But on the Marriage cert it say father deseased and has Thomas Henry Roberts Occupation Smith but frederick was a smith also? and Walters brother name was Thomas Henry Roberts? and Harriett Strong as witness was Harrietts daughter who married a Walter Evans Strong in 1881tthey were methodist and some suggested that the brother signed that he Walter was of age to marry.

Thanks for all the help it has been most useful I will search the sites you have given me.

For ref, this is the 1841 household.

Name: Jane Roberts
Age: 47
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1794
Gender: Female
Where born: Middlesex, England

Civil Parish: St George Hanover Square
Hundred: Westminster
County/Island: Middlesex
Country: England

Street address: Halkin Cottage (per image)

Registration district: St George Hanover Square
Sub-registration district: Belgrave

Arthur Frayling 1
Carol Frayling 34
Lens Frayling 7
Hammett Maynard 24
Robt Maynard 74 - Head, Independent
Sarah Maynard 70
Amelia Roberts 15
Frederich Roberts 10
Geo Roberts 52
Jane Roberts 47
Jane Roberts 20
Susan Roberts 12
Thomas Roberts 7


There's no Henry in the list, but at age 14 or so he could have been working elsewhere.

By 1851 Susan and Amelia would have been long gone and married, most likely.


I hate to ask the obvious, but do you have the birth certificate?


Name: Walter Samuel Roberts
Year of Registration: 1864
Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep
District: St George Hanover Square
County: London, Middlesex
Volume: 1a
Page: 248

Is the father's name different on the birth cert from the father's name on the marriage cert?

If you have the birth cert, with both parents' names, can you find the marriage at

http://www.freebmd.org.uk

? You can search there by both parties' names, even though the GRO did not match them up at that time.

New message to Heather

From Jean
Hi Heather First I can not thank you enough for the information it is such a great help. Well where do I start I know that they lived in Halkin cottage in 1841 in chelsea. and that there were other Children Amelia & Susan but they are not on the 1851?
I had been trying to trace a Walter Samuel Roberts B: 27th June1864 who is My great Grandfather this is confirmed by family & birth certs. I had been told that his fathers name was Frederick but on Walters marriage cert it said Thomas Henry father deseased this threw a spanner in the works but I can only trace Walter to Frederick & Harriett Roberts. Walter was born in Halkin Cottage Edbury Road Chelsea. I have all the info on Frederick & Harriett and his brothers name was Thomas so I think he signed the register. Thank you for your help Regards Jean

Where is he living in the 1851 with his mum and siblings? This them for ref? Henry is a carpenter and the other two bros are smiths.

It doesnt actually say any of them were born St George Hanover square, only that they are living in that district. Their place of birth are all given as Middlesex, nothing else. Have you got him in later census?
