Hi
I am currently researching Alfred Cross born c 1893, (I think) in Poplar. He is my husbands grandfather. He married Amelia Victoria Lawrence (Laurence) on 25/12/1915 at St Thomas Church, Stepney London and I have a copy of the marriage certificate. On that certificate:
a) His father's name is given as Edward and is a Bookmaker.
b) I cannot read the residence at the time of the marriage - can anyone help?
Alfred dies in September 1928 and again I have a copy of the death certificate.
I have found census records for what I think is the family going back several decades.
1911 http://interactive.ancestry.co.uk/23...l=ReturnRecord
1901 http://interactive.ancestry.co.uk/78...l=ReturnRecord
I have now been thrown into turmoil because the fact that he says his father's name is Edward on his marriage certificate. Do you think this is an error or have I been tracking totally the wrong family with a father name of Henry/Harry.
So far I have found no records relating to Edward and Alfred but maybe I am not seeing them.
My husband's mother has always said that her father (Alfred) was a lighterman.
What does anyone else think?
Thank you
