Henry Shrubsole

[BoBo]

Hi Lizzi
Many thanks for the info.  I did look at the 1881 census and fould the same Henry Shrubsole.  Looking at his occupation I agree with you that it is the same person.  The ages on the 1891 census conform with the date of birth of Emily ( 11/2/1885), so I think the age error was done in the 1901 census.  What I don't understand is that my Aunt mentioned 4 sisters Emily 1885, Molly 1890, Queenie 1895 & Jubilee 1897.  Could these ladies be the wives of the Henry, John and Albert?

Who knows?
I cant find any births for Jubilee or Queenie Shrubs* for those years plus or minus 10 yrs either way!

Nor can I see any marriages for the boys to girls of these names.

It would be worth you trying to find the family in 1911, to see if these girls were actually younger sisters.

Can you ask your Aunt for any more? remember that recollections often get people and dates confused over the years.

I see you have an exact d ob for Emily -  have you got her birth cert? What info does that show?

The 1911 has a JUBLEE Shrubsole born 1897,the whole family appear to be in Wandsworth,parents look like they might be Emily b 1866 and Henry b 1861.

You would need to pay per view to see the transcript or better still the census image.

I think they may have been nicknames as they do not appear on the marriage indexes.

Hi Carol! Long time no see.

Good find in 1911

I wonder where Jubilee was in 1901? (either as Jubilee or real name, no birth under Jubilee)
The family had no 4 yr old, just a gap between Albert 8 and Jane 9 mths.

I will go a-searching!

The nearest female birth I can see is  Jessie Kate in 1898 in Epsom .....

There are numerous boys born around 1897 in WAndsworth reg distr, but not girls.

Here are the family in 1911.
I think dad's writing must have been quite difficult to read,the transcript of each child's name is quite funny! And why is daughter Emily down as a Shrubsole if she's widowed?

So Jubilee is a SON not a daughter!

And.......there's an Alfred Edward J Shrubsole born Wandsworth in Sept 1897......could the J stand for Jubilee?
