Just to duplicate the results. 1871 census male Andersons b 1860-64 Essex, living Essex gives 14 results, all of which show as son apart from Robert who is listed on both of the last 2 searches.

Has been a while but I am back to this now. (Computer gave up on life).

I am looking at what I found last time and noticed on the 1871 a George Anderson born 1864 Shoeburyness, Essex living with his grandmother in Hampshire. Mother is Louisa.

Shoeburyness is part of Southend on Sea, which is also part of Prittlewell.


In the 1881 there is a possible match for this George living Chatham, born Southend 1863:

I have tried to tace BDMs for people and have come up with the idea that Louisas mother, Jane, may be on her 2nd marriage by 1871. There is a Henry Pierson marriage to a Mary Jane Boxall in Petersfield 1863.

England & Wales, FreeBMD Marriage Index: 1837-1983
about Henry Pierson
Name: Henry Pierson
Year of Registration: 1863
Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep

There seems to be no birth record for a Louisa Pierson but there is one for Louisa Boxall in Midhurst

England & Wales, FreeBMD Birth Index: 1837-1983

Any chance that George may in fact be Charles by the 1881? (Edit- That should read 1891)

3 George Andersons born in the right area (Rochford) between 1863-5 but my thinking was wrong. The Piersons are together in 1861 and no daughter Louisa (Edit-checked 1851 and still no Louisa)

Some details for anyone who has cared to read this far (same details on page 2 of this thread)

Looking for Charles George Anderson married Harriet Foster 06/01/1903 at the register office, Epping.

First known child Charles James Anderson b 03/06/1886 Smarts Road, Epping

1891 census shows Charles and Harriet at York Hill, Loughton with Charles born 1864 Bittle nr Chenford (have checked image but think that is what it says)

1901 census shows Charles and Harriet at 2 Albert Road North, Buckhurst Hill with Charles born Prittle 1862.

Last child Edward George born 24/01/1903 2 Albert Road north, Buckhurst Hill.

Both birth certs confirm father Charles George Anderson, labourer. Mother Harriet E Anderson, formerly Foster.

Charles and Harriets marriage cert states Charles father is Charles George Anderson, travelling hawker, deceased. Harriets father is James Foster, Labourer.

1881 shows Harriet living with her family in Russel Row, Chigwell. She is housekeeper to her family.

1871 shows Harriet and family at Farm House, Oak Hall, Epping.

Witnesses on the marriage cert are Samuel Crabb and Thomas Thorogood.

In 1881 Samuel Crabb b North Weald 1856 is a visitor in Russell Row (Where Harriett is living at the time).

All theories welcome.

May give in tomorrow and try to order the 1911 for 2 Albert Road North

On page 7 of trying to find Andersons board there is a lady called Susan Hoar looking for Andersons from same area, she has 2 threads on board. Hope you can help each other.

Thank you. I have just emailed her. I have also emailed someone who has a Phyllis Austin in their tree as I believe that George Edwards elder sister Phyllis may have married a John Austin in 1918.

I can't find anyone else with any of the Anderson names in their tree.

Can you explain, Ann o' GG?

Apparently I posted in this thread at some point -- it has reappeared in my "My threads" -- but I don't know what's up.
