All census to 1901 Joseph BAPTIST

[osborn]

I have purchased the 1911 census copy which gives these details:

Joseph BAPTIST.  Head,32. M. Coachman (travellers) Bishopsgate St.
Emma BAPTIST,  Wife, 43, M, 10 yr., Tower Hill.
Fred BAPTIST, Son, 9, Pimlico.
Rooms two.  21/2 Block Sutton Street.

Also I have a copy of the marriage certificate:

28 Oct. 1906 - Joseph BAPTIST,30, bachelor, postal servant, 21/22 block sutton Street, Goswell Road. (Father) Joseph BAPTIST dec.  Law Printer.

Emma EVELEIGH, 34, spinster, 18/22 block sutton st. Goswell Road, (Father John EVERLEIGH, Pensioner.

Witnesses - Charles WALKER and Elizabeth BAPTIST.

There are discrepencies in the ages, but maybe trans. errors??

Any census details would be appreciated.               Osborn???

Elizabeth   Wife   age 42      Bloomsbury

...as suspected, that family shows up in 1891 and 1901 and it's not the right lot of BAPTISTS.  In 1901 the son John has moved to Newcastle and is a Painter.  Happy to post transcriptions if you want them.

That would be lovely of you.  I am finding this a difficult family to trace!!!

Hi Osborn,

So which Baptist family did you want to trace?  The fellow you originally mentioned (the postal service driver) is obviously not the same as the one I've found who was a painter - I don't mind getting the census info for you for the painter, but if he's not yours I would be sending you down the wrong track!

If the postal worker is your man, we would be better off trying to find him in the census.

A possibility in 1871:

RG10/311
3 Banks Court, Finsbury
Joseph Baptist, 23, printer painter
Ellen Baptist, 21, book binder

No places of birth given for either.

Might fit with:

Marriage    Dec 1869   Lambeth
Joseph Baptist
Elizabeth Fowler (one of two possible brides).

Death  Mar 1901   London C
Joseph Baptiste  aged 54
