Baptism - George COOPER c1881 Iver Heath

[wookietoo]

Nope, in 1901 they are still in Brum, dad is an inspector and young George is a book stall assistant

[Necromancer]

Did look good - but like all the other leads its got a problem  ..... Geo jnr was a Book Stall Asst in 1901 (his dad has done well, rising to Marshalling Inspector in the LNR tho - sort of super shunter).

Does anybody in your family remember a Brummy accent ?

If you have eliminated all the other Georges born 1904/5 in the Southwark / Walworth area and slightly broader, and thus you are left with the Warwick option .... then we need to know why George who married Sophia said he & his Dad were Railway types on the 1902 Marriage Cert ! (Not to mention occupation on the 1904 BCert - which deffo links in Sophia !)

My advice would be to wait until all the search features and subscription rates are available in the 1911 census

Otherwise, a Conan Doyle quote springs to mind .....

When you have eliminated the impossible, what ever is left - no matter how improbable - is the answer

No, there's nobody to ask now, only my mum who is 85 and would mistake a Brummie accent for a Geordie 

I've solved the peabody buildings mystery.
When my gf got married in 1926 he did so from Peabody Buildings Camberwell, and this is where Maisie visited mum from.....mum said Camden hahahaha

I've tried searching in 1901 but there are so many Peabody's spread throughout Camberwell, I can't figure out how to get to the right one......

My advice would be to wait until all the search features and subscription rates are available in the 1911 census 

As in, ancestry.com will get it you mean?
It's so frustrating when I've waited 2 years for the 1911 to be released!

FindMyPast say they will offer subscription rates 'later in 2009' .....

Ancestry wont get a chance to have it for some time .... FindMyPast / BrightSolid have a 6 months exclusivity after they have completed the launch .... so any other company would then have to negotiate purchase of the very recently expensive filmed records and then start the task of transcribing ....

Glad the Peabody address got resolved - can you not use the 1901 site to do an address search and compare with 1911 - sort of a 'control list' so you dont spend too much on 1911 ?

 


PS. You did see that I eventually found the older George from Iver - he was a Gardener in 1901, with a 2 year old son George - in Fulmer I think it was w/o loookng back up the thread ....

Thanks for all your help - I really appreciate it 

The 1901 site can be address searched, but then I can't get into it to find page references or anything.
Ancestry.com doesn't have an address search (or I can't find it) and the definitions of the huge number of Camberwell districts just give street names. All I have for address is 7K Peabody Buildings Camberwell SE

[Necromancer]

take the Parish, Ward and Ecclesiastical Parish info from the 1901 hit list, then in 1901 Ancestry get into the Camberwell (civil) Parish, and display the Enumeration Districts - these are listed in E. Parish Order .... trawl thru the Enumerators description pages looking for the street address etc.


Its a slog !

.... 

and I think you'll find that '1901 Peabody Bldgs' George is in Islington as a Silk Tie *, with two young sons in the 1911 - cant look at the transcription, sorry ...

Onward & upward .... I've been looking at the 1881 census for Georges in (South) London engaged in the Railway businees - theres a few, but mostly clerks, inspectors and engine drivers ....


see if you can find the George I found in 1901 - a Gen Lab, born Southall ...
