Great news about Mary Ann! You are posting faster than I can reply. Your information about Mary Ann arrived while I was still writing a reply about a possible George WHITTLE birth. 

This is what I was about to post re the George WHITTLE birth:

Yup, I saw that one online and wondered about it. S.E. London is my family territory - never heard of anyone from my husband's family down that way! 

I'll have to see which of these he wants to start off by ordering. I think the only way is to work our way through the options. Up till now I have been the family history buff, and he is very busy at the moment. But there is no point me ordering things and getting carried away. I always find I have to think through it all quite slowly so I can get a feel for what is going on, and I think it will be the same for him - especially with all these Georges! 

Thank you very much.

Best wishes,

Edwina

Hi edwina

So glad I can be of help 

I have been looking for Emma Alloway's birth reg ...there is this one that keeps popping up ...right place and date but no surname   ;

Emma
June q 1842 
Uxbridge  Middlesex 
3  323


there is no original to look at. Tried the complete index but no luck on Allaway/Alleway or Alloway 

I wonder if Emma pretended to be married to George when she had Mary Ann, Eliza and George as it is only Hannah who was registered as a Whittle.

Good morning Deb! (my time here  )

I have just been looking at freeBMD and the scan for this index reference looks rather like 'Chissnell' (could be Chiswell), though it is not completely clear. It is in among the CHISNALLs and CHISWELLs, anyway. I don't think we've found any Jane CHISSNELLs, who could be her unmarried mother, have we? So perhaps it is not her. It did sound good at first. 

I think you are probably right about Emma and George not being married till after the kids started to arrive. I think people often called the children by the surname of the head of household anyway. My mother's brother was really her mother's son from a first marriage, but he used my grandfather's surname, because he was only little when my grandma re-married. His own children and his sons' children have all used my grandfather's surname. Now I do family history, it makes me wonder what kind of brick walls they will come up against if they ever start on their own family history 

Ah well, thanks for all that. Time for work. Bye for now.

I'm wondering if my partner could be related to these Whittles. His grandfather was also called George Whittle born in Surrey born around 1900.

Hello MissChampers 

As you can see, some of the links among these members of the WHITTLE family are still a bit unclear, but it would be good to collect some more details to see if they link together. Do you know any more about your partner's grandfather, such as where he was born?  Did he also have a fairground connection?

I hope we can help one another

Well     I now have that birth certificate, and it is not for any son of Emma ALLOWAY and George WHITTLE, unfortunately. 

It is for a George Albert, son of James ALLAWAY, fishmonger, and his wife, Ann ALLAWAY, formerly AMBROSE. I can see from freeBMD that this couple were married in Kensington Registration District in 1854.

So, if any descendants of James and Ann happen to read this, please send me a PM and you are welcome to have the certificate  , as I do not think we shall be needing it.

Best wishes,
