Thanks for all your replies, folk. I'm sorry I've not answered you all before, but it has been a bit hectic recently. I suppose Augustus could be his middle name, I'll try on that tack. Thanks again all David

Thanks for your replies, I just don't know any more at present. I'll be off the boards for a day or two as I'm going to a funeral in Somerset. Regards david

had no luck with Agustus/Gus did he have a second name? On a another track found Robert Nelson 47 death Camberwell 1899 3rd 1/4 1d 588 Which would make Agustus17 when his father died,does that make sense? Ann

Matthew Augustus Nelson Birth Dec 1881 Camberwell Vol: 1d Page: 927 Have you ruled this birth out? Possible for William showing as born in 1882 William Charles V Nelson Births Sep 1883 Camberwell Vol: 1d Page: 893 Also found this entry Matthew Augustus Nelson St Olave Bermondsey 1d 433 Marriages Dec 1904 Maureen

Was he a twin ? or has he been mistranscribed as William? If you look at above there is william b:1882? Don't think out of the box! anything is possible. Ann

Ann Yes, that is the family, but I just can't find Augustus anywhere. He was known as uncle Gus, I wonder if he could be under that. David

Could this be the Family but no Agustus at home? Ada F Nelson abt 1893 Southwark Daughter St George the Martyr London View Record Charles Nelson abt 1886 Camberwell Son St George the Martyr London View Record Louisa Nelson abt 1852 Westminster Head St George the Martyr London View Record William C Nelson abt 1882 Camberwell Son St George the Martyr London Ann

I am looking for : Augustus Nelson on the 1891 he is: Nelson, Augustus abt 1882 Camberwell, London Son St George the Martyr London As the family seem to change their birthplaces from census to census, he could have been born in the Southwark/Newington area. Can't find him on the 1901, and I have looked thro' the birth indexes also. I know he lived to a ripe old age and I met him in the 1960's. David

Thank you very much all. It seemes it is not the family I'm looking for, Regards David

Think it must be Chettle as there is this birth on Ancestry:- Ellen Maud Chettle Dec. qtr. 1900, St. Saviour, 1d, 61 This would be the 6 month old Ellen on the 1901 census, although she is transcribed as 6 years old, the image actually says 6 months. Kath. x

Possible for Augustus in 1891....CHETTLE Chettle, Alice abt 1854 London, England Wife Newington London Chettle, Amelia abt 1877 Lambeth, London, England Son Newington London Chettle, Augustin abt 1881 Lambeth, London, England Son Newington London Chettle, Henry abt 1852 Lambeth, London, England Head Newington London Chettle, Henry abt 1875 Lambeth, London, England Son Newington London

you do realise that they are 2 families not living to gether. what name was you hoping it said? it could be Chettle Jeanette

Edwin and Maria are definatly CHETTLE as they are on the 1891/81 !

Looks like Chessle for them but about a dozen lines down is what looks like a possible mum and dad and it looks like Chessler for them.

It definitely looks like Chessle on the image, although they are two separate families - Edwin and Maria are one family and the other three another family. I can send you the image if you pm with your email address. Kath. x p.s. Esta could be right, and it could be Chettle.

I would say Chettle - Maria and Edwin are further down the page aswell !!
