Find Ancestors

Hi, I have been trying to find the what happened to Cornelius Driscoll (jnr) I have the Birth and Marriage Certificates of his parents Cornelius snr and Ann Coleman Who married in Woolwich in 1880 and have found them all in the 1891 census.

Cornelius snr died in 1895 and it seems the family split up. His sister my gggranny Mary Ann stayed in Woolwich but Cornelius seems to have vanished I have found a couple of men with the same names but places and dates don't match.

Hope this makes sense
thanks

This looks very promising, I knew the family had been split up just could not find him! I will chase this up now

Thankyou

I think that is the wrong family I posted. Do you actually have a birth certificate for Cornelius?

EDIT Here it is. I was wondering if he had a middle name that perhaps he was using. Perhaps he was adopted?

I only have birth certificates for his parents and sister Mary Ann and all were born in Woolwich. and his mother was Ann Coleman.

Sorry getting my Poplars and Pancras's mixed up!

The lad in the 1911 census I posted in the jail was from Poplar so possibly not the one with parents Cornelius and Bridget as posted in the 1901 St Pancras.

He was possibly this one.

a Cornelius was bound over after a burgalry in East Ham. He was 19 in 2010. He was a costermonger.

This looks to be the one sent to prison. Again a coster. It say he was born in poplar
