Ethel Maud Fox (1886 - 1966)

Stephen Report 22 Jan 2015 13:56

Ethel Maud Fox (1886 - 1966) is registered on her own at 8 St Albans Terrace, Fulham in the 1911 census. Her marriage to Fergus Thompson in 1916 shows her father as Charles Fox (Deceased). I cannot trace her in the 1891 or 1901 census nor for her birth in 1886 (in Forest Gate according to the 1911 census). Does anyone have any connection?

His Military records are available on Ancestry. Oddly enough he gives his marriage date as 31 St. May 1911

Fergus Thompson
GENDER: Male
BIRTH DATE: abt 1888
AGE AT ENLISTMENT: 27
MARRIAGE DATE: 31 May 1911
MARRIAGE PLACE: Wandsworth
RESIDENCE PLACE: 36 Bronsart Rd, Fulham
DOCUMENT YEAR: 1915
REGIMENTAL NUMBER: 20324
NUMBER OF IMAGES: 12
FORM TITLE: Short Service Attestation

Winifred Ethel Thompson Child, b. 8 Dec 1912
Fergus James Thompson Child b. 6 Feb 1913
Albert Edward Thompson Child b. 25 July 1914
Alexander Richard Thompson child b. 10 Dec. 1915

Just wondering if Ethel is the mother of any of the above children as they don't seem to marry until 1916 as you said. Surely Winifred and Fergus must have different mothers if the birth dates are correct.

Winifred E Thompson
MOTHER'S MAIDEN NAME: Fox
REGISTRATION YEAR: 1912
REGISTRATION QUARTER: Jan-Feb-Mar

INFERRED COUNTY: London

Fergus J Thompson
MOTHER'S MAIDEN NAME: Fox
REGISTRATION YEAR: 1913

So looks like the year of Winifred's birth is wrong on his army records.

Harriet Ann Shearman married Charles James Fox who appears to call himself Henry A Fox in 1891 or is it 2 different families?

Welcome to the Community boards Stephen.


The best way to find out if anyone has a connection, is to put the names you are researching into the Search All Members Trees facility (click on the Search button above).



(I'll let Stephen know how to find his replies) :-)
