Horace Thresher/Thrasher/Atkins is not living with Percy and Louisa in the 1911 census. Percy and Louisa also state they they have no children and that they have lost no children (and that is true of that marriage as the birth and baptism took place before their marriage in 1905). However, there is a baptism for Horace Thresher and a birth register for Horace Thrasher but no death for Horace Thresher/Thrasher and no baptism or birth record for Horace Courtenay and a death for Horace Courtenay in 1959. There is an old family rumour that Horace Courtenay is the illegitimate son of an Earl - are Horace Thrasher/Thresher and Horace Courtenay the same baby? Kensington Register Office has checked their records and there is no trace of Horace Courtenay's birth register and they believe also he is the same baby

Florence Valentine, Benfleet, 1885

We are trying to trace unknown family members whose ancestors:

We are trying to trace Uhthoff/Brookes family members whose ancestors are:
Father - Enrique Uhthoff
Mother - Annie Louisa Uhthoff (maiden name Brookes) born 1878 Bow
Son - Claude Henry Uhthoff born 1897 Kensington
Enrique, Annie Louisa and Claude are living at 133 Finborough Road Kensington where several members of the Jezard family and Thresher family are also living (Mr Brookes is a witness to Ruth Jezard/Ruth Thrasher's/Ruby Court and Albert Edward Court's wedding)

Thank you for your help and we hope that we can find more information about our ancestors and be able to find any living relatives.

Unfortunately I agree with MarieCeleste.
So I am confused.
This is Violet's birth, surely, so you can get her Mother's maiden name??

Notes
¦ludolph Christian was a merchant and the Prussian Consul in Cadiz. Ludolf Christian's mother writes in her account (the Stegmann Account, very loosely translated): Born 19 November 1776 in Bremen. He Gredel (sic)(who is so far not identified) and Andreas contracted smallpox. On 15 April he began religious instruction under Pastor Vogt. In May 1790 masserte er (Note by John Campbell Uhthoff: I cannot translate "masserte er"). He was confirmed on 3 March 1792. On 28 November 1792 he travelled with his uncle G.C. Uhthoff (this would be Georg Konrad Uhthoff) through Paris to Nantes, arriving there on 1 January 1793. He came back, God be thanked, during the most unsettled times, by ship through Hamburg the same year on 12 December. On 27 August 1795 he left here to ship with Captain Leumann to Cadiz - he sailed on 1 September at 12 o'clock noon and arrived on 8 October (1795) in good health and without having become seasick. For two years he (Ludolph?) had served the enterprise of Messrs Siling, Uhthoff, Linau & Company and had made himself so well liked that on the death of G.C. Uhthoff the partners made our son a fourth partner. In August 1800 our son had the epidemic sickness (smallpox, I assume). He had this murderous fever for seven days. He is, thank God, completely restored to health. This epidemic began in August and ended in November. On the 12th they held thanksgiving with a procession and the singing of a Tedeum. More than 10,000 people died in Cadiz alone.

Thanks

Added:
OK, going as Edward not Albert;
Marriages Sep 1900
COURT Edward Albert Fulham 1a 536

Which records have her as Ruby Ruth?

Have you looked to see who else has any of these people in their trees on here?

Lorraine,
As your stated aim was to find the father of Horace Courtenay and as Reggie has shown he is illegitimate, could you confirm that this is now sorted.
Could you also confirm that you have tried to contact all members of genes who have common ancestors to those you are looking for, so that we do not spend time on information you already have?
Thank-you
