Thread: Family Mystery

Ixion · 10-09-2008, 06:19 PM

William Edward Green changed his name on marriage to William Edwin Green in 1892. Had son (Horace Edwin) in 1893. 1901 census shows his wife Edith Alexandra Tunbridge living with a William Edwin Powell at Kings Head Pub, Blackstock Rd, Walthamstow. Did William change his name again or did they divorce? NB. I understand there is no sign of Horace Edwin living with William Edwin Powell and Edith on the 1901 census. We also know that Horace formally changed his surname to Powell when he married in the 1920's. Also, if they did separate, where were William Edwin & Horace Edwin Green in 1901?

Looks like Horace is with his uncle - 1901 London Poplar
William A Tunbridge head married 63 working own account baker b London Limehouse
Lilian M daughter 21 b London Poplar
Horace E nephew 8 b Surrey Walworth
Sidney A Tunbridge son 26 seaman b London Poplar
plus a domestic servant and 2 servants (bakers)

Here is the answer I think - 1891 Census London Christchurch
Charles Powell 59 bricklayer b London Newington
Mary A Powell 64 b London Limehouse
William E Green 30 stepson bricklayer b London Lambeth
Charles J R Powell 22 engravers assistant b London Bermondsey

Hi - I see you have this on another similar thread - best to stick to that to avoid confusion

Hi Gillian,
Astonishing revelation (just as the one about Horace's father on the other thread) but I guess in this case it could be a simple case of 'just visiting'...
Many Thanks
