Birth of disabled child

[peb21]

Hi

Have you checked the dates to find out if this was the area they were living in?.   If they were, I wouldn't rule this one out - nor accept it - but to keep it in mind.

Could she had used a different christian name so not to bring 'shame' on the family?.
When did they move to Sydenham?.

I have a family in my tree that changed their surname, when one of his daughters died, the father was down on the cert. as step-father, the same applied on another daughters marriage cert.  Yet he was their father.

I did wonder if that was a possibility. I'll see if I can find a Jane Elizabeth Jones in the area in 1901.

As I suspected there are loads of possibles It would be worth looking for events in the area for Louisa's family

Janan,  what kind of events for Louisa's family do you mean?

Sorry. I meant if there were any births, marriages or deaths in Poplar registration district for family members around 1906. Although if Louisa did give birth in Stepney Workhouse under an assumed name she may well have done so in another area than where the family lived at that time.

Now revisiting the hunt for this child. It was a boy, who was alive in 1924. That’s all I know about him. Still no name

[annel80]

I’m questioning whether he was indeed called Albert and also whether he was a dwarf. It’s an unusual story  for someone to make up

I have found a birth in Lewisham in 1Q 1898  1d 1171for an Albert Jones so may have to take a chance and get the birth certificate.

Hi annel80,

Using 'new' GRO index this birth registered with mmn Tibbs.

Probably puts this boy out of the running.

Regards, Tony.

Thanks Tony. That ones rules out then !

Perhaps the 1921 census will provide some answers   Not long to wait now.
