Wilhelm - St George in the East -brickwall

[Lisa1975]

Hi, i'm helping a friend with his family tree and haven't been able to find any records for his Great Grandmother Frederica. Wilhelm

Her marriage record, 1911 census and death record all show her year of birth as 1886 but i cannot find her on the 1891 or 1901 census so i'd be grateful for a fresh pair of eyes please.

The 1911 census (she is Frederica. Curl by then) mentions her birth place as Whitechapel and says she is a British Subject by Parentage

I have found a birth record for 1886 which may have been transcribed as Frederick in error

Any help with this brickwall would be appreciated

Registration Quarter:    Apr-May-Jun
Registration Year:    1886

Thank you

It was on Freebmd as Frederick

I can't find the family at all on the 1891 or 1901 either. I wonder if, like my great grandparents, they anglicised  their surname? Looks as if you may have to get her birth certificate to find her parent's names, unless you have the wedding certificate with her father's name.

You say in the first post that you have a marriage record showing her age - what does it say about the name and occupation of her father, and who were the witnesses?

Also, what was the bride's address at the time of marriage (and was it the same as the bridegroom's)?

Hi, sorry i should have said that i found the marriage entry for 1909 on Freebmd but no other info as of yet. I got her age from the bmd marriage entry and her age on the 1911 census. I'll order the marriage certificate today
