I looked at the image on ancestry, and it is very clearly Mayers

Elsie Mayers 6

Again, it is clearly Mayers on the image.


Having said that, these are the only 2 censuses where John Mayers appears


????? This could be his birth registration ...............

The people John was living with at 6, Willway Street (when he got married) were George and Caroline Hellyar (sometimes spelled Hillyar - but not Hollier).

Hi Christina

I was wondering where you got the information from to see who he was living with in 1886?

Thanks

Charlotte

Only from the censuses Charlotte. George and Caroline were living there in 1881 and 1891, so I've assumed they must also have been there in 1886 when John got married.
