Alfred Eugene Fenton

[aidansrest]

Hi

I am hoping that someone maybe able to locate this person along with his father and mother.

Alfred Eugene Fenton born on the 18th January 1901 in 28 Gillbridge Avenue, Sunderland.

Father was Albert Fenton and mother, Annie (nee Sharland).

I can't find 28 Gillbridge Avenue on the 1901 census (it seems to stop at number 17), nor can I find a record of a marriage between Albert and Annie.

Any help in locating them in 1901 and beyond would be much appreciated. Or prior to this date!

Thanks

Sue

What was Albert's occupation on the birth certificate? 

Could it be that the family moved to Scotland/Ireland or emigrated?

There are some properties in Gillbridge Avenue that are not numbered in 1901 probably even numbers as the last page has numbers 4 & 6.  Still no sign of them though.

If you have access to Ancestry looks like there is a few records for Alfred Eugine Fenton up to 1966 on the U K Navy Lists ....Temporary Boatswain then Lieutenant Commander

Hi

Thanks for all that!

I am trying to do some research on Alfred for his daughter; she was only 10 years of age when he died.
She is his daughter by his second marriage to Dorothy C Buck.
She has unsuccessfully tried to trace his parents, both after and prior to their marriage, but without any luck!
I have emailed her to ask if she can give me her grandfather's occupation from her father's birth certificate.
I do use ancestry, but only the basic version, so the additional information you have sent his great!

Thanks

Has she got a copy of the marriage certificate to see what it says about his father ? Like the others not seeing them in the census forms

Odd one! And I need help!

I looked for a birth with FENTON mmn SHARLAND and only came up with Percy FENTON born 1912 Bridlington. I looked for FENTONs in Bridlington on "that census" and didn't see any likely suspects. Then-looking for any FENTON births I noticed all the little girls (Dorothy,Gladys and Annie) seemed to be under another surname on the census.

From that census I backtracked to:
1901 Census A*try
Name:   Rt Mari
Age:   3/12
I THINK the address is 28 Gillbridge?
4705/74/ 46
4705; Folio: 74; Page: 46

Any idea what the surname is supposed to be???
