Marriage certificates

Keep the beef and lose the mushrooms!

I couldn’t find him at all and it seems odd for Ralph to be his father when Ralph and all his other children are from Northumberland.  I wonder if he was adopted into the family somehow but then he would be with them as a child and he isn’t on census with them.  Very odd. 

He isn’t with his wife in 1911 either, she is with her parents I believe.

Millipede, was just about to put pen to paper as it were and suggest perhaps he had  been adopted , how about just looking for any Charles Edward born the suggested  birth year Islington  or surrounding àrea.
I have let my sub to A******y lapse at the moment,  otherwise  I could search further, I feel hh must be somewhere on at least the 1901, 1911 he might have joined a force in which case he might not be listed ,my father in law wasn't .
Don't give up

Have been looking on census but no suggestions yet I’m afraid.  Will have another look with fresh eyes tomorrow.

On his military record he has a sister Nellie Eastham
7 Leamington Terrace, Acton, London

(And says he is 29 yrs 9 mths on 7 August 1914, born West Hampstead. Which is younger than he should be if he was 27 when he married in 1908)

at that address in 1911.

Elizabeth A Eastham . Head. 56 widow baker & confectioner born Childrey, Berks. 2 children. 1 deceased
Eleanor L. Eastham daughter 23 born Acton
Ellen King/Ring , mother, 80, born Little Challow, Berks
 
Following them back there is a son Charles R. Eastham he was born 1883. And despite the answer to the children question he is alive in 1911. Boarding with the Newnham family. He is a Baker.
BUT he then marries Rose Louisa Newnham in 1912, and they are still both accounted for in 1921.

So… why did Charles Nesbitt etc say his sister was Nellie Eastham?

Eleanor Louisa  Eastham
1885
 Brentford
Ref 3a 121
Mothers maiden name king
Is that a familiar name?

I know this birth is a bit later than we are looking but have you looked at it?

He would show much younger than his years shown on his marriage cert if this was him, he is a mystery, isn't he?. LM

Well, yes, but am getting desperate! 
And there is variance albeit not as great.

 27 1908 = 1881. 29 + 9 months 1914 =1883/4

Pity there are no baptisms.

Think I would search the census, 1991 for any Charles Edward, don't put a surname in, born give or take 2 years  either side of suspected birth year and either Islington or Hampsead place of birth, am out most of the day, will see what you find when I come home.
Happy hunting
