Could anyone tell me, who lived at 37 Irene Road, Fulham, on the 1911 census?
I'm looking for the surname 'Fowler'.

Any help would be much appreciated!

I'm afraid it is a family called Clarke:-

What connects the name with the address?

Do you have documentation? If so, what is the date?

Hi guys! Sorry for the late response :-/

It's a bit of a complicated one I'm afraid!

37 Irene Road, Fulham, is the address given by my grandfathers, stepfather, on my grandfathers war records. My grandfather lived in the next road, Ackmar Road. I think his stepparents were some kind of foster family. But I'm struggling with all this.

My grandfather was Alan Leeds, I know about his 'real' family, but not about his step family. I know he had two stepsisters called Lily and Gladys Hillier. The step family's name was 'Fowler'.

Hello Elliot - was this WW1 or WW2 records?

Hi Marie! :-)

It was WW2!

So 1939-45....................a long time after 1911

You say the step-sisters were Hillier......so what is the connection with Fowler?

Elliot, I think it's improbable that the family were at the same address in 1911 as they would have been in WW2.

Was a first name given for the stepfather?

Is it possible that your grandfather's mother may have remarried - I think that would be the more usual reason to have a stepfather. Who was Alan's father and when did he die?

Is this by any chance your grandfather?

What was the FULL name of the step-father?

Thanks all!

Reggie: The 'Step sisters' were born with the surname Hillier (Mothers surname was Copson). The document I have, is part of my Grandads war records, it is a Statement of services and is a bit of an enigma in itself, as it is completely blank aside from stating my Grandads next of kin. Originally, it said 'Step father (Something illegible) Fowler, 37 Irene Road, Fulham'. This has been crossed out and replaced with 'Step sister, Miss. L. fowler, 15 Ackmar Road, Fulham'. She was Lily, my dad remembers her as 'Aunt Lil', he also remembers her sister 'Aunt Glad'.

Marie: I can't read the step fathers first name, as it has been crossed out :-(

Both: Yes! That's my grandad! His mum (Matilda May Leeds) did remarry, to a man named Frederick Rogers and they had two sons, Frederick and Philip. I can trace my family back from Matilda May, but what happened with my grandad remains a mystery. He was born in Milton Regis Workhouse, there was no father on his birth cert. The story always was, that his mum 'gave him away' to a family that lived down the road. Grandad died when my dad was 13, so I've had to work pretty hard to find out all the information so far. But I really want to know who took him in and why?

I've been able to piece things together so far, through my dad's memory. But I'm stuck with this. I wish I could see the 1921 census, now! Lol!

How does 'Miss' Fowler fit in with the BMD info?

Perhaps some kind person with Ancestry access will be willing to look at the ER's for 1937/8
