Looking for the family of John Amos Dunford,born 1914 Shoreditch, need to confirm parents..I believe they were Henry Albert Dunford (born 1892, Shoreditch) and Louisa Chandler they married 1912 Shoreditch.
Only found Henry Albert Danford in the 1911 census aged 19 in Shoreditch but nothing before that??
Other household members for Henry in 1911 census or finding him 1901 would be great.
Thanks

Thanks for your efforts, should not have posted the question before I knew for sure... John Amos Dunford born 1914 parents were John Dunford and Margaret Chandler married in 1917 Shoreditch. There were 2 marriages of Dunford's and Chandler's in Shoreditch..Henry Dunford and Louisa Chandler in 1912 and John Dunford and Margaret Chandler in 1917. I choose Henry and Louisa as the parents of John Amos because they were married before his birth in 1914...I was wrong again!!! John Dunford and Margaret Chandler married in 1917 now confirmed as John Amos Dunford parents, their other children known are Joseph, Arthur, Gladys, Terry and Elizabeth all born in Shoreditch. Would like to trace John Dunford and Margaret Chandler before their marriage in 1917.
Thanks

Margaret Chandler born @ 1888 died Shoreditch 1962.

Given the name of her son John Amos could this be her.
Margaret Chandler 1888 to Amos Edward Chandler a Painter and Decorator born 1845 St Lukes London he died in 1911 and Elizabeth Margaret Chandler nee kerr.
Margaret had sister Elizabeth Margaret Chandler 1870 who married 1891 to William Stevens.
1901/1911 Margaret is with them.

Edit Elizabeth Margaret Chandler nee kerr 1845 died1881 then Amos Edward was with a Bridget 1857-1889.
They had albert Edward 1884 and Margaret 1888 in Hoxton Shoreditch

Maryb

Margaret Chandler was born Shoreditch June Q 1887 1c 70 as
Bridget Margaret Chandler

Baptism 1887 Bridget Margaret born 7th May 1887 to Amos Edward and Elizabeth Chandler

a copy of her birth cert may clear up who was mother !!

was this where John Amos born 1914 got his second Christian name from

Margaret Dunford died Shoreditch Mar Q 1962 5d 596 74 y

Mavis :-)

I think the Bridget Margaret 1887 was the daughter of Amos Edward 1864 the son of Amos Edward Chandler 1845.


Maryb.

Amos Edward Chandler 1845 had George William Chandler 1867 he married 1885 to Charlotte Gardner
They had Louisa Sarah Chandler 1892 she married Henry Albert Dunford 26/12/1912 his dad John Dunford a traveller.

1932 Henry Albert Dunford at 37,Custance Street the home of Amos Edward Chandler in the 1890s.
1901 Amos was at 22,Custance Street.

Maryb.

John Dunford who was married to Margaret Chandler was living at
his death in Mar Q 1938 Shoreditch 1c 68 74y in 2 Britannia Gardens
where he lived for most of his married life in Britannia Street -- though not
found him on Census .

his 1st wife was Jane Jelly Dorset

On the Bridget "wife" of Amos Edward Chandler we do have the baptism of
Albert Edward Chandler to Amos Edward and Bridget Chandler 27th Jan 1884
a Birth of a Bridget Chandler Sep 1885 to 1886 when she died

There is a death of a Bridget Chandler Dec Q 1889 Shoreditch 1c 52
aged 32y

a birth cert for Albert Edward should tell you Bridget's surname !!
