The 1901 census alone has 1,648 entries for that surname in London and you haven't mentioned any christian names so without more detailed information we have no way of determining the right entry

We need full names and birthyears (but not of any living persons)

If any were born and still alive  pre-1911 - you can look them up on the 1911 census at  http://www.1911census.co.uk/search/tnaform.aspx  which is a paysite

Births/Marriages and Deaths can be looked up on www.freebmd.org.uk

If any were born pre-1881 - the 1881 census is free at http://www.familysearch.org/eng/search/frameset_search.asp?PAGE=census/search_census.asp

The IGI is a good source for baptisms/christenings and is also free at http://www.familysearch.org/eng/search/frameset_search.asp?PAGE=igi/search_IGI.asp&clear_form=true

Hi Sarah

As Carole says difficult to help without more information. I think you may have more than you realise.

.my grandmother was bessie, I have her marriage certs and I have a few addresses..

So was she Bessie Hoare born 1906? If so you should be able to find her birth in Freebmd. Her marriage certificate probably gives her father's name and occupation, so you can look for him in the 1911 and 1901 and gradually trace him back in censuses until you find him with his parents. If you can then find their marriage that takes you back another generation.

It might be worth you contacting John Hoare, his branch of the Hoare family used to live in Deptford.

His Great Grandfather Edward Hoare used to be the landlord of the Railway Tavern in Deptford 1870’s to 1880’s. That pub was knocked down in the 1970’s.

It might just be geographic coincidence that two separate families named Hoare lived in Deptford or there may be a connection.

John has put a lot of work in and we both trace our Hoare ancestors back to the village of Chiddingstone in Kent around 1750.

He maintains a website with a section on Hoare genealogy here.
