Would anyone please see if they can find, hubbies gt grandfather. Samuel Green:born St Lukes. Middlesex. 1845. married Grace in 1871: living at Baches Street. London in 1881: where was he in 1891: can you help please? 1901 not living anywhere! Thanks in advance. Tricia

Hi Patricia Here they are in 1891: 50 Parnell Road, Bow: Samuel E(?) Green, Head, 41, Commercial Traveller, b. Middlesex St Lukes; Mary L Green, Wife, 39, b. Middlesex, Shoreditch; Mary A Green, Mother, Wid, 94, b. Middlesex, London; Mary L Green, Niece, 14, Scolar, b. Ireland; Martha L Green, Sister in Law, Wid, 37, Machinist (Sewing), b. Middlesex St Lukes; Ernest A Bewergill, Nephew, 15, Asay Officer (Assistant), b. Middlesex St Lukes. Do you really believe Samuel's mother was 53 when he was born? Or is his age wrong? Best wishes, Stan

Ancestry is down at the moment. Will try later

I,ve had another look at the mother, and decided the age is 74, confused by the crossing out as part of the counting. That seems a lot more likely. There are only two other Samuel Greens, nowhere near the right age, so I think this must be the one. Stan

Hi Ruth and Stan Thanks for your replies. Samuel was born 1845. married Grace who was born in Ipswich. Suffolk c1853. four children: George born: 1873 Arthur born: 1875 Adelaid born: 1876 Henry born: 1879. Tricia

Checked Grace Green, born Suffolk. Only 4 people in England of that name, oldest 15. She would have to be dead or changed her name - maybe second marriage, but more likely dead. Stan

Hi Patricia, No wonder I had so much trouble finding these, was just about to give up.

Hi Stan I have found Grace and the male children in 1901. She was living in Enfield with one of the boys. I need to know if Samuel was alive in 1891. To look for the death of someone with the name of Green is a mammoth task in a ten year period, let alone a twenty year one. If I ever remarry it will be to someone with a very unusual surname.lol.

HI Deborah You are a star. How spooky is that. They were living in the road next to my school, though I hasten to add it was long before my time. many thanks Tricia

Patricia, I hate to be beaten!!!! Ruth, Checked Patricias info on 1881, tried Adelaide (no surname) born Chelmsford, there it was! Debbie
