What do you hope to find about him?
You know his birth and death dates, and names of parents and siblings, so presumably you have found records for him?

If you know any more about him than you've mentioned, please let us know.

The 1911 census shows 5 children, Bertie William 19, Harry 16, Walter 14, Samuel 11 and Sydney 9. Parents had 7 children, 6 still living. I assume Ernest was the missing one? Already left home? And another one had died.

When was your Ernest born, Colin?

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:

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.

Margaret Ann living with Samuel was his niece (Daughter of Samuel's brother Charles Ernest- he married Margaret Davidson)

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.

Colin

What makes you think he married?

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

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.

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