Henry C. Hamblin

[janan]

Despite the wrong age I think Harry Hamblin is highly likely to be yours, especially as he is a boarder which can lead to wrong details or maybe he lied about his age. Does he give correct age on later censuses?
To answer my own question  in 1901 says he is 28 but  in 1911 he states  he is 42 - so some confusion there.

Thanks janan  , as always very suportive in understanding  my limited experience.

This entry is a bit of a chesnut thats been sighted  by others before, but I  thought worth an airing again with a  known fixed birth date.

In that  none of his given ages, by Henry or others, have never coordinated with the math to date  . This would be par for course. From that I assume,  he or informants had no real idea of his age, or not much interest anyway.

Hi, No, I don't think that Maria married a Hamblen. But she must have been calling herself Hamblen, according to the marriage register. Presumably he was the man who had fathered her children (one or two or all three). Can he now be found? Jon

.

Apologies once again, heatwave temperatures on average mid 30°C's, just makes working on something like this very difficult and rather than post a mess, ive laid back, temperature today thankfully has dropped.

I see jonw65 says he doesn't think Maria Beale married a Hamblen, but she began using the presumed father's surname of her children. Of course we don't know if he fathered all three of the children.

Hi
I think it's now reasonable to assume that Jacob Henry fathered all three children. They all have the Hamblen middle name, and we know a Henry Hamblen is the father on certificates 1 and 3. We also have your Henry born in Manchester Street?

It probably won't help, though we can hope, but Jacob Henry did leave a will. With wife Julia the executor. We don't know when it was written of course. For £1.50 it wouldn't do any harm to have it?

I just tried on GRO and got it fine. I usually find when I can’t get something that I have mucked up the district or the quarters.
This entry comes up OK if you forget about them and just enter his name Henry Hambler in 1869 (1868 +/- 1 worked too)

Having looked at this again, I'm really sorry to say that this is getting a little puzzling....
We have a Henry Hambler Hambler, born 19/12/1868, 13 Great Ormond St., Holborn.
His father is a Henry Hambler, Wine Merchant.
His mother is Maria Beale.

So this is the same child that passed away 18 Sep 1869?
Somewhere down the line i have as the parents a Jacob H Hambler (1828-1874) and Maria Beale (b. 1850).
Doesn't appear to make sense from the Family Tree Maker PC programme i have.

[Calpe 1704]

I think he is in Pancras in 1871
No Jacob, he is just Henry Hamlin
Married, Age 43, Merchant, born Falmouth

Visiting Walter D Whitty, Barrister at law, and his wife Catherine. Both 33, born Liverpool.
Where is his wife Julia?

Ok so ive removed the Jacob, but now we have yet another spelling of his surname Hamlin.
What does the 'visiting Walter D. Whitty......' mean?
