They certainly took their time baptising the children!

Both baptisms have the same address as the 1841 census. Father is a 'coal whipper'

(something not adding up with this family!)

Another PM from Tony


Hi
They are my GG/Granparents they rest are not al I have is on my Dads Baptisum record Ann conlan is is Mum she was the daughter of William and Lydia and I ashume their parents came from Ireland and I found some info it the Booth,s sick Asylum records Stepney Union pages 332 book B163 refering to page 530 about his parents but I could not find them

Tony

I have a Marriage certificate for William and Lydia Hews 1865 and his father
Thomas is a lighterman an still alive
Tony

(PM received also)

the william in the reported robbery is from a different family he was born in 1834 my William was born in 1841

Tony

Chris :)

Hmm... seems a bit odd somewhere!, have seen many a Marriage Cert. with Father named, although 'Deceased' not added.

(Marriage on Ancestry, London also)

My thoughts too Chris

Tony, the fact that his father was not listed as deceased does not mean he was living

In fact the other way around applies too. My uncles father 'was' listed as deceased on his marriage certificate and in fact he was very much alive and kicking!

How can I check this I am trying to find him on the census records after 1841
Tony

Tony

You would need to buy the death certificate (1849) for Thomas

The informant would likely be a family member

William Conlan
