Hello tempest, Thankyou so much for your efforts. Yes indeed, Mr Henry Ticknor did marry my Grandmother Clara Jane Davis in 1909 and they had a daughter, Isabel - who was my late Father's half sister. Additionally, I have to say that Clara Jane then went on to have another daughter Charlotte and subsequently my Father, George William Neal - even though Clara Jane and my paternal Grandfather, Charles Neal were not actually married!
However I am having some trouble identifying the corecct family line of Neals from the Sutton/Carshalton area.
Please can either yourself or anyone else help/
Many, many thanks
Patricia

Thankyou all once again for your help and advice. Needless to say; I am still 'researching' and would most definitely appreciate any further information regarding the Neal/e family from Sutton.
Very many thanks
Patricia

Thankyou so very much Kay for this information. I have so much that I need to 'digest'. Indeed, yes I will endeavour to obtain a copy of my Father's birth certificate as a good starting point., and will keep you updated with my progress. Unfortunately time is a great issue for me as I have enormous responsibilties., but I do have a personal need to delve further. Will be in touch soon.
Very many thanks, Patricia

Thankyou so very much Margaret for your advice., I will certainly act on it and will let you know of my progress.
Kind regards, Patricia.

Hi Patricia

Meg is really right - you do need your father's birth cert to find his mother's name and then hopefully we can relook at earlier records and try to find a marriage for his father if there was one.

The birth cert can be sent for online from the General Record Office and should arrive in about a week and I think now costs £9.50. It wil also confirm his father's occupation and confirm if I found the right family in the census. I can't see the Charles Neal at all in the 1911 census but did find the family I think below in 1901 but you really need to check this is the right family

I did find a possible marriage for Henry Thomas Ticknor and Clara Jane Davis in 1909 Epsom Dec Quarter 2a 47 and the couple appear to be living separatley in 1911. Henry is living with relations as brother in law. I have posted possible details of Clara Jane and Isabella below in 1911. Clara Jane is listed as married two years with one child from the marriage. A Henry T Ticknor aged 33 died in 1913 in Epsom

Good Luck Kay

I repeat again, which advice seems to have been by-passed, that I think you need the birth certificate of your father.

Would you not want it anyway, as part of your records?

Margaret

Thankyou all for your help in trying to find information on my paternal Grandparents. I am such a novice in this field and am so desperate to discover all I can. I would appreciate any further help.

Yes indeed Gwyn, this was my Father's middle and full sister, Charlotte.

Thankyou for this information K. I also determined that my Grandfather was born about 1877.
Additionally my Father's older half sister Isabel's Father's surname was, I believe Tickner; but I have not been able to find a marriage between Charles Neal and my paternal Grandmother. Ironically I cannot also find a birth entry either, therefore do not have her christian name.

I really think you need the birth certificate of your father to confirm his mother's forename and any previous surname.

Charles Burrows married Lilian and is on the 1911 census - Can't see the other couple at the moment

I saw that but didn't want to complicate matters further! Now we're looking for a marriage of a Lilian Davis or Florence Davis to a Hart or Peck, respectively.

Just add to the confusion I did find this!

Surname First name(s) District Vol Page
Marriages Mar 1910 (>99%)
Burrows Charles Croydon 2a 512
Hart Lilian Croydon 2a 512
Neal John Charles T Croydon 2a 512
Peck Florence Croydon 2a 512

As George had an older half-sister, it is quite possible that his mother was married before. Unfortunately that will mean that it will not be Davis on the marriage certificate.

I was wondering about this for his birth. What do you think?
