Thanks for your replies, I would have replied earlier but with the slow operation of GC earlier on, I ended up beating the pc with a stick! That site is something else! How did I miss that posting? Also I shall look into the Rosa family from 1881 - I did see them before but they looked a bit posh for my family! Happy hunting A

Hello Tips Board, Jack ROSA married May Victoria GAU in Lambeth in 1921. Marriage cert says he was living at no 3 China Square, Lambeth. Age at marriage 35 years, father Marco ROSA - a cork merchant. Tried searching 1901 for Marco and for Jack with no joy - tried ROSE and ROSS as well. Anyone have any other permutations I could try? I suppose maybe they weren't living in UK at the time but thought it was worth a try. Also tried FreeBMD and 1837 online for ROSA BMDs. Tried 1881 just in case. AND I can't find China Square as a current address - does anyone know if it's still there? Living at nos 2 - 6 China Square in 1901 were families Briscoe, McCarthy, Mark Theophilus Bird, Pickett family and England family. If anyone would like details please let me know! Best wishes Ann
