Henry Shrubsole

[BoBo]

Hi
Can anybody help me locate Henry Shrubsole?  According to family information he was born in 1860 in Canterbury Kent.  He married an Emily ? and by the 1891 census they had two children by the names of Emily and Molly.  I am uncertain as to where and when they were married but I do know that Emily was married in 1905 in Wandsworth, London.  Can anyone locate his birth, marriage or even on the census records for me?

Many thanks

Before we all get stuck into this, you might like to try 1881 census, plus freeBMD for his birth and marriage , all free to search, as then you will get the thrill yourself of finding things!
If you get stuck do ask though.

Hi
Have already looked at FreeBMD but no luck there. Not yet looked at the 1881 census but will do now. 

Thanks

I am trying to find the 1891 census that you refer to, but am having trouble - have you got the ref?

Hi
No sorry I haven't.  I know that Emily was born in 1885 and Molly in1890.  I have been told by an Aunt that Molly was born in Wandsworth.

How did you get on with 1881?

Looking at his occupation, I would say this is a possible for him:

RG 11 1047 56 8

Wadhurst, Sussex

Henry Shrubsole 20 lodger Wood Blocker bn Barham Kent

lodger in a household with lots of other lodgers

In order to help pinpopint the marriage, it might be worth getting a birth cert of a child to see mothers maiden name.

Here (I think) is Agnes's birth -

Jul/Aug/Sep 1886
Wandsworth 1d 661
Agnes Jane Shrubsole

(I wonder if Agnes was known as Molly?)
