GILHAM Malling, Kent

[chelleandtoe]

Looking for help on the following please.

I have already searched 1891 and 1901 census for Joseph Ernest GILHAM born approx 1888 Malling, Kent.
I know for a fact that Joseph married Eliza J Hook in 1907, Malling.
There are a few Joseph Gilham's on the census but they are not the one I am looking for.  I have tried to do various mis spelling but failed!!

On the 1911 census Joseph is down as Ernest and Eliza was born as Julia Eliza in 1887, Maidstone.

Can anyone help me please?

Thanks in advance.

Who were his parents?  Do you have a copy of his marriage cert showing his fathers name

Freebmd only has one entry in the birthyear you give

Births December qtr 1888 
 
GILHAM  Joseph    Milton  2a 860

There are a few Joseph Gilham's on the census but they are not the one I am looking for

The 1891 only has one entry for a Joseph Gillham - note spelling

RG12; Piece: 716; Folio 68; Page 10

I too thought that was the correct Joseph but it isnt because I later found the same Joseph with the initial G as middle name!!

I havent the marriage cert as yet but thought I might be able to progress without it at the moment.  I did think I was missing something, but somehow I dont think I am!!!

Hi

Can you change the text of your posts to black

The 1888 birth does not have any middle initial

I know there is no Joseph Ernest for a birth around that time!

I got the middle name off the marriage:
