   USHER, EDITH       - 
GRO Reference: 1903  S Quarter in ST MARYLEBONE  Volume 01A  Page 530

Edit: 1901 has a son Joseph Thomas, which I'm assuming to be William Joseph, the census officer just got mixed up.

Thank you to all of you!!

I did go look at more of Fulham's Ushers, and there are a few more without a mmn listed on the GRO index, which makes me believe they are Illegitimate + I couldn't find a census for them.

Edit: putting them here for now, i'll do more research on them soon.

   USHER, WILLIAM  JOSEPH     - 
GRO Reference: 1898  S Quarter in FULHAM  Volume 01A  Page 212

   USHER, IVY  ELIZABETH     -

   USHER, GERTRUDE  BESSIE DRAKE    -

   USHER, IVY       -

^ does seem to have an 1911 census, living with completely unrelated people.

In 1939 with the Ushers is

Charles   Minton   12 Dec 1910   Male   Automobile Electrical Engineer

There is a marriage in 1907
Elizabeth Usher to Joseph Thomas MINTON, a painter

But they seem to be together a lot before that.
In 1901 they are at 77 Chancellors road, same as the baptism, with a 5 month old Henry Minton

That other name seems familiar. I believe I saw a Henry or Joseph somewhere with the names Usher and Minton together, let me try to find it quickly.

He married 25 December 1924 (not 1926) St Peter's Battersea, he was 24 and Pastry Cook

Her father was Albert Town deceased, Lily was 22.

His father Joseph Thomas Usher was a Painter

I was told Lily and Harry first met as orphans in an orphanage (details were a little messy)so it seems Lily was the orphan. Her mother seems to be Selina, and both her parents die in 1911. I was also told Harry Victor was a baker.

Albert was a painters labourer from the 1911 census, so maybe painter was accidentally put in Joseph's occ.

Maybe this birth registration?

Births Dec 1900
USHER   Henry Victor       Fulham   1a   206

That's him, but the GRO index doesn't have that record, only FreeBMD. I have no idea if it was transcribed weirdly, or I'm doing something wrong.
The GRO index usually has the mother's maiden name too.

Trying to find information on his parents

Harry Victor Usher, b. October 05, 1900, Hammersmith, Middlesex to Joseph Thomas Usher and Elizabeth Fanny ?.

Unable to find a birth registration that contains mmn, and a census for him.

He marries Lily Town in 1926, and they immigrate to Canada during ww2.

Hoping to find an obituary for Frank Horvath.
https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/215632659/frantisek-horvath
Most likely born as Ferencz and not Frantisek. He is Hungarian.

And John Horvath.

It very well could be, but I wonder why I've never heard of it if his name was Alex.

Yes, I was given the memorials after I posted the picture. The birthdates and birthplaces weren't made by me instead by whoever was editing the memorials before. I kept them in-case they have some truth to them.
