It seems likely it's your Alexander- plus no middle name on death.

Deaths Jun 1871
Miller Alexander 31 Lambeth 1d 295
---------------------------

Also can't see another Alexander that fits with father William, a carpenter.

Thank you very mush everyone for all the added information.

George Sims died in 1883........Mary C Sims died in 1899.

Could any of you please give your opinion on Alexander Henry Miller's marriage to Selina Hook.

It does seem a bit too much of a coincidence to me.

Father......Deceased......Occ: Carpenter..........well that fits.

Place and year of birth.......well that fits.

Living before his marriage in 1861 Lambeth........Living there after his marriage in 1871.

He named his daughter Eliza..........his mother was Eliza.

What do you think?

Any chance on that William Milner/Miller Eliz. Porter Marriage, bit annoying that, to say the least!)

Chris :)

Morning Safc and Austin

One of my missions today was to find out what happened to Sarah's husband George Sims.

I am thrilled that you have both worked that one out for me already.

It seems the only children George and Sarah had together were the two that sadly died.

Thank you both. x

That looks good Safc.

Sarah died in 1867 Bostock Street.

George remarried in 1868 to Mary Porter.

In 1881 George was still in Bostock Street- occupation matching the 1861 census:
