Mel-thanks for your info.
It is possible William moved with his job , but i wonder would a working man move home 4 times in 4 years.
This is my family -William 1838 was my GGgrandfather. All the censuses seem to show Louisa was born in 1869 so probably another family
Dont think Wiliam 1838 father was Joseph Wareham P. More likely to be also William 1841 census St George the Martyr-shows William 1811 with son (William) 3.
Thanks particular 1911. I have 11 children all on various censuses.Still one to find-must have died very young. Also note William 73-I was told he died in 1904.

Why does anyone move?

The usual reasons are work - or family.

Can you tell me if this is your family please as I have just viewed a baptism for a Louisa with parents William and Maria in 1880 and it has a note on it that she was born 1852 9th Nov?? Is it the same family or another William and Maria??

It seems William was a Labourer so I suppose he could have moved about with his job?? The 1861 dos'nt say what kind of Labourer he was.

On a previous posting it was suggested I get birth Cert for William P born 1862. Now have proof above are his parents.
Both William and Maria were born in Islington and spent most of their life in east London before moving to S.E. london c1871.
They married in Epping 1859.. Their first child Annie was born 1860 Chingford .In 1861 they were in Lewisham. Their next child William was born in Hoxton Old Town.1862
If anyone has any idea why they were in Epping/Chingford/Lewisham 1859/60/61 the info. would be appreciated
