So William Percy G Course (1886) stays in London with his Mother Annie, so needs finding in 1891.
Annie marriages Mr Partridge?
As Harry Partridge is born in 1878, he is not a son of Annie but of Mr Partridge and a previous wife?

Annie's first wedding:
Marriages Sep 1875
COURSE Albert Cambridge 3b 835
TURNER Anne Cambridge 3b 835

so does Annie then marry Mr Herniman and then Mr Partridge (1897)?

If married 34 years, then married in 1876 to 1877, which could be bad arithmetic for her first marriage in Cambridge.

There is another John and Annie on the censuses, but my ancestry has just shut down so will have to stop for now.

as i believe from
1891 England Census
Albert Course Age: 34 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1857 Relation: Head Married Gender: Male Where born: Cambridgeshire, England
correct
Civil parish: Chadwell St Mary Ecclesiastical parish: Chadwell St Mary
County/Island: Essex Country: England
Registration district: Orsett Sub-registration district: Orsett
correct

Albert Course 34 ------ggfather

Ernest Course 14------son
George Course 11------son

harry partridge who died in 1974 bournemouth
father Herniman? (possibly~~) if mr Herniman is in the loop,
he i believe commited suicide in the river Lee

however
Anne aged 2 in 1881 census and
william p born 1886 and his step brother harry partridge
seemed to have stayed together.

i also just put that Alfred died in 1955 and was listed as deceased in 1911. this information is from the marriage cert of my grandfather william p course
in brighton (why is this??)

all very intriguing

gdc

He is not necessarily referring to his Father but to his step-father as being deceased in 1911.

Added:
And/or Annie has told him that his Father is dead, otherwise how could she marry Mr Partridge.

Albert Course 34 ------is my ggfather

someone mentioned anne partridge married to albert course
------anne turner married albert course in cambridge---
g

So is this the George Dixon referred to?

British Army WWI Pension Records 1914-1920

Estimated Birth Year: abt 1885
Age at enlistment: 19
Birth Parish: Hammersmith
Birth County: Middlesex
Document Year: 1904

Father = Albert, wife = Grace Charlotte Manson?

According to the records, Albert was living at 11 Calcutta Road when George enlisted in 1899

Graham, when I'm doing my own research I tend to ignore family lore and put it on the back burner. Once I've established hard facts by finding and verifying records I then use the family stories to put the meat on the bones. Very often there are inconsistencies between what has been told and what is correct. :-)

Albert and Anne's marriage:

Albert Course, "England, Marriages, 1538–1973 "

If the father is ALBERT Course, then who is ALFRED?
(Would someone explain to me in easy words?! - perhaps I shouldn't have had that extra glass last night!)

yes this is him I do know quite a lot about
George Dixon now but cannot find anyone how can
comment on events . His wife is Charlotte Munson
:-)

Albert's birth year is way out on this 1901 but it's definitely the address referred to on his son's service records:

CRIBB, Mary A Head Widow F 55 1846 Newsagent Kingwood, Hampshire
CRIBB, Thomas Son Single M 23 1878 Dock Labourer Sittingbourne, Kent
COURSE, Albert Boarder Single M 58 1843 Dock Labourer Cambridge
ENDLE, George Boarder Single M 60 1841 Dock Labourer Cambridge
BLANCHARD, William Boarder Single M 56 1845 Engineers Labourer Bromley, London

Piece: 1661 Folio: 98 Page: 33
Registration District: Orsett
Civil Parish: Chadwell St Mary

Address: 11, Calcutta Road, Chadwell St Mary, Tilbury County: Essex

So was Anne a bigamist?

Re: the 1901 that Patchem posted above, I do think that's the right one. I've looked at the other John & Anne (and variants) Partridges on the 1901 and the birthplaces just don't fit. The clincher is her mother Anne Turner living with them.

But there is no mention of a Harry born 1878? Harry is very often a nickname for Henry but the lad of that name with the family was born 1888?

EDIT: Is Percy Partridge on the 1901 actually Percy Course recorded under stepfather's name?

If George and William's father is Albert and not Alfred then this must be the correct death?:

England & Wales, Death Index, 1916-2006
Name: Albert E Course
Birth Date: abt 1850
Date of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec 1923
Age at Death: 73
Registration district: Orsett
Inferred County: Essex

Page: 530

Graham - can you give us the details of the death that you have noted for the father of William and George?

This could be birth of John Partridge - if that Eastnor Herefordshire in 1901 is correct place, but age out:
Births Mar 1846
Partridge John Ledbury 26 195

If Annie married as Herniman, have we found that marriage or her in 1891??

I think this is John Partridge and first wife in 1891 (his wife is actually 39)

If John and Emily are together in the 1891 then I don't think the two lads on the 1901 census are his sons.

I'm blowed if I can find Annie and those two boys in 1891.

Found Anne's mother in 1891 with one of her grandsons:

TURNER, Ann Head Widow F 61 1830 Lodging House Keeper St Andrews, London
