Hey thanks you guys!!  Yes, Tressler thats them in 1901 in Lambeth because all are suppose to be born in St. Giles and Florence Ethel Clark is most likely her sister whom is a witness.  Darren your correct too, its the same information I found that Martha L. Clark married to Victor W.F. Speller in 1912 Lambeth.  I'm not sure where, St. Olaves is tho?  I'll just mail you! 

I haven't crossed referenced at this time, as am only looking at the original birth certificate, I do have the index here somewhere in my papers, but most likely the same. 

Its actually the Greater London Record Office which holds the surviving parish registers.......since I've put it off this long, time to contact them directly.  Just thougt I could cut some corners.............Thank you kindly, Adeline

Hello Andy, 

Thanks for resurrecting this old site as I haven't been to this site for quite sometime now.................Ellen Duvall's parents were William Duvall and Ann Thorpe!  Ellen Duvall was born in 1861 Tonbridge and died in 1904 in Portsmouth.  She is my great grand mother in-law.  My mother in-law has long since gone, she has always wanted to know about her family, but I never found the answers for her while she was alive.  What a remarkable website of people on this site, it is unbelievable.     Thank you Down Under, your absolutely fabulous and it looks like you do have the same family!  It definately looks like a match to me from the 1881 census, despite the differences from the years being out, as it is quite common in census records to find such differences.  From what I see Andy, your George Duvall possibly married Agnes Budd, then?  Just guessing!  You have William passed away in 1893, I have information from the index that he passed away in 1894 in Kent.   

Andy I sent you my personal email address to your mail box, contact me............. looks like we have some catching up to do. 

Down Under.............your an angel. 

If someone has access to the 1891 Census, Portsea Island, Hampshire, District of St James, Milton, Folio 77, Page 21.  Lists Ellen Wood and family.

And the 1901 Census, Parish of Milton St. James, in Portsmouth, Hampshire, England, Folio 10, Page 13.  Lists Robert Kemp and Ellen Wood.

Would it be possible for someone to give me the details.

Adeline

Greetings Little Nell,

Yes you had suspected right.    I am looking at the BMD, and I checked again, but I am only recieving one hit to a Harriett Mary Bailey in the April May June Quarter and both are listed on the same page.  Since you are getting four hits, is there a Harriett Weaver? 

Thomas married a Harriet, but I thought her surname would of been Weaver.  The oral family story has it, Thomas once lived in Hampshire, but by 1902 Thomas MacAllister moved to Lambeth, London and started up his own dry cleaning/laundry buisness.  Later in the 1920's, living with this household was an elderly woman whom they always called, Granny Weaver.  So I always assumed she was Harriett's mother.

In the 1891 census for Hampshire there is another Thomas McAlister b.c. 1867 Ireland, is he living with a Robert Kemp?  This would be eight years of age difference for Thomas by the 1901 census, but sometimes ages are mistakes in census records.

Many thanks for your advice, its greatly appreciated at my end.
