Hello, Dave,

A bit of a long shot, but have you considered the possibility that James ( wife Emily) could be related to Joseph ( wife Sarah) ?  This could account for a Samuel Appleton living with James & Emily as as boarder, not a relative ie., brother in law.  You know Joseph's wife Sarah's maiden name was Appleton, so is Samuel related to her in some way.

Sarah E.Appleton was a servant in the 1881 census St Paul, Deptford born 1868, Holloway.
In the 1871 census she is with her parents..

1871 census
RG10/305  folio 86  page 10
2, Hercules Pl, Upper Holloway, Islington

Moses Appleton  age 28  Carman   b  Essex, Colchester
Mary Ann  wife  age 26     b  BEDS  looks like Cedpham ?
Thomas   son  age 4    b  Islington

Sorry,, Dave , hit the wrong button, sent it off unfinished so here is the rest of it.


Interesting that Sarah E's mother was born in Beds, coincidence or connection with Samuel. ?

There was a James Bowden born 16th Nov 1869, bapt 3rd Dec 1869 St Pancras Old Church, only mother shown, Caroline, no father  & marriage for him>

James Bowden = Emily Hearn
Sept. ¼ 1889  Paddington  1a  138

All something for you to think over, I have probabaly confused the issue more than helping.

Thanks. I think you may have something there with the ides of james being a brother of Joesph (but WHY can't I find his family???). I'll have a rummage around the web and see if I can find anything.

Much appreciated
Dave
