Toni -

You said that John Johnson "may have had siblings Hettie, Sussie, Charles and Harry"

Where did that info come from?
Do you know anything about them?

Name Henry Lammas
Gender Male
Record Type Marriage

Marriage Place Saint James The Great, Bethnal Green: Bethnal Green Road, Tower Hamlets, England
Father James Lammas
Spouse Ann Ferry

This has me a little confused.
I have Ann married to William, so do I have this wrong or is the Ann Ferry
or is she the mother of Ann who married William?
I've added that part of my tree for you to take a look.

AG
The only information I have on Hettie, Sussie, Charles and Harry are a hand written note by my late father in law.

Thank you
Toni

To recap -
Ann Ferry is the mother of Alice May Lammas who married John Johnson - and of Ann who married William Benn.

Alice May Lammas

I don't see her actual birth record.

Looking at the 1891 census posted by ErikaH at 13:03 -

LAMAS, HENRY JOSEPH mmn FERRY
GRO Reference: 1869 S Quarter in SHOREDITCH Volume 01C Page 171

LAMMAS, ANN REBECCA mmn FERRY
GRO Reference: 1878 D Quarter in WHITECHAPEL Volume 01C Page 344

Can't see Benjamin's birth.
He was born 8/5/1867, according to his baptism - but not baptised until 1908, as Benjamin Charles Lammas.
However, censuses and school records have him born 1865.
Obviously born before Henry & Ann's marriage.

Benjamin, Henry, and Alice all at school in 1881:

The info abou Henry which toni has posted is duplicate of my post at 11.42

She has not taken note of the info about Alice’s father on her baptism and marriage record.

The ‘school’ info is in my post at 13.16. They were placed there for a period of time as the morther was in the infirmary

At other times they (and probably the mother) were in the workhouse (record for Alice posted earlier)

This is loosely connected with OP’s Broome post on FA

It is confusing, though, because the daughter Ann Rebecca Lammas's marriage cert says her father was Charles Lammas, a gun maker:

Annie Rebecca Lammas
in the London, England, Church of England Marriages and Banns, 1754-1938
Name Annie Rebecca Lammas
Gender Female
Marriage Age 21
Record Type Marriage
Birth Date abt 1876
Marriage Date 1 Aug 1897
Marriage Place Saint Mark, Victoria Park: Cadogan Terrace, Tower Hamlets, England
Father Charles Lammas
Spouse William Daniel Benn
Register Type Parish Register

Nowhere on any census on FMP is there a record of a Charles Lammas, gun maker

It must be a mistake by V E Seagrove, who wrote it in the parish record.

Or maybe Annie didn't remember or know her father's name, if he died when she was a baby.
Henry Bland Lammas apparently died at some point between 1877 and 1891, as her mother Ann(ie) said she was a widow in 1891.
The workhouse record for Ann in 1881 states that she was married, so Henry may or may not have been alive at that time.

As for the occupation - in 1871 Henry was a dock labourer.

Thank you for all the research you have managed to do for me. I really appreciate it all.
Thank you all once again.
Toni

Always glad to help.

Have you updated your tree to include Alice's CORRECT father?
