Samuel Powell and Annie Wheeler in 1901, 1911?

[bugbear]

I have a married couple, and their 7 children; Samuel Powell married Annie Wheeler in 1886, Kensington (FreeBMD).

I have found 7 children in all (mainly via GRO records), and I have 5 baptism certificates (Ancestry) I have their 1891 census (Class: RG12; Piece: 25; Folio: 165; Page: 38) showing them at 20 Lonsdale Rd, Notting Hill, but baptisms shows them at 10 Munro Mews, Golborne after mid 1891.

I have found some later evidence that at least some of the children survived.

On the 1891 census Samuel and Annie claim to be born 1865, in Marylebone.

But I cannot find ANY 1901 or 1911 census for either Samuel and Annie,
nor any of their children.

Any and all help welcomed (children details appended)

Have you got the marriage cert which would clarify their ages, hopefully

No - which is surprising to me, since Ancestry has good coverage of London parishes (hence the baptism certs).

possible Marriage for

Ethel Annie Powell aged 20 address Westbourne Terr North

20/10/1907,St Mary Magdalene

father Samuel, not shown as "dec"

That's pretty much a perfect hit. Thank you. I will look into "Westbourne Terr North".

No, Mabel is NOT on the 1891 census, not can I find a death in FreeBMD.
I hope Samuel was still alive in 1896, since George William Powell was born in 1904. :-)

Ok, back to the drawing board

Who were the Newbolds then?

LM

[bugbear]

I've just been (out of optimism) chasing them.

They appear to be father and daughter;

In 1901 (RG13/27/140 p 31), Edward and his new wife Hannah, are living with their children Fanny and Annie at 6 Lonsdale rd;

This is "of some interest" since Samuel and Annie Powell were at 20, Lonsdale Rd, for at least the period 1889-1891.

In 1911 Annie is a cook, lodging at what looks like a boarding house, 4 St Stephens Square, Westbourne Park.

EDIT; the 1891 census (RG12/25/167 p 42) is more helpful.

It looks like Edward F Newbold, the father, is 37, Hannah is 26 (so the 1901 is "odd"), and Annie has a brother, Edward S Newbold.

The address is still 6 Lonsdale.


So - I don't think the Newbolds are "important", but I believe their presence confirms beyond dispute that this is "our" Annie Ethel.

They are very evasive

LM

[bugbear]

They are very evasive

LM

Agreed. Bizarrely so.

BTW, I've found Annie Ethel Weekly's death in 1983. That's late enough that the record has a precise birth date, which matches that given on the baptism cert.
