William Charles Race - a real brain teaser
« on: Friday 09 March 12 09:55 GMT (UK) »
Good afternoon everyone,

Almost completed my family tree.... but my great uncle William Charles Race refuses to reveal if he married, or when, and where he died.

He was born in Limehouse Stepney 14/02/1866. His father was William Race b1820 - d 1879 at 34 Giffen St Deptford.

1871 Census shows him with his siblings Thomas and Alice at the Mile End Industrial School

1881 Census shows him with mother Hannah and bother Thomas at 10 Berthon Terrace Deptford. Also at this address, his
sister Alice,has now married, and is shown as Alice Rogerson.

1891 Census shows him with mother Hannah and bother Thomas at 21 Regent St Deptford.

1895 mother Hannah dies in the Union Infirmary (Work House) address on death cert 99 Creek Road Deptford. Possibly William and Thomas were living with her?

Thereafter, my great uncle William vanishes.

Electoral registers in 1892,3,4 & 5 show a William Race at 20 Randle Place Roan St Greenwich.

However, I cannot be sure that this is him.

No record of him marrying or his death. His occupation was usually a labourer and it is likely that he did not use his middle name of Charles.

Any help with either information of guidance would be most gratefully received.

Thank you for reading this.

God bless

Thomas Race 
 
 PS I do have the birth death certs for both parents and siblings.
