Hello,there have been so many different spellings of the surname BALCOMBE.

There is the birth of a Stephen S Baukwine in West Ham in 1874, can he be found on the 1881 census?

Any help appreciated...........MFM

That spelling is no trace on 1881,91,01 and 11 census.

Have you looked at a copy of the original entry to check the spelling for yourself? You should be able to via FreeBMD.

Free BMD Sep 1837 to Dec 1950. Stephen Samuel Baukwine is the only entry for this name. I Googled it and found two references. If you aren't the Tim who posted a query, you need to go to this link.

Why not get the birth cert you have found and try tracing the parents.

It could be that the mother re-married and changed Stephen's name.

So rule him out

In 1911 they are living in 32 Toronto rd Tilbury,Essex.

Not thinking straight this morning,he did not marry until 1909 Orsett,

MFM

Glitter Baby


1911 says born 1876 Canning Town
Occupation of ships fireman

Could mean he is missing from 1901 becuase of his occupation

ManfromMars

Do you think that is probably the reason Glitter baby?.

Maybe one day someone will stumble over him in another census,

Thanks for looking MFM

When I put Steven Balcombe into advanced search 7 of your threads appear, yes 7,
I take in number 8 was deleted last night ?

You have been given the best advice, buy the marriage certificate first and then based on that try for a birth cert,
