ANNIE DEMPSEY and GEORGE MEAD lookup please im so stuck!

[katiesam]

Hi all,

I'm searching for Annie Dempsey and George Mead, they are the parents of George James Mead born 1905 in St Olave, London. George James's birth cert states he was born 6th June 1905 on Swan Lane in Rotherhithe to George and Annie Mead formally Dempsey - I can't seem to find any info on them. I found what i believe to be George James aged 5 in 1911 as a boarder in Collingwood College, 29 Leyland Road, Lee - although this isn't confirmed to be him. George James went on the marry Annie Terry in 1925.

Please can anyone help, i've been looking for hours and haven't come up with anything! I can't find dates of birth or death dates and i can't find a record of their marriage either.

Is this another child?  … added, if it is he probably died the same qtr

What is George’s occupation on the birth cert?
Who was the informant?

Hi, I don't have any info on siblings so potentially!

On birth cert it says he was a dock laborer, no informant just registrar information

Possibly Annie was previously married in which case any marriage would be under her previous married name - not Dempsey

Yes i didn't think of that! Would explain why I'm finding it so difficult to find their marriage listed! Makes things alot harder - the marriage cert says formally dempsey rather than nee - not sure if that makes a difference or if it was just how they recorded names on the birth certificate

Example

Annie Dempsey marries Joe Bloggs - he dies

Annie Bloggs marries George Mead but any children born to either marriage will always shows Annies birth surname of Dempsey as that is her true maiden name

I did find a George Mead that married an Annie Eliza Stammers in 1903 which seems about the right time in Essex although Chelmsford way does seem a bit far away but could be possible. I can't find George Mead marrying another Annie in the right time frame. Without knowing when or where either of them are born i can't really whittle it down

There is this possible, maybe Annie is a nickname or middle name?
