Unable to find death record for Alfred Edgar JEWSON
« on: Thursday 31 July 25 16:15 BST (UK) »
Hi
Arthur Edgar Jewson, was my great grandfather, born 10 Jan 1847 in King’s Lynn.
He married Amelia Caroline Wearing in 1868 and their daughter Mabel Lilian Jewson was my paternal grandmother.
The last Census I know to be him is 1891, although transcription has it Janson not Jewson!
I have found other records for the name Alfred Edgar Jewson beyond the 1891 census but the information they contain contradictory so I am not sure they do actually relate to my great grandfather.
Could he have died during WW1 and his civilian death not recorded and therefore the reason I cannot find anything.

Hello, and welcome to Rootschat. I’m responding mainly to bump this up the list. I have had a quick look for the death but have not found anything conclusive.

I did note that in 1891 there are visitors in the Jewson household —Arthur and Elizabeth Aldgate — and in 1901 Alfred Jewson’s youngest son Edwin, 17, is recorded as nephew in the household of the same Arthur and Elizabeth Aldgate. This is consistent with Alfred having died before 1901, but it isn’t very strong evidence.

This might help to positively identify if he is yours.

Alfred JEWSON at 37 Albert Rd Peckham is with wife Christiana in 1891. So yes, he is the wrong one.

May I ask whether his name is Arthur Edgar, or Alfred Edgar? You mention both.

Also, welcome to RootsChat.  :)

He is in the Southwark area in 1894 electoral rolls, at Same address as 1891 census, 15 Thurlow Street.

If it the same Alfred he is at 77 Duncan Buildings in Finsbury in 1898 until 1902.

There is an Alfred in Clerkenwell in 1911 born in Kings Lynn, but he is 60. Mother Mary Ann is there and some children. Is this one of the other contradictory ones you found.

mckha489, I think this is the one you found.

Can't see him in 1901 census anywhere.

There is an Alfred JEWSON, 47, born Kings Lynn in 77 Duncan Buildings Holborn in 1901, with wife Mary (38) and a number of step children and younger children. He is a general labourer though.  :-\

When Mabel Lillian marries in 1898 it does not say Alfred is deceased, which it sometime does. Also when Millie marries in 1908, the same.

There is a marriage, Southwark 1894
Mary Hunter and an Alfred Edgar Jewson same page.

They can be seen in 1901 with some Hunter step children
