Help? Disappearance?

[JenClark]

Did find this tho:

1901 - 10 Sears Street, Camberwell, London (RG13; Piece: 494; Folio: 90; Page: 54)

Charles Jones Head Wid 67yrs Painter? b. Derbyshire
Charles Griffin Visitor S 21yrs Cartman? b. Lambeth, London

It is hard to make out the occupations, but may be a possibility 

Also it was in the index as Griffen

Ooh that's interesting! Will go to have a look now.

I've just found that too - think he was a carman..

[JenClark]

Looked in 1891 for Charles Jones, and he is with wife and family as a house decorator, no visitors or names of interest though!

[scottcharles]

Very interesting, he's in the right area, born in the right place, in around the right year.

Could well be him.

Does anyone know about being a carman at that time? Just he's a boot finisher in 1903 and I can't see an immediate correlation between the two careers, so was it a transient occupation?

Again, THANK YOU everyone, you're the best!

Found this reference:

Carman/Charman/Carrier/
Carter/Cartman
Driver of (horse-drawn) vehicles for transporting goods. Carmen were often employed by railway companies for local deliveries and collections of goods and parcels. Modern day van driver. Also sometimes someone who drove horse-drawn trams was called a Carman.

So maybe transient

My partner says...
her great grand-father was William Parker De Morley Mynn, her grandfather was Charles William De Mynn, born in Nottingham. She understood that he had left his wife and had a son in later in Nottingham, without first getting divorced.
She will try to find out further details from her mother (who may post on here, once she sees the link).
