow.  His father, also named William John Springett, is noted as a Costermonger.

They had a daughter Elizabeth Lily (my mother), on the 9th September 1925.  Her birth certificate was square rather than the usual rectangular type that we know today. He is a General Labourer at this point.

William, a labourer at a flour mills, aged 38, died of a heart attack on the 23rd August 1926, still at Croydon Rd.

I have a photo of my Grandmother at my mothers wedding, 11th December 1943.  She is with her second husband William John Cooke, who died 1950.  Lizzie died aged 64 in 1955.

A lady from a Spitalfields group contacted my nephew last November and I passed him some of the above information, including what my mother told me some years ago about her family coming from Marylebone.

Does anyone have any details of his Army service?  My mother told me he served in India and had contracted something during his service that may have led to his death.

Hi
I note below the reference to William J Springett who I believe is my great grandfather. He died a few months after Elizabeth Springett (my grand mother was born).
I believe he had siblings but I'm not sure who they are.
Does anyone have information on this?

Morning all,
I stumbled across this post whilst trying once again to locate Adelaide.
Agree that she is probably the Adelaide Hurling on the Bona list but like all of you I cannot find a marriage for her and her Husband who i think is Frank Hurling.
I wonder if Frank was previously married? Despite trying different permutations I cannot find
any marriage record on either BMD, Ancestry or Genes.
I wonder if their relationship was not formalised as he was legally bound to another?
There is an Adelaide and Frank in the electoral rolls from 1939-1951.
I think he may have died in Chelsea in 1952 as there is an Adelaide is living in the late 50's-60's  in Chelsea.
There is still a question mark over the life and outcome of her Brother William John Springett who is  in the forces, he enlisted in Spitalfields in 1907 and gives his address as a boarding house.
There is a marriage for a William J Springett who married who marries in 1921, it looks as if this Wm died in 1926...

Another possibility is a death of a William J Springett in 1954 which is the same place I think his Father died.
Perhaps between us all we can try to solve a few of the outstanding questions we have in the search of Adelaide...
Where is she in the census of 1911? (I have traced her Great Aunts and Uncles and she does not appear to be with them)
Where is Adealide pre the 1939 electoral roll?
If Frank was married, who was his Wife? (There are a few possibilities)
Is Frank British or did he come over during the war?
What happened to her Brother?

Anyone got any other avenues we need to pursue?

Kind regards
Helen
