Essex Lookup Requests / George Thomas Parker/Annie Hurry
« on: Wednesday 05 August 15 20:11 BST (UK)  »
I am once again trying to find the marriage of George Thomas Parker and Annie Hurry my grandparents.   I put this to bed a few years ago, but due to the interest of my 8 year old granddaughter, I am having another go and trying to find this information.   George Thomas was born in 1878 at 5 Balaam Street, Plaistow, London and Annie was born in 1889 at 4 Grove Cottages, Ilford, Essex.   Without this information I cannot trace George's parents.   The only information I have on his family is that at his death in 1921 his sister Lucy who registered his death,  her married name was Street and she lived in Lee, Kent.

If anyone out there can point me in a new direction I will be truly grateful and please one little girl, and hopefully encourage her interest.

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to access birth records later than 2006 - it seem that on Ancestry they done go beyond this?

Many thanks

Evening all,

First, sorry for the delay in replying - I did, I thought reply, but it would seem that I must have pressed the wrong button - well thats my excuse and I am sticking to it.

I have the marriage certificate for Paul and Emily and under the heading 'name and surname' it says 'Powell Wheeler' but he has signed at the bottom of the certificate 'Paul Winkler'.   His father was Powell Wheeler, whose profession was stated as Independent.   I have assumed from this information and that of the census is where the genealogy company came to their conclusion.

I also agree, that it would seem very unlikely that he would have changed his occupation from clockmaker to cigar maker.

Once again thank you all for your help.

Thanks all for your help - I am checking all the information to see if I can trace Paul.

Justin,

The company that produced the report in 1988 were in Canterbury, and Mannhiem was scribbled on the 1881 Census.   At that time he was working as a Railway Porter, later he was apparently a Cigar Maker.

If you have any more information I would be most grateful.

Once again thanks all

Evening Justin,

Thanks for your reply, we have a report produced by a Geneology research company, a copy of which was given to us by a cousin of my husband.   In this report it states that the surname is not uncommon and can be "fairly comfortably localised for the Baltic ports.   While I was looking through the census records I found Mannhiem scribbled on it.

That is all the information we have been able to find.

I am trying to trace my husband great grandfather (Paul Wheeler), born about 1827 in Germany and we think it could have been Manheim.   At that time his name was Powell/Pawle Winkler, when he married his name had become Paul Wheeler.   Does anyone know how we can find German births?

Thanks
