Great site thanks.   I have bookmarked it for future browsing when I have a bit more time.

I have a Henry Dallaway 1832 Croydon in my tree.  He married Jane Strudwick (1832 Mitcham) in 1856 who was the mother of Elizabeth Strudwick (1854).  I have assumed Jane was previously married but Elizabeth names Henry as her father on her marriage certificate so maybe he was the father not step father.  Elizabeth Strudwick  is my great great grandmother.

Henry and Jane had 4 other children that I know of all surname Dallaway (according to census) - Henry 1857, Rich 1860, Adelaide 1865 and 'Jno' 1869 all born Croydon.

Hi,

Forgive me for possibly hijackling this thread. I've been reading this Gardener/Gardiner thread because it showed up on a search for Simmons Cottages, Mitcham, Surrey.

My interest is because you have been discussing families in Mitcham and also because 'Chelin2's" signature mentions "Dixon".

I have found that my Gt Grandmother was called Rose Dixon. According to the 1901 census she lived a 4 Simmons Cottages. I also have a marriage cert from June 1901 when she married an Alfred Jones. On this certificate Rose's father is Robert Dixon.

I have been unable to find any other mention of her or any relatives so thought I'd take a chance and see if "Chelin2's" Dixon is the same as "my" Dixon! They are proving quite elusive to me!

Many Thanks,
Martin

No sorry the name Dixon is another thread on my tree and is nothing to do with the Travellers.  My Dixons came from Camberwell

Hi
I know this is an old thread, but I hope i can continue it.
Its a longshot I am seeking info that you may be able to help me with.
Louisa who was married to George Gardner is my Great Grandfathers George Hunt's sister Louisa Hunt b c 1865.They married in 1889 in Croydon
Their parents were William Hunt b c 1835 (debateable year of birth ) and Eliza Smith b 1843 Witney Oxford shire.
 
The children I have found so far for Louisa and George Gardner  are
George William b 1889 in Mitcham
Noah b 1895 in Croydon
Catherine Louisa b 1891 in Croydon
Florence .
Eliza Smiths parents are meant to be William Smith b Hailey c 1791and a Mary.b Witney Oxfordshire. Still investigating.
I have hit a brick wall with my great grandmother George Hunts  wife Mary ann (Aka POlly or Pol ) Reed. On marriage cert father was an Aaron Reed.
Poll should have been born in 1885/6 but cannot find a birth records for her. As I dont know her mothers name I cant even trace her with a maiden name.
she married in george 1905 in Deptford.
She may have been Irish.
She suffered from epilepsy and had a fit as a teenager and fell into a fire, burning the left hand side of her face.
She was also known to be a notorious fighter especially when she had a drink.
Take on any man.
The family eventually settled down in Brockley near Lewisham kent, but had also lived in Peckham Kent.
Poll HUnt died in 1947.
Have you heard any stories about Poll Hunt or know of any history/
Regards Carol

Several years later .....   

Have just found Mary Ann Reed on Ancestry.  Her mother was Annie Brooks c 1866.

Interestingly enough there is a story that there is Irish ancestry in our family tree somewhere.  I haven't found it yet though!

Hi
What a lovely surprise after all this time, but I can now update you even further.
Yes Mary Ann Reed aka as Polly was born to Annie Brooks and father was an Aaron Reed/Read.
Mary Ann was born 21 april 1887 and she lived at 68 Mill Lane Deptford. Father was a hawker.
Her birth record was registered as Read.
They also lived in Baildon Street.
Aaron Reed was also known as BAKER. he was born in Hothfield Kent. Aaron took the official  name of Reed from his mother Eleanor Ann as she had him out of wedlock.
Father was Aaron Baker b abt 1840 place unknown at the moment.
Since this thread emerged several years ago, I found the Hunt family also married into the Nottinghill/dale Taylors.
George my great grandfather had a brother called Albert Hunt b 1871 Bushey Herts.
He "married" Isabella Taylor also known as Bella Smith daughter of Athaliah Taylor and Sam Smith.
Other members of this family carried the name of Taylor and COOPER . Daniel Cooper who married Mary Jane Mills in Croydon (Daughtor of Eli Mills).
Athaliah was "married" to Joshua Cooper and had several children.  He died young and she went on to have liasons with Sam Smith, son of Perron Smith I beleive.
Athaliah and her family ended up in Osborn Road Acton and she died there. in 1902

Father was Aaron Baker b abt 1840 place unknown at the moment.

Aaron BAKER appears on the 1851 census for Sellindge, Kent as bc1844 Harrietsham, Kent (parents Benjamin and Hannah).  Sorry I don't have the full details in my notes perhaps somebody else can post if you can't access the census.
