Is there anyone that would kindly be able to spare a look-up for a birth/baptism?

My 3 x gt grandfather James Hubbard was born circa 1794/1796 and according to census returns was born in Shoreditch, different census returns vary slightly as do the age!

James married a second time in 1849 at the age of 55 and this showed the name of his father which was Samuel Hubbard - Chairmaker.  For information the Hubbards seem to have lived around the George Street, Shoreditch area as this address has tended to crop up quite a bit on various BMD certificates additionally the occupation of Cabinet Maker/Carvers.

If anyone is able to spare some of their time it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Hi again
Its me again - may I be so bold if you are all still online and ask if there is any chance of finding my gang in the 1901?? - I have found my Herbert on the 1901 living away from home, but haven't managed to locate his parents or Ernie, Im guessing it should be Ernest - Im hoping that George is dead by 1911 or at least before August 1911 - oh sorry sounds horrid of me,  as if he is then this will be another plus point and another pointer towards him definitely being mine.  Herbert married in 1911 and put his father as being dec'd.

Hope Im not being to cheeky, but Im desparate to find more clues to see if Im on the right track and to try and prove that George and Alice are definitely my ancestors?? - Ive already barked up the wrong tree once!

Heres hoping.

Hi would SKS be able to check the 1891 census.  I've looked for quite a few days now and have been unable to locate them, it may well be that they have been transcribed incorrectly as I have tried various different way without any luck.

George Alfred Roe born circa 1854 Middlesex, possibly Stepney
Alice Ann S Roe (nee Wintjen) born circa 1854 Stepney
Herbert Roe born 1883 Horsham Sussex

In 1883 George Roe occupation was "Gentleman"

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Regards.

Hi Hepburn

Thank you for replying to my post - do you think then in this case that I could comfortably be looking at the same man? he was making sufficient money from his own means i.e "income derived from house" that in 1883 he stated he was a Gentleman.   

Hi troods

Thank you very much - I agree with you, that this could be my guy, even though the birth year differs??, I think I may have also found him in the 1891 census and if this is him he was living with parents called Herbert Frank Roe and Caroline.  Trouble is and going back to his marriage certificate it did state that his father was Herbert George and at the time he married in August 1911 his father was dec'd.  After a little further research I found a death registered in 1918 for a Herbert F Roe in Berkshire could be a coincidence, but now doubtful again that this is my guy?

Family story says that my Herbert came from a family of Gentry - could this be him, this Herbert Frank Roe seems to have a job of high importance!!

Finally, I do have a memorial card which states that my Herbert died 5th March 1952 at the age of 68 which here indicates a birth year of 1883/1884??

Thank you for your time.
