The tree owner has

1989
16 OctAge: 89 Death
Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, England

It looks like a close family member but I would say Christopher shold contact them.

I cannot see a death in the name of Aubrey can you LK
There are two census 1901 and 1911 both dock workers RR

Sorry RR but which 1901 census?
I have not posted any about Louisa.

The tree notes were from Thomas Samuel Read.

The tree owner has her mother as Louisa unknown.

If this is your grandmother she married twice born in march and had 10 children. She died 1989.

Lady K looking at that 1901 census has Frederick as butchers assistant aged 28, not 'very' likely he would become a lighterman... in as much as it does tend to be witing families and served apprenticeship from young age....

OK tried different tack


There is a public tree on Ancestry for Thomas Samuel Read married to Louisa Smith and a lovely picture

lol LadyK only bit of me that is, just put heating on!

will read back

Who did she marry and when did she die? Ooops sorry you said who she married

jax

See it was meant to be RR

Your ears were burning?

Does louisa have a middle name?

Any other siblings?

So far we do not know where they were born

just where they lived in 1918.

They could have been anywhere 1911.

It would be too easy to follow the wrong Smith.

Very true LK but on the 1911 he worked on the docks and maybe Lighterman sounded better than porter?

jax

ooh that was funny, I just got an urge to look at this thread and there's my name lol

But Frederick is not a lighter man.

Maybe Rambling Rose can hep?
She has lightermenand watermen records.

Can we get electoral rolls for that adress to check on other family members?

Frederick smith could not write as his mark is on the 1911 census also the marriage cert also has his mark, so looks promising
