Hello! I am tyring to find anyone in my Anders line who were quite numerous but seem very hard to find! My Nan is Florence Lloyd (nee Anders, b1914) and her parents were Leah Beadle (nee Harris, b1875) and Frederick Albert Anders (b1878). They lived in Islington and he at one time was a ploiceman. Her siblings were Edna Eileen Anders and Katherine Georgina Anders, step siblings were Hector Beadle, Sophia Georgina Beadle, Elsie Adelaide Beadle and Ida Laura Katherine Beadle. However its Fredericks family who are even more interesting! His father was Henry Anders (b1842) and Mary Ann Eliza Carter (b1846). They lived in Chelsea. He was a reporter/journalist though I dont know who/what with and he was a board member of the original Abbey Road (later Abbey national) building society - I have pictures of him thanks to my Mum asking about it one day when she was working at Abbey National (I dont think she had believed my Nan!) Anyway Henry had quite a number of Anders children: Elga, Helen, Henry, Herbert, Agnes, Amy, Frederick, Leonard, Charles and Beatrice dating from 1869 to about 1885


Cannot see any mention of Polly or any name it could be a nickname for which is normally for the name Mary

Then again there was nothing stopping any of the girls calling themselves Polly if they wanted to

Well I'm flummoxed. Not seeing a single point of commonality, meself!

Your confusing me JC I just got the 1911 census of the lady Frederick Anders got together with does'nt look like they married though. This looks like her husbands death

Just looking for Polly !!!


jax

I'm confusing myself, I fear. I'm too underslept to figure out the connections here, but I'm sure they're there. ;)

The only connection is that Rachel's gt grandparents both married twice, must have been a divorce in there somewhere then?? and we are looking for a Polly aswell....which I cant find

jax

According to William's army records, Rose Julia was born 28/11/1912 and Adelaide was divorced when he married her.

Rose

Well there's a bit of news!

So this is the marriage in question:

Marriages Sep 1898
Anders Frederick Albert Paddington 1a 112
Wilson Adelaide Mary Paddington 1a 112

and the divorce --

Just put

frederick anders divorce

in the quick search box in the upper right. This direct link should work:

And of course the marriage jax posted (I've had some sleep now!) --

Marriages Jun 1915
Anders Frederick A Beadle Islington 1b 983
Beadle Leah Anders Islington 1b 983

which was followed by these births:

Anders Edna E Harris Islington 1b 446

Births Sep 1919

because Leah was previously married:

Marriages Mar 1897
Beadle Robert George Strand 1b 754
Harris Leah Strand 1b 754


Rachel has the three Dismon children in her tree here at GR.

Someone else -- not the person who posted that earlier thread -- has one of them: Dorothy Dismon.

The person who posted that thread and one other person have Florence Anders in their trees.
Someone has an Edna Anders 1917 London, who has to be the same one (there is a Q1 1918 Edna Anders, but in Lancashire).
And three people (one of whom has Edna 1917) have Kathleen Anders 1919 in their trees (again, one says 1916, but it has to be the same one).

Hi guys, I've jus had a quick scan of all this as I'm work and I want to thank you all so much for all the help! I'm going to speak to my Mother later and go through all this info properly.

The divorce info is great as this was something we had no idea how to obtain so that's a real turn out.

Cheers!

Right managed to look over everything and it's all starting to fit into place so I've updated my tree on here.

I have a question about the 1871 Census that Rose found :

1871 England Census
about John E Wilson
Name: John E Wilson
Age: 44
Estimated birth year: abt 1827
Relation: Head
Spouse's name: Mary A Wilson
Gender: Male
Where born: Bristol, Gloucestershire, England
Civil Parish: St Anne Soho
Ecclesiastical parish: St Anne
County/Island: London
Country: England
Registration district: Westminster
Sub-registration district: St Anne Soho
ED, institution, or vessel: 9
Household schedule number: 213
Household Members: Name Age
John E Wilson 44
Mary A Wilson 33
Sarah A Wilson 15
Edward J Wilson 4
George A Wilson 2
Elizabeth Wilson 2 Months

I see there is a Sarah Wilson listed age 15 - would she have been another daughter of John and Mary? Also would there be any ay of locating their marriage so I can look for a maiden name?

Cheers

For the marriage, search at FreeBMD for a marriage

wilson
john e
[no surname]
mary a

around the right time.

You're fortunate to have the middle initials. FreeBMD will match them with any names that start with them, for example (hypothetically), John Edward and Mary Ann.

http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/cgi/search.pl

The only likely one I see is in Alverstoke 1865 -- which would work if John was in the military maybe.

I haven't checked the 1871 to see the various people's places of birth. The place of birth for the eldest child might be a guide to where they might have married.

same census it is Broadstairs in Kent

WILSON, George A Son M 2 1869 Middlesex VIEW
WILSON, Elizabeth Daughter F 0 1871 Middlesex VIEW

Although it says she is 15 that is a big gap between children so maybe she was really 5 ?? also says she is a scholar which was unusual for that age back then

Yeah I though the gap as quite big, so if she was 5 her birth would be in 1868, I'll have a look for a birth.

Also on the John Wilson marriage front I also found that marriage on FreeBMD at Alverstoke - married to a Mary Ann Miller in December 1865. I think I'll have to get Adelaide's birth certificate to clarify.

That would be your best move Rachel to get Adelaides birth cert. Sarah would have been born 1866 which would fit in nicely with that marriage

jax

In 1871, Sarah is definitely shown as 15.

What's interesting is that she and Mary A, mother, are the two born in Broadstairs -- husband John born in Bristol, younger children born in Whitechapel and Soho.

I'd say that Sarah was a daughter of Mary Ann's before the marriage to Wilson. (Or possibly of John's, but it was more common for a woman to bring children to a marriage.)

1861

Name: Mary A Miller
Age: 21
Estimated birth year: abt 1840
Relation: Servant
> Where born: Broadstairs, Kent, England
Civil Parish: Thanet St Peter


Births Jun 1856 ?
MILLER Sarah Ann Thanet 2a 583

hmm that's a interesting theory if she had her before the marriage to John, would she be listed as daughter if the relationship refers to that beteen them and the head of the family?

But would'nt you think she would have been working at 15 Janey? not that I'm doubting your logic

jax

Yes, absolutely. If the husband embraced the child into the household (contrary to what my gr-grfather did with my gr-aunt in the 1890s), the child would be known by his surname and reported as his child in the censuses, and possibly even marry under his surname.

It's just a theory! But it does say 15 very clearly on the 1871 census image, and the spouses were of a bit of an advanced age if they married in 1865, and her place of birth is different from the other children's, and so on.
