Find Ancestors

Hi all, can someone please look up in Ancestry.com a Charles Presley I think his middle name is Emery born about 1847 in Middlesex England. I have his parents as John Hardy Presley born about 1816 in Bath, and Rebecca Emery born about 1820, I also have a sister Fanny Hardy Presley. I'm trying to find out who Charles married. I think I have the right Charles. I have two ladies to choose from a Rose Connor or Elizabeth Mott. I have tried to look in the census but cant find him in any, greatly appreciated thanks.

No problem - FMP version of the 1901. Neither have the intervening census years with the same spelling

although you can probably find Squire J's birth and death, an additional name may be of interest. A family name or theatrical?

London ER
Squire Jack Hardy Presley
Year: 1919
County or Borough: Kensington and Chelsea
Ward or Division/Constituency: Kensington
42 St Lawrence Road, W10
He is the only one with the same surname at that address - Woman didn't have the vote

Yes I saw that one but the birth date doesn't match but I'm thinking maybe Squires son. as I have Squire J Presley born about 1887. So now try to find a marriage for Squire Presley around 1910ish.
Jill

The age of majority was 21, so on that basis he'd have had to have sired a legitimate son by 1898 & he was single on the found census!

There’s a note that his dob "would appear to be 27 Jun 1886 although the one given (on the transcript) is to be adhered to for official purposes."
The corrected dob would tie in with his birth reg

First name(s) SQUIRE JACK H

Volume 4A Page 427

I think he's the same man. You might want to search for records under his alias as well as his 'official' name

Thank you so much for your help yes I will do that search both names many thanks.

Unless you can find another Jack H Presley, these might be worth considering
