Hi,
I figured out that it's Crellin Street,but naturally that one seems to be missing from the 1911. Here's Amelia with her brother:
1911 census transcription details for: 53 Martha St St Georges E

Address: 53 Martha St St Georges E County: London
SMITH, William George Head Married

(I wonder if the niece is Amelia's child?)
Maureen

It could be it has been so hard getting my head round this one JJ kelly born in 1914 is my father in laws dad, but he died 6 weeks after my father in law was born so have no back ground on the family, so would be great to try and track any family if Amelia and James had any other children? i could try and get the birth cert for 1910 amelia but could be a different dad?
sorry meant to say thank you for all this info
edit so could be James child why were things so complicated

For some reason I can't get my head round this. James, leave it to Barbara for now, who seems to be on a roll that I can't get to grips with. My brain has gone AWOL.

Barbara, if you could do a quick summary, i might be able to join in.

Thank you Micheal
is 53 his age because he was (if we have the right one) 21 when he got married in 1917?

I need to give them numbers...


James John Kelly - 1
James John Kelly - 2
James Kelly -3

JK 1 is your father in law born 1935

JK 2 is his father who married Alice 1935 and also died same year.

JK 3 is your father in law's grandad who was deceased by 1935

My question is ... who was 21 when he got married in 1917 ?
If that was JK 3 then we are looking for someone in their 30's max at death, in which case that death cert is wrong one.

Tracy

Tracy Report 20 Apr 2010 00:01

JJk 1 yes my father in law born 1935
JJK 2 born 1914 married 1935(alice rowe) died 1935
JK 3 born? was decd by 1935(as per marriage cert of jjk2 and alice)
jk 3 was 21 when he married Amelia (re maureeninNY findings see previous entry)

Don't worry James, we will get there. I just thought that Barbara had a grasp of it, and I am drawing diagrams all over the place and not getting it right.

Marriages Mar 1912 -------------------------------------------------

Kelly James - Smith St.Geo.East 1c 337
Smith Amelia - Kelly St.Geo.East 1c 337

If this is correct marriage, it was 1912 not 1917 which if he was 21 at time of wedding would make him born 1891

Perhaps someone could find him on 1901 and 1911 censuses to see where he was born and possible parents.

Tracy

Tracy Report 20 Apr 2010 00:27

Yes i believe this to be correct on JJK2 birth cert which i got today it shows this to be his mother and father sorry 1912.
Thank you
the marriage details which maureenNY found show his father as John kelly

So JK 3 (who married in 1912) could be John and not James ?

MaureeninNY

MaureeninNY Report 20 Apr 2010 11:57

I think JK3s father was John.

Oh right... so let me get this straight in my head ...
JK3's father is John.
So he would be JK 4 ?
