Marriage certificates

An enigma 

It also states on his enlistment that he was apprentice to J Simpson, Son ? London, in October 1902..would there be records?

Was also looking at a birth for Charles Clark mmn King in Brentford 1881, but the Eastham couple married May that year..so unlikely. Must be a connection to Eastham/King for him to name a sister and give address. The Eastham people are at that address from 1880s to after his death so same family as posted reply #21
 
Death of husband,
Deaths Mar Q 1887   
Eastham    Charles age    27    Brentford    3a   85

Edit - going back 9mths from August, his birth should be last quarter or if late first quarter of following year.

Would it be 44 Liverpool Road Islington? 

If so electoral register for 1908 has an Ernest Charles Stanley D’Alquen

Same address in 1907 has different people as well as him and seems to be split into rooms so he could have been lodging there, maybe he even is Ernest Charles!

Looking at his son's baptism at St Stephen Upper Holloway, it seems to me that the abode is 'St John's Road Workhouse' - dittoed from the top of the page.

Discharged from Islington Workhouse on 23rd August 1912
Bertha Clarke aged 25 and Edward S. Clarke aged 21 days.
Going to 606 Oxford Road, Reading.

Not that it helps to find Charles…..

Bertha seems to have been admitted several times to Islington Workhouse between May and August 1912.

Been looking for a Ralph deceased of independent means but no takers unsurprisingly.

What registration district was West Hampstead in circa 1881? 

Perhaps his occupation would help track down a census, electrical engineer wasn’t it in 1908

[KGarrad]

Hampstead was in Edmonton Registration District 1837-1848.
In Hampstead RD 1848-1977.
In Camden RD 1977 on.

The plot thickens!

The reason that I am doing this tree, is because, although he was born with the Name Nesbit Clark, my son in law was adopted my his mother’s 2nd husband…
My youngest grandson is very confused, so I have said that I would “do” the family tree to help him sort it.

I can’t thank you all enough. I do wonder if Charles Edward had an unhappy childhood, and he too spent time in workhouse.


The family is very much a Military one, I have even looked at India……desperation or what

I am so happy to be back into genealogy, it is good for my brain. I am quite disabled now, so can’t go to libraries, churches etc, as I used to, and my children all live a long way from me.

**update. I have ordered a pdf certificate of Charles Nesbit Clarke reg 1889 at Islington. I couldn’t order one to be viewed NOW, so I will have to wait a few days . Fingers crossed.
Thank you for those details MCKHA489
