Find Ancestors

I have Henry KING on 1911 census (b 1860 Ponders End, Middx) and 1901 census (b 1857 Ponders End, Middx) and living in West Ham area with family. I also think I have him on 1891 census as a boarder with the Tisdale family in Edmonton.

However, can find no firm census record of him before this, but I do have his marriage to Alice Woodfield in 1891. I wonder if anyone can see him on any other earlier census records please?

Thanks Lindsey, that looks like a possibility. I had no real idea of where Ponders End was, so its always great that someone on here knows the surrounding area to give you a nudge in the right direction.... I now know to keep an eye out for Enfield too. Thanks again.

I know he ended up in West Ham by 1901 census and he was a General Labourer so this looks a possibility, although his age is a couple of years out (but could the labourers really count that well back then?!). I did find a Henry King as a lodger in 1881 census in Wanstead, Essex, but not sure if that is the same area?

Hi , Just to clear up where Ponders End Nl From Edmonton Going North on the Great Cambridge waytowards St Albans.... Enfield is to your Left..To your Right going towards Epping Forest and the River Lee is P/End. Good luck with your search.

Thanks Cockneykid, i can plot it all on my map now!
