in 1911 a Glover family is living at 25 Ancill, Fulham - for what that might be worth!

There is no Harris-Sherringham marriage, so we don't even know that grfather's surname was Harris .........

An Annie Sherringham may have married a George Kerwood *Morris* in 1897!

Not a lot of Annie Sherringhams around, at least.

The 1901 census has its own website.

The 1911 census has its own website.

You need to find your grandfather on both of those if possible.

With a bit of luck he will be with his parents on the 1901 which will give you an idea of their ages, his father's occupation, the age of the eldest sibling etc.

When you have found that info and if you are still stuck - come back and ask again.

Yes, that's the marriage I suggested.

Since we still don't know which century is in issue, I'd be waiting for some sign of life from Edward! His grandfather's name and correct birthdate would be marvellously useful.

We know Cynthia will do her rounds eventually! ;)

So Edward. Are you going to answer the questions?

When was your grandfather really born?
What was his name?

For starters.

Nobody can find a marriage to match those names, Edward, so it seems either they weren't married or Annie had been married before and the marriage is under a different surname.

The 1901 census that Glitter Baby posted up at the top does seem to be your people.

George Harris 43
Annie Harris 39
Phoebe Harris 20
George W Harris 18
James Harris 10
> Frederick Harris 8 - born Fulham

The parents are:

Name: George Harris
Age: 43
Estimated birth year: abt 1858
Relation: Head
Spouse's name: Annie
Gender: Male
Where born: Chelsea, London, England

Name: Annie Harris
Age: 39
Estimated birth year: abt 1862
Relation: Wife
Spouse's name: George
Gender: Female
Where born: Pimlico, London, England

This is the family in 1891 in Fulham:

George Harris 36
Annie Harris 26
Phoebe A Harris 10
George Harris 8
Annie Harris 4
Phoebe Brever 40 - boarder

-- Annie looks a little younger. She is probably not George's first wife.

I'm not seeing George in 1881 offhand ...


Here we go.

Phoebe "Brever" in 1891 is really Phoebe Driver. And so here is George in 1881:

Name: George Driver
Age: 23
Estimated birth year: abt 1858
Relation: Boarder
Gender: Male
Where born: Fulham, Middlesex, England
Civil parish: St George Martyr

-- I mean, it's a theory!

This looks to be daughter Phoebe's birth

Births Mar 1881
Harris Phoebe Ann Wandsworth 1d 651

The census reports her as born in Battersea, which is in Wandsworth district. I think I might get that certificate to see what the parents' names are.
