London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Re: Lost Gr Grandfather
« on: Tuesday 31 January 12 22:54 GMT (UK) »
Florence Eames was the sister of Frederick - her maiden name was Carroll. I guessed the baby was named for her which would mean he was still around in 1893?? The guy in the asylum could be him but he was born in St Pancras in 1864. My grandfather ended up in Wales and no one seems to know why. Also, none of them appear on the 1911 census. James may have been away in the army and there is a great likelihood that this was so but i can't find his mother Catherine either. That's why i wonder if Frederick changed his name.

Yes, that's right. My grandfather James was placed in the Shaftesbury homes on the Arethusa later. His paperwork confirms he was abandoned by his father 13 years earlier. I suppose it's possible that Catherine had this child, Florence by another man but I still can't find Alfred....... It's my only lead

My gr grandfather Frederick Alfred Carroll disappeared when my grandad was born in 1889 and was never seen again. I cannot find him on any of the census after that date. However, it's come to light that there was another child born in 1892 and died in 1893 in Pancras workhouse and he is listed as the father and Catherine Carroll nee Douglass as her mother. I appreciate that this may not be so but it is my only lead. The certificates give his address as 7 spencer road, Pancras and i have tried to search the electoral lists for london 1892 and 1893 but i can't just search the address. I'm hoping he's there with a different name. Can anyone help me please?

Her name was Catherine Carroll nee Douglass. She has been known to use Douglass at times!! She was born in 1861 in Kentish Town, London.

I did try, honestly, but couldn't find her either. I thought maybe I wasn't doing it correctly. Thank you very much

Thank you very much for doing that. It's really good of you. Sorry to be a pest - but - would they not have the full name or was it illegible? My grandfather was a drummer in the army. I guess I'll never get to the bottom of it. It just seems strange they both he and his mother disappear in 1911.

He has a really early number and i've been told that his record was destroyed in the blitz. He re joined in 1914 and went to war. From there, I have all the info. I just wondered whether it was possible to find him on the 1911 census if he's in the army?
