Will see how many years he lives there

I know that I've asked for help before on this one but was hoping that someone may have some new ideas as to where I can search. I've been looking for the past 2 years and it's driving me nuts!
I know that a couple of his sons ended up living in Croydon, their names were George and Edward (Edwin)
Any new ideas welcome!!! Many thanks!

Many thanks for that. From the marriage certificate it seems that his father's name was also John (Jean). We know nothing about him only that he was a gentleman's servant. We really are stuck as we don't know where he was born and can't find any trace of him on any census. We'll certainly try some of the sites you've suggested.

With a name like Jacques, I'm guessing his name wasn't originally John. Jean seems much more likely. If you've got his marr cert, you'll know his dad, and can confirm or refute this is him on the 1852 census at:

One can also search the 1851/2 at the LDS site:

This site also has the (unindexed) Drouin records, so you could check the images for his baptism, if this is the right guy.

St-Joseph-de-Beauce is abt 60km SE of Quebec City, on the Riviere Chaudiere, just past the turn off to Thetford Mines.

Hi Susan, that's the marriage. I know that Caroline died in 1878. They had 4 children. Caroline (1865-1870), William Henry (1866), George (1870-1952) and my great grandfather Edwin (1874-1947). Edwin was usually known as Edward.

This looks like his marriage

The Marylebone one looks promising. Think I'll have to invest in a certificate!

possible?

There were quite a large number of Jacques (Jaques) living in the Nottingham, Derbyshire area and so far we haven't found any connection to them. I'd be suprised if he moved from the London area but anything's possible as I'm finding out!

This is another possible but I would have thought he would have been in the 1901 census if it was.

I think this is him in 1881 he is already a widower.
Note the dif in spelling his name

I've tried several other spellings including Jaques and Jakes. Also looked into the iron foundry business at the time and it was flourishing in the area. Often there were small foundries attached to ironmongers shops so I think he was still in the area, maybe not Battersea but probably London.

Hi Barbara
Thanks but I know that's not the right one. John was widowed in about 1875 and the 1891 census shows his married status as still being a widower.

I'm trying to find the death reg. of my great great grandfather. His name was John Jacques and he was born in Lower Canadain c1836. He moved to the UK sometime before 1860 and I have found his marriage to Caroline Lewis. I have also found him on the 1891 census living in Battersea, London. After that I can't track him down. Any help appreciated.
