Thanks everyone.
Yes it is the family in 1891 listed by groom. the only one that I can trace is William who enlisted in the Royal Marine Light Infantry at Deal in 1903; Married in 1909 to Kate Ellen Bishop; Served til 1925; Died from accident at Lloyds Paper Mill, Sittingbourne, April 1939.

Maybe Charled died in WW!.
But the others seem to vanish

Winchester St and the parallel Southampton St did change name but perhaps later than 1894. I have a Bartholemews map dated 1930 with the old names.

Is William your direct line, and do you have his birth certificate?

It may be just me, but I can't seem to find matching birth records for some of these KENT children, so I'm wondering if they might be under a different surname in 1901? Just a thought.

ADDED - I guess the critical question is, How sure are you that this is the correct KENT family?

So far no Birth Certificate. William is direct line but the only link with this Kent family is Williams wedding certificate (1909) which says William's father was John Kent (deceased), Cabinet Maker.

Also Williams enlistment forms show b1884 in Hackney.

Also a younger brother Charles killed in WW1

I had hoped that tracing the siblings might fillin the gaps. But they disappeared.

Is it certain that there are no enumeration records for the district in 1901?
Thanks for your elp.

Thanks for clarifying. So you are looking for a KENT family, with William born around 1884 in Hackney, a younger brother Charles, and a father John KENT, who was a cabinet maker and deceased by 1909.

Maybe we should put the Clerkenwell lot aside for the moment and look for another KENT family? We can always come back to them if necessary.  :)
