Ooooooo,I used to live in Kingsdown Road years ago...The better end,not the rough end of the 109 area..;)

Lol, I've just been through 1871 looking for a Butcher, (with me sandwich), no luck though...

Births Dec 1880 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PESCOTT Henry Martin Islington 1b 345

I will take another "butchers"later...Duties call for a few hours....

Been searching for him on 1891,no luck so far...Wonder if Emma married and he is under her new (poss)surname on it?

Life dont half get in the way sometimes..:)

The Henry on the 1881 census that Maureen posted is aged 6 months on the actual image.

The census was taken on 3 April 1881 but there doesn't seem to be a birth corresponding to his age on the census.

I wonder about this one??

Births Dec 1880

PESCOTT Henry Martin Islington 1b 345

I have already posted that one Rootgatherer and I cannot see him on any census or death so could be him ??

(wondering if this is the Emma on Maureen's 1881 posted earlier, could be a possible for the witness on Henry's marriage?)...just a thought, lol.

Just looking at the Marriage image again, witness Emily's surname does look like Pescott...

Think that 1880 Birth find would be a good buy :-)

anyone else online who may be able to help on this

That birth for a Henry 'Martin' Pescott spurrs me on to what I have been following all morning!

PROBABLY a 'red herring' - I can't connect it but I can't let it go either !!

Perhaps someone else can explore?

I was following the one of the witnesses at Henry's wedding - Emily Prescott.

I came across 2 likely ones in Islington on 1891 but this one caught my eye as she was living in the
same house as a Perry family !

PRESCOTT, Emily Mother Head Widow F 42 1849 Nurse Islington London
PRESCOTT, Emily Daughter Single F 10 1881 Islington London
PRESCOTT, Annie Daughter F 8 1883 Highgate London

NB: Image says PERRY for this family !!! :

PERCY, Emma Wife Married F 37 1854 St Pancras London
PERCY, Walter S Son M 1 1890 Hornsey Middlesex
CLARK, Mary Ann Niece F 17 1874 Islington London

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Same house also has the HUNT family but I have deleted them as probably unconnected.
..............................

I couldn't trace Emily back to 1881 and could find no marriage for an Emily to a Prescott.
............

This is her in 1901
(Name on image says MOSS crossed out on image and replaced by Prescott) !!
She has a visitor called Moss on 1891 so this could well be her maiden name? - Again, no marriage!)

Note - she is now married but was a widow on 1891??
........................

This is the marriage of the Walter Perry living in the same house as her on 1891:

.......................

Sarah Martin is a 'widow' by 1891??
...........................

This may all be a load of nonsense and completely unconnected - If so, I will delete it
to save confusion but in the absence of anything else to follow, I thought someone
might like to help me explore further?

Dea x

i have the marriage cert for henry/annie and it is a deff prescott for emily...you said 1880 birth is that for henry ? and where would i get it

Maybe thats where the Martin as a middle name comes from Dea??

jax

The marriage cert you have can be viewed on ancestry His name was probably mistranscribed you can purchase the cert from

http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/

do you mean i would be able to get his birth and death from there ? exellant, Emma certainly got around

Sorry Jax, I was busy searching when you posted and didn't refressh the page.

On the actual image of the idex it certainly says Pescott and it typewritten. I still think that it is a possibility especially in the absence of anything better!

Dea, I think it is worth leaving that there, at least until something eliminates these people. I am liking the look of George Martin the butcher - especially if the Pescott birth were to turn out to be Prescott!
