I can't find the family Jan found in 1901. Ok, got it! Same one Helen found. Jane HEAD is actually Jesse and Marice WIFE is Maria. Same family as in 1891 but no George!

Looks like it, hon, sorry, cos George isn't the head of that family in 1891..Jesse is! Haven't seen the actual image (the image MIGHT say George), not sure whether Jess or Jan looked at it Lou Jess Tesco was heaving..lots of teenage boys buying flowers for Mum!

I've just popped in again before going to bed. I really appreciate all your help. I got the 1891 details for George and co from a lady on here who did an 1891 look-up for me. It looks like I have been given the wrong information? She said that George was the head. Please don't tell me I've been researching the wrong family?????

In case anyone's wondering, this is the Ancestry transcription Name Age in 1901 Birthplace Relationship Civil Parish County/Island View Image George Povey 16 Deptford Son St Nicholas London Jane Povey 40 London, England Head St Nicholas London Kellie Povey 10 Deptford Daughter St Nicholas London Lizzie Povey 14 Deptford Daughter St Nicholas London Marice Povey 45 London, England Wife St Nicholas London Address looks like 10 Berthen Street, St Nicholas, Deptford

OK so maybe Jesse age 40 might be who we're looking for, in which case Walter has become George.... Forgot to say they were found in St Nicholas, London. Jesse is down as 'carman at Board of Yorks'! And George has no occupation.

The Bag Report 5 Mar 2005 15:27

Unknown Report 5 Mar 2005 15:23

George is down as Jesse in 1891 as well????? Sam says his name is George in her message??? Off to Tesco I think...might get some inspiration in the cheese aisle!

The Bag Report 5 Mar 2005 15:22

Jan

Jan Report 5 Mar 2005 15:22

There’s this family but the ages are out and if it’s right then George and Jesse are the wrong way round! Jesse 40 George 16 Lizzie 14 Nellie 10 Maria 42 Jan

Zoe and Lou, Thankyou for your replies, I think this might be one of them families who were beamed up to the mother-ship the night of the census. I have spent nearly all day hunched over the computer trying to find them and the only thing I've come up with is eye-strain and a headache! It's bedtime now anyway, Sam. * Jess, yes that's them in 1891.

Zoe Report 5 Mar 2005 15:09

figured out what I'm doing wrong - ancestry now asks for birth year on 1901 rather than age!!! bare with me - I'm getting old
