Who lived at 52 Earl Road Old Kent Road in 1905?

Hi Heywood and Jonw65, thank you for your interest, yes, still searching for the elusive Mary (Barnes) Puplett.

The only actual record I have her on is the 1891 census…. the addresses below are from baby Mary’s death certificate. Mother Mary’s occupation is shown as a hawker at St Stephens Place, Tabard Street. (Her father James was recorded as a Hawker on her marriage certificate so I was hoping there might be a link there)… her residence was shown as 52 Earl Road, Old Kent Road….?

I will have a look into Joseph Carey and see if that leads anywhere…. I can’t find her other children either, so was thinking she might be living with someone else and using their name, but baby Mary is registered and baptised as Puplett, so unlikely she is someone else’s?

Thank you both, any other suggestions, inspiration or advice would be greatly appreciated

Hi Heywood, no, I haven’t been able to find Annie Blanche either, not in census, marriage or death records? They are an elusive lot, and I’ve been looking for a very long time…..

There is a baptism of Ada Blanche Puplett, 23 Dec 1896, Camberwell, Sacred Heart

Parents Thomas James and Mary olim Barnes

Baptized with her siblings John Edward and Samuel George.
Names are Latinized

Thank you Jonw65, I had seen that, I always thought it was odd that the three were baptised at that time, particularly as John Edward had already been baptised, the two older siblings Mary and Thomas, were not included. And then John Edward and Samuel are again baptised in October 1904?

Modified to add that the baptisms in 1896 are about 6 months after the death of Mary’s husband Thomas if that is significant?

Do you have the Godparents names? Just wondering if there might be clues there.

Hi
There is only one, shared between all three of them!
Could it be Mia Molini?

[jonwarrn]

Mia (if that's right) may be in Weybridge in 1901.Age 54, widow, born Camberwell. A daughter is with her.
Mill Molini on ancestry.

[heywood]

Yes, that’s the one I just found and in 1891 477/105 Maria Moline in Peckham.

[jomcd967]

I can’t find Mia prior to 1891?

Modified- just found her and daughter Edith in 1881, no obvious connection at this point… I shall continue looking …🤞🏻
