Hi
Sorry about the confusion. My grand father was known as Ernest to me. His full name is Charles Ernest Albon and he was born in Potters Bar 6 February 1893. He married Margaret Davidson 27 Sept 1914. They had10 children I of whom died at a young age. Minnie 1919-1921.

The others are Margaret, Sarah, Minnie, Hilda, Irene, Susanna, William, Jean, Charles, and Betty.

My grandad moved north to Annistford in Northmberland and worked as a miner. Not sure when though.

With regards the mention of Walter, your right his full name was Walter Reginald Albon 1897-1936. He also never married

A tree on Ancestry lists 7 children of William & Louisa:
Bertie William, 1892
Charles Ernest, 1893 (is this your grandfather Ernest?)
Harry, 1895
Walter, 1897
Reginald, also 1897
Samuel, 1900
Sydney, 1902

Edit: I believe Walter & Reginald were one and the same.

I'm still confused, Colin, about Ernest who you say is your grandfather. He doesn't show up on either the 1901 or 1911 census, unlikely to have been born after 1911, his mother was already 51. I had asked you when he was born but you didn't answer.

HI
Yes this is the sibling of Samuel. I understand he Sidney had 5 children. Mary, Sidney, Mabel, Donald and Jean. They are next on list to research.
I was aware of the fairground accident.
His wife I believe was Mabel Morgan but I have not confirmed this yet.

Thank you for this it helps me confirm I am on the right track

Brilliant Thank you. This does help and it confirms my own thoughts

It doesn't look as if he did.
He's not living with a wife up to 1964, anyway, going by the electoral rolls.

If he did marry it would have been between 1964 and 1982, but there's no sign of any such marriage.

HI. No reason really, just trying find if he had been married or not. I can then move on

Samuel Albon was born 2nd Dec 1899 and died 26th April 1982. He was a farm worker and lived ay 65 Oak Mere Ave Potters Bar when he died. The informant was his niece Margaret Ann Albon.
I am unable to trace any marriage records for Samuel.

Thank you for all information already supplied.

Samuel is on ERs on Ancestry from 1919 - 1964, in Barnet Road, Potters Bar.

Living with him are a variety of siblings.

Up to 1939 (some years) there's also a Sarah Louise Mary Albon with him (and sometimes siblings).
In 1931 she's with Walter Reginald Albon.

Sarah's death:

Deaths Mar 1942 (>99%)
Albon Sarah L M 83 Edmonton 3a 1457


From 1945 onwards there's a Margaret A Albon with Samuel.

Just possibly Margaret's death??

Deaths Jun 1979 (42%)
ALBON MARGARET ANN 18FE1890 N TYNESIDE W 2 1135


I don't know who Sarah and Margaret are.

So far, if they're sister-in law / wife,(Sarah's presumably a sister-in -law) I don't see marriages to Albons.
