Find Ancestors

Just to add, the Albert I found is Albert Victor. He is on an Ancestry tree, and died 1972.
Doesn't look overly likely does it?

Well, the Albert above might be yours so I'll leave him there! Looking at census image is place of employment is 'railway ---?' so not the Cumberland hotel- a shame as that would clinch it!
Louise in 1911 is indeed a hotel chambermaid.
Maybe it might be an idea to check out distances for their addresses both from each other and from the Hotel you mention on Google Map? People generally didn't work too far from home back then so might offer a clue - or not!

No marriage given for that Albert who died in 1915 and as he died in 1915, he wouldn't be noted as deceased on a birth certificate issued in 1914. I would doubt that he is "your" Albert.

Thanks Kath and brummijan.Was aware Mary Grant had private means. Strange re Albert as a hotel porter in 1911,as Louise Grant was listed as a hotel chambermaid, and I remember my mother telling me that Nan had worked in The Cumberland Hotel .On Mauds birth certificate, Oct 1914, parents were Louise Woodcraft[ formerly Grant] and Abert Woodcraft deceased, and I have found an Albert Woodcraft that was killed in 1915 in the war.I have always had a suspician that maybe Nan wasnt married at all. She died in 1947 in Hackney where she had lived with us for a while.Registered as Louise Celia Grant.
Just hope that someone else was related to someone in my searches that sees these notes.Cant seem to get any further with searching at the moment.
Cheers for the help Daphne

I can't see a marriage. Have you found Albert 1911? Maybe he was already married?
Jan

The occupation on the 1911 census for Mary Grant should read "Private Means".

Kath. x

Louise Grant born aprox 1883/4; Ellen Grant born 1906 in Chelsea; Louise obviously not married as they were living with her mother , Mary Grant in 1911 census. May have married Albert Woodcraft as Maud born in 1914,[ my mother] was given Woodcraft as her name.Thanks for any information if anyone has any
