Nedster,

There were two girls born to Emily and James. Louise you have details of was born 8/1/1902 and a second born Q4 of the same year. Her name was Emily Margaret Parr. There is a record of her death in Q1 1906 aged 3. Poplar 1C 327 is the reference on FreeBMD. Not sure if you know Poplar but it had one of the highest infant mortality rates in the country for many years.

Emily went on to have five children to Charles Wade. Two boys, Charles and William and three girls Doris, Lilian and Ada, my grandmother. I knew them all when I was growing up except Lilian.

Charles Wade was a seaman on HMS Philomel and I believe he died of injuries during a conflict with Turkish troops during a landing operation of (probably) ANZAC troops during the Gallipoli campaign.

Emily never married again although she had another son to a Joseph Scourfield in 1920. The reason I heard that she never married Scourfield was that she was afraid of losing her Widows War Pension. Scourfield has been described as "a bit fly" (this from a police officer retired) and he tried to do Emily out of her pension. One of her sons gave him such a hiding when he found out that he, the son, run off to join the British Army in India for fear that he may have gone a bit too far! Such was the Wades form of justice. My Nan being one of the worst!

It does seem strange you can find no record of his death. I only joined this site yesterday hoping to find anything of my Rollinson family in Ratcliff but not a mention here. I found some of them in the 1841 census in a house with 22 people of varying families but they disappeared for the next two census.

Good luck with your search.

George

Hello again George,

Firstly I can't thank you enough for your last message, I can't tell you how excited I got reading it.

So if my research is correct my grandmother had a half sister called Ada who married a man called Johnny, I believe they had two children Audrey and Patrick.
Audrey married George who in turn had three children? Pauline, Janice and Patricia.

I really hope I have my facts correct, as when my parents got married iat the Oval, Ada & Johnny attended and I have a photograph of them.

As a child we used to visit Ada at her house in Poplar, I can still visualise it now, I think it backed onto some sought of park, square

I do have the name Schofield jotted as told by my mother who s still alive, she recalls a company called Johnson and Matthey gold dealers who she thinks a Schofield worked for.

I do hope you make sense of my ramblings, if you wish to contact me by email it is (*)

Regards

David

Hi,

Mary Siversides was the sister of my gg grandmother so i knew she exsisted, when i searched on ancestory for any records relating to her, i came across her marriage certificate to James Cassence, and the baptism records for the two children, then i hit the brick wall as no census records seem to exsist after the wedding, or any records for James before he got married.

Am happy to scan the certicate to you as i think it would make sense as to what i am trying to explain about the wording on the  certificate.

Once again many thanks for your time and effort.

David

Hi,


Many thanks to Louisa & Jennifer, for the time you both spent in looking for the Cassence surname, that gives me a few more avenues to explore.

David

I hope someone can assist in this problem.

I have found that Mary Ann Silversides married a James Cassence in Jul 12 1858, Bethnal Green.

The name has been transcribed as cassence, but i cant seen to go back through the census or even forward by searching the name, they did have two children James Henry born 1858 and George 1862, which have also benn transcribed as cassence.

Has any body came across the name before, or any ideas what it could be?

Thank You

Hi,

I am looking for Rose Bailey who died in St Giles Hospital London, she was the mother of my cousins husband, sadly he knows nothing about her but would like to find out about her, she died when he was 3 years old. Her death would have been around 1951/1952, sorry this is a rather vague request, but if anyone could help give details of her in order to get the death certificate, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You
