Adolphus Charles Tilbury Alverstoke

[dippitybix]

Hello,

I'm looking for some help regarding my 1st cousin 5x removed Adolphus Charles Tilbury born 11 Feb 1867 born to Charles Tilbury and Ellen Susannah Mursell.

He was married to Mary - I found on ancestry a marriage record for Adolphus Charles Tilbury to a Mary Ann Knipe. A lot of trees on ancestry has his wife as a Mary Ann Waldron but I can't find any marriage records for this. I know ancestry trees are notorious for error.

Also in the 1901 census Adolphus is living with his wife Mary Ann and child Edith Tilbury aged 12 born Gosport.

I can't find any birth records for an Edith Tilbury with mother's maiden name Knipe or Waldron.

A search on the British Newspaper Archive shows that Adolphus was in and out of trouble. His father Charles was a butcher turned cab owner, Adolphus was also a butcher in his earlier life but went into cab driving/owner later on. He went to prison for stealing in 1905. There are also newspaper articles regarding him abandoning his wife but I can only access the newspaper archive when I visit my local library at the moment. There is also a free article on there about him being charged for cruelty to animals.

Any help provided would be greatly appreciated

I think possible 2nd marriage in 1902 Portsmouth to a Mary Ann Waldron, as on 1911 census says the marriage of Adolphus and Mary Ann was of nine years.

Married 1887 but no children by 1891 yet 1901 shows Edith was b 1889?.  As she is their only child I suspect she may be adopted

Aldolphus Charles Tilbury was charged on the information of Annie Tilbury his wife, who alleged that he had deserted her.

There is more to the story, confirms they got married in 1887, says he was living with another woman at Bury Road.

Thank you for this information.
I've found him in the 1921 census as an inmate of the Alverstoke Workhouse.

There is also a record on ancestry of an Adolphus Charles Tilbury in the UK Royal Navy Register of Seaman's Services

Name   Adolphus Charles Tilbury
Gender   Male
Birth Date   17 Jun 1866
Birth Place   Gosport, Hants
First Service Date   7 Jul 1884
First Ship Served On   Duke of Wellington
Last Service Date   3 Nov 1885
Last Ship Served On   Vernon
Service Number   127415

However I don't really understand what the record is saying, if it's the correct person is it saying he died due to an injury when on leave?! There can't be many other Adolphus Charles Tilburys out there.
