Hello All

I wonder if William could have died in the Second Boar War this was 1898- 1900 I think.

William's parents were still alive in 1911

Maybe if you find where they are buried you may find William? Or you could trace forward from some of his siblings to see if there is any word of mouth info. on William's death?

HOUSEHOLD ROSE MARY ANN F 1844 67 Lewisham London
HOUSEHOLD ROSE ADELAIDE F 1906 5 Lewisham London
HOUSEHOLD ROSE EDWARD M 1834 77 Lewisham London

Thank you all, you have been busy

I have just checked the age for William on the banns it looks as though he was 28 not 23 when he married this would make him 10 years older than Ada and his birth year about 1870
William was a carpenter as was his Dad, I think he may had died abroad in a conflict that could be the only answer as to way he can't be located
I know about Ada as she is Ma-in-laws great Gran Its William that is causing the problem.


Hope this new info may help Thank you all again
kind regards Poppie

Just in passing, looks like Ada re-married, unsurprisingly:

Marriages Sep 1901 (>99%)
Faulkner Elizabeth Southwark 1d 279
Goater Henry William Southwark 1d 279
Lewis Henry Southwark 1d 279
Rose Ada Mary L Southwark 1d 279

Trawling the 1881 census - there are a couple of Williams living with grandparents, one as nephew, one as son of an Edward, Engineer and one the son of aa Edward, general dealer but no Edwards that are Carpenters!!

Well, we have both come up with something vaguely military! Maybe an idea to think if he was killed serving abroad?
Would really like his occupation from the marriage cert though.

Sorry Jan, I think that it is me misleading you!! I read that at first that they had a son called Edward - must still be half asleep or was up too early!!!

rootgatherer

Do you have the son's birth? I don't see one in Camberwell?

I thought Edward is William's father and a carpenter? Not sure what I'm seeing now though!
Come back Poppie!

rootgatherer Report 3 Mar 2010 08:46

Sorry, I was reading it wrong! So William is the carpenter not son Edward? I am not seeing young Edward on the 1901 census, are you Jan?

brummiejan

brummiejan Report 3 Mar 2010 08:41

Do you have William's occupation? There is a very strangely organised Ancestry entry which seems to be a military one. This William Rose is a private. Though Edward has matched as father this is not relevant to the entry.:

Name: William Spratt
[William Rose]
Father: Edward
Birth: abt 1874 - Waterloo, London, England
Residence: 1891 - Kingston, Kingston On Thames, Surrey, England

Have you looked on Freebmd for his death?

I am not seeing any around the correct age and area. Are you sure he died then? What was hisoccupation on the marriage certificate and what was his father's name and occupation please?
