Would any be so kind as to find a John ABBOTT born Lambeth 1871. I need to find who he was living with possibly a widowed mother or sister. I have his marriage certificate 1894 which states his father John was deceased. There is a John William Abbott on the 1881 census but his father is William. He would be living in either Lambeth, Southwark or Walworth. Thank you

I believe it could be him. I have just received a copy of his 1894 marriage certificate I cannot read the address. It could be Huey Street, Flouey Street etc. If his mother remarried that could be the reason I cannot find him on the 1881 census.

Just spent an hour on so on the 1881 census and could not find any of them. Still a mystery.
