Cough cough...Who found the "Pescott" 1901 lot to set you all on the trail then...?

Polish,polish,pat ,pat..

But well done you other lot.....I suppose.

At least he knew who his father was it would seem...Like my Nan..And did the same as her by juggling the surname of father on marriage cert to be the same as his...

The more I look,the more I think that name really should be Pescott!

Look at all those matching births in Islington!

Births Sep 1883
PESCOTT Annie Martin Islington 1b 411

Maureen

I agree Maureen now you found who was living at that address in 1901

jax

So where is George in 1891?? (or did we find him already?). May have to join Dea on a break!

Maureen

I'd be willing to make a small wager,jax!!! Good find on that one!

Maureen

Sorry - gonna have to take a little break - I am 'brain-dead' here !!

I WILL return !!

Dea Xxx

Martin as a christian name was not too common back in the 1880's so to have it as his middle name indicating that was his father looks good....but could be wrong

jax

Edit well done Dea and Maureen looks like problem solved

YYYYYYeeessssssssssss !!

We ARE on to something here Maureen.

That was indeed Henry's address on marriage cert !!

Still not sure how to connect it all though - I have been going round in circles since 8am this morning !! (tee hee!!)

Dea!!!
I was going to point out this chap (same one????). I think this is the address on the marriage cert????

Sorry Jax, I was busy searching when you posted and didn't refressh the page.

On the actual image of the idex it certainly says Pescott and it typewritten. I still think that it is a possibility especially in the absence of anything better!

Dea, I think it is worth leaving that there, at least until something eliminates these people. I am liking the look of George Martin the butcher - especially if the Pescott birth were to turn out to be Prescott!

do you mean i would be able to get his birth and death from there ? exellant, Emma certainly got around

The marriage cert you have can be viewed on ancestry His name was probably mistranscribed you can purchase the cert from

http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/

Maybe thats where the Martin as a middle name comes from Dea??

jax

i have the marriage cert for henry/annie and it is a deff prescott for emily...you said 1880 birth is that for henry ? and where would i get it

That birth for a Henry 'Martin' Pescott spurrs me on to what I have been following all morning!

PROBABLY a 'red herring' - I can't connect it but I can't let it go either !!

Perhaps someone else can explore?

I was following the one of the witnesses at Henry's wedding - Emily Prescott.

I came across 2 likely ones in Islington on 1891 but this one caught my eye as she was living in the
same house as a Perry family !

PRESCOTT, Emily Mother Head Widow F 42 1849 Nurse Islington London
PRESCOTT, Emily Daughter Single F 10 1881 Islington London
PRESCOTT, Annie Daughter F 8 1883 Highgate London

PERCY, Walter S Son M 1 1890 Hornsey Middlesex
CLARK, Mary Ann Niece F 17 1874 Islington London

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Same house also has the HUNT family but I have deleted them as probably unconnected.
..............................

I couldn't trace Emily back to 1881 and could find no marriage for an Emily to a Prescott.
............

This is her in 1901
(Name on image says MOSS crossed out on image and replaced by Prescott) !!
She has a visitor called Moss on 1891 so this could well be her maiden name? - Again, no marriage!)

Note - she is now married but was a widow on 1891??

This is the marriage of the Walter Perry living in the same house as her on 1891:

.......................

Sarah Martin is a 'widow' by 1891??
...........................

This may all be a load of nonsense and completely unconnected - If so, I will delete it
to save confusion but in the absence of anything else to follow, I thought someone
might like to help me explore further?

Dea x

anyone else online who may be able to help on this

Just looking at the Marriage image again, witness Emily's surname does look like Pescott...

Think that 1880 Birth find would be a good buy :-)

(wondering if this is the Emma on Maureen's 1881 posted earlier, could be a possible for the witness on Henry's marriage?)...just a thought, lol.
