Frank WINN b1877

[dbee7]

I'm looking at Frank Winn b1877 Bengal India. In the 1891 census he is to be found living with his parents in Western Road Brighton.

I believe it's the same Frank Winn that I find a marriage in 1899 in Southwark, London to either Ada Townsend or Harriet Sarah Turner, but then cant find anything of them in the 1901 census.

In the 1911 census, on his own is Frank Winn, a warehouseman in Southwark, London. It looks as if someone other than Frank has filled out the form because at age it states about 40 but not certain, married but not sure for how long, then forgotten, it then shows he has two children and he was born in India.

I have then found a Jenny Winn married 11yrs with two children, Frank b1906 Camberwell and Reginald Charles b1907 Southwark, living in Terminus Road, Brighton. In the 1911 census.

As yet I've not sent off for any certificates to verify anything but I'm puzzled that I cant find any of them on the 1901 census, by the vague nature of the 1911 form for Frank and the name Jenny which doesn't seem to tie in anywhere.

Any ideas please.
David.

Hello,

Many thanks for your replies, this is quite strange, I search with Findmypast and cant find Frank Winn in 1901, cant find Jenny Winn and couldn't find Dean Street, Soho, London, in the end I have got them by just searching Dean Street, London, then I get six to choose from including Soho!!
Even searching simply for Winn, London. Showed several pages of Winns but failed to show Frank, very strange, however with your input I have filled the 1901 space in my search.

Once again thanks for your help.

David.

The marriage with Harriet sarah Turner shows his father to be John Winn, Army pensioner. address is 39 Queens Buildings. Frank is a warehouseman

They have a son Frank b 1905 baptised in Southwark. Address is 11 Avondale Square, Old Kent Road. Again Frank snr is a warehouseman

Frank Winn & Harriet Sarah are on the electoral register in Southwark in 1928 with Frank Jnr and Reginald Charles. Looks like Jennie & Harriet Sarah are one and the same

Hi David

I found them in 1901 using mygenealogist.co.uk, using the soundex search.  The census has them as WYNN.  The soundex search is just so good......

Best wishes
