Harry Victor Usher Parents

[mckha489]

1924 electoral register Joseph Thomas, Elizabeth and Harry Victor MINTON are all registered at 99 Grant road, which is the address he gives at his marriage.

The witness, Thomas Cook is at 109 Grant Road. (Lily’s address)
Also Emily Cook, Annie Russell and Edward James Sutton

(I think the shipping from Jamaica in my earlier post must be a complete coincidence)

19 August 1910, Henry, Ivy Elizabeth and Edith Minton Usher admission recorded at Wandsworth Union “parents in the workhouse”

[Neale1961]

1881 census St George Hanover Square
Elizabeth Usher 9 years, with parents Thomas (carpenter) and Harriet

1871 census St George Hanover Square
Elizabeth Usher 2 months, with parents Thomas (carpenter) and Fanny

Baptism St George Hanover Square 17 Apr 1874
Born 19 Jan 1871
Elizabeth Sophia, daughter of Thomas and Fanny USHER
Carpenter, Elizabeth Place.


Birth rego -
USHER, ELIZABETH  SOPHIA                         Mother - DANCE 
GRO Reference: 1871  M Quarter in SAINT GEORGE HANOVER SQUARE  Volume 01A  Page 352

My guess is that Elizabeth often changed her middle name from Sophia to Fanny, thus taking on her mother's name.

[Neale1961]

Fanny DANCE married Thomas USHER (carpenter) 31 May 1857 Henley on Thames, St Mary, Oxfordshire.

Fanny died in 1877
Burial 18 Oct 1877 in Brompton Cemetery
Address Elizabeth Place, Pimlico


Thomas USHER (widower, carpenter) re- married on 25 Nov 1878 St Martin-In-The-Fields, London
to Harriett WEST (widow) nee Hawkins.

?Possible Death for Thomas Usher in 1896 (Battersea)

Small side track, just to build a picture.

this man is on the electoral roll with the Mintons at this same address.

Looking at that address in 1921.
Lily Town is Thomas’s sister in law
Also present is Ada Town sister in law 20 years 8 months

Wandsworth
Intermediate School Swaffield Road: Admission and Discharge Register, 1911-1912

Ada and Lily recorded as orphaned. Sister recorded as Mrs Emily Cook

1912, they were sent to Anerley (I presume that is Anerley Residential School, Broadstairs)

I see that Albert & Selina Town were alive for the 1911 census. What did they die of so close together?

[mckha489]

Is this Joseph Thomas’s death?
