Are they in Pancras? Because that is so close to where they were living when Winifred was born.

T.J.

This is sounding very hopeful, Sue....prehaps that is why I was having so much trouble.

T.J.

I have to laugh at my spelling, I am getting to excited, lol.

This is the Julia I found from before (on the 1891 census) appearing in 1901:

17 Emma Street, Bethnal Green

George Bassett 43 Lastie (?) Boot Trade
Julia Bassett 42 Fancy Box Maker Paper
Julia Bassett 21 Fancy Box Maker Paper
Phobe Bassett 19 Fancy Box Maker Paper
George Bassett 17 Nailer (Fur?) Trade
Louisa Bassett 10
May Bassett 8
(Amy?) Bassett 5
Archibald Bassett 3
Albert Bassett 7 weeks

All born Bethnal Green except the father who is born in Portsmouth South sea, Hants

If they ought to be together he is John Henry Harrison and is 32 born London and is living in St Pancras. His occupation is not known so it makes me think he wasn't at home.
The Julia Harrison in St Pancras is 33 and is born in Somerset (some place down as Pendomer.......not sure where that is)

Sue

Think we may have to discount the Julia I found. Assuming the one on the census is Julia James Bassett, she married Alfred John Southon or Albert William Greenslade in 1908.

Back to the drawing board . . .

Thanks Kate, I will have to research these Bassetts...I don't know how I missed them when I've been searching before. Tired eyes, maybe.

T.J.

Sue, this sounds another good possibility, because of the St.Pancras and a John & Julia Harrison....Somerset would is a surprise.

T.J.

We need someone with Ancestry to look and see if Julia is married or single.

I only have the sneaky free 1901 decoder which doesn't allow full access.

Sue

Sue, I have Ancestry, lol. Will have a look, couldn't find them before, but may have missed that were on seperate pages.

T.J.

That Julia from Cornwall is married to Frederick Harrison, aged 34, a police constable, born in East Coker, Somerset.
Looks like they have two sons - Archibald, aged 10, and Frederick aged 6.

There is a Julia M. Bassett in 1891 in Wandsworth

Sue

It says Julia's husband is Frederick, so not her.

That Julia is married to Frederick also born Somerset.

Christine

Pity

I like researching Somerset LOL

How does the Wandworth 1891 Julia M Bassett appeal? She's 22

Sue

Could be, other side of the Thames but not that far.

T.J.

Wonder if she is Julia Mary Bassett?

born Jun qtr 1868 Bermondsey reg district, vol 1d pg 125

Another one, that is the other side, but not far, Kate.

Um

Interesting..........think I may have found a marriage for a John Henry

Could your Julia be a second wife? Or could they perhaps not actually have been married?

Sue

Sue, Kate....Where would you go from here? It is looking like they were not yet married in 1901. I haven't found a marriage in the 5 years previous, well I haven't been able to find a marriage for these two.
