Help please with a baptism entry 1891 Wimbledon

[brightmount]

avm, you would think there must be a connection wouldn't you? But I can't find the Harvey family either in the 1891 census, and it was taken only a few weeks later than these baptismal entries.

Maybe the second name really is Inverity as it looks like. I can't see originals but the name does crop up in transcript as a surname on Ancestry and Scotland's People which I don't have access to. Maybe from the place name Inverarity. So the Ross and Harvey families may have gone straight back to Scotland hence why I can't find them.

The HARVEY family (indexed as HAWEY) are also living at 72 Palmerston Road in 1891, in the same house as the child 'Ernest T. Ross' (see reply #3 above), but as a separate household.

I think this is the child you are looking for Arnold/Ernest Ross.  Looking at the 1891 census I think the 'T' is a mistranscription of the initial 'I'. It is far too great a coincidence to have two babies both 3 months old in the same house and one with the surname of Ross.  So, what became of Arnold/Ernest parents?

PS - the // should indicate a separate household.  I believe all six to be in the same household

One slash / separates households, as indicated by the schedule numbers on the left.
Two slashes // separate dwellings.

I think there is one slash / after the son Charles Harvey, though it's hard to see because it's partly overwritten by a heavier diagonal stroke.

Hi,

I understood that  two strokes // denoted the beginning of a new household and one stroke / denoted the first person in a subsidiary family in a household.  But, yes point taken it is tricky to see if something is hidden under the heavier mark.
