Hi

Please could someone do a couple of 1911 look ups please for my grt grandparents - I have found one couple but can't access the records.

William Edward Butt b 1849 and Emily Rowena Butt b 1846 in City of London. In 1911 they lived in Lewisham. Two addresses could be Devonshire Road, Forest Hill or Woodside Green. S. Norwood

Also Mary Walker b 1840 in Staffordshire. In 1901 she lived in Wolfington Road,Lambeth and she died in 1928 in Woodside Green Road, S. Norwood - so maybe she is at one of these addresses in 1911

I would like to know how long they were married for and children born during the marriage - thanks

Thanks alot

Rosie

thanks Maddie and George. Walker is probably not so easy to find.- Mary's son Gerald could be with her in 1911.

Marys husband died in 1905 so yes she was a widow and did have 4 children - think its the one - cheers

I cant find him in 1881or 1901.

In 1871 he is with john and Mary and siblings in Clapham and in 1991 he is with John and Mary and 3 siblings in The Grove, Camberwell

I cant find marriage record for him either - where are you Gerald!!!

Thanks for all your time - computer kept crashing so had to throw it out the window !!

If Gerald went to Australia that might account for his absence in the uk. He may even have married in Australia - Hilda was born in the uk but maybe moved to Australia - something else to look for now.

Anyway thanks again - here now for a while
