Hi
I am looking for 1901 census of Bertha Stevens born 1882, Barnet. Should have a child with her named Harry Stevens born c1900 Islington. Her husband was Henry Stevens born c1879.

This is there marriage
Marriages Sep 1899 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eaves Bertha Charlotte Islington 1b 876
Stevens Henry William Islington 1b 876

Her birth i believe
Births Sep 1882 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eaves Bertha Charlotte Barnet 3a 205

I believe she died in 1944 in Islington, but am yet to confirm this.

If possible i would also like her in 1891, hopefully with her parents and siblings.

I have a copy of the 1911 census for her which says she was born Islington?

Thanks for anything you can help me with

hi glitterbaby, that 1901 census for her looks like them although why her husband is Harry instead of Henry im not sure.

the 1891 census im also sure it looks like them i had scribbled on a piece of paper her mothers name was Charlotte but not sure where i found that out from.

I have a few certificates on order so hopefully will be able to confirm these soon.

Would you mind sending me the census images for those 2? If not ill have to wait until i get to the library.

Thanks in advance

Harry and Henry are quite often used for the same person

Gwyn thanks for the info, now im confused though (it dont take a lot nowadays)
According to the Baptism records you posted Henry William Steven was born abt 1904 (on 1911 and 1901 census he was born 1900) and Maude Ethel Stevens is down as born 1902 when she wasnt born until abt 1903 according to 1911 census?? Where im confused is Henry is supposed to be eldest but wuld appear not? and where 1911 census said Maud was born 1903 the baptism is in 1902 before Henrys even???

Glitterbaby, i am on ancestry but my sub ran out about 2 months ago and according to my nasty hubby i have to wait until my birthday for my new sub which isnt until August, however im working on it i do try to go to my library and use theres but because our library limits you to 30 mins on the computer then rudely boots you off and there computers are so slow it takes nearly that to just load up the screen.
Whats the probate calender? Never come across that before i dont think?

GlitterBaby

GlitterBaby Report 24 May 2012 00:31

Sometimes the baptism records give a date of birth in the margin but unfortunately does not for Henry. It really depended on what info the Vicar wanted to put down or what the parents were asked.

England & Wales, National Probate Calendar (Index of Wills and Administrations), 1858-1966

Does not give all the information as you would have to send for the will for the full details

Also on Ancestry as is the possible marriage for her parents that I posted earlier
