Can someone find him in 1901 please?

George LEVENS b. 1866, he was living in Fulham, Middlesex when he married Emma Elizabeth Dingley.

His occupation was a labourer. Father's name Edward Levens, coachman. He was a widower when he married Emma.

I have found a previous marriage for him in 1894 , & a Jane Levens died in 1895, followed by possibly their son George in 1896.

Try as I might I cannot find him after the 1881 census:

RG11; Piece: 115; Folio: 37; Page: 68; Line: ; GSU roll: 1341026.

In 1901 Emma Levens is living alone with their son Henry William mistranscribed as Lucus !:

RG13; Piece: 68; Folio: 58; Page: 55.

Can anyone please find George in 1891 & 1901 for me?

Thanks

I don't know if you are interested in any other Levens (seeing as I can't see your bloke!), but there was an F G Levens (Pte 6152) "dangerously ill" in SA in the Boer War, reported in The Times 7th Nov 1900.

Also a George Levens aged 13 in 1888 who stole 2s6d from a shop in the Hornsey Road and was given 12 strokes with a birch rod (that made The Times as well!)

Oooo Merry !

They're not mine, their OH's, lol!!!

Mine were far too good to be criminals, :D

Hornsey sounds the right area too! Um can I still access the Times?

;)

Um........*gets out crystal ball*

Can't be him, that one died of dysentry in 1900 !


Come on Merry, you can find him ! lol

:D

[Merry Monty Montgomery]

Tried findmypast too and TNA 1901.....variations on Levens and Sevens. Nothing that isn't someone else!

[Joan of Archives]

I have found it transcribed as Lucus, Livens, Lebens etc

I don't suppose that helps! lol !

One of the marriage witnesses in 1898 was a Catherine Levens, but the only one I could find was possibly his mother, who died 12 years before!

[Merry Monty Montgomery]

I wonder who this is?

Marriages Mar 1906
August Ellen Elizabeth Fulham 1a 526
LEVENS Catherine Fulham 1a 526 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Redford Samuel William Fulham 1a 526
Symes John Frederick Fulham 1a 526

[Merry Monty Montgomery]

Is she's the one who was born end 1881 St Geo Han Sq, - same place Mrs L died a few years later, could she be George's sister?

[Merry Monty Montgomery]

They were in St Geo Han Sq in 1881! Catherine snr must have been pregnant then!

[Joan of Archives]

That's possible Merry.

Can you find her in 1891 ? lol

:D

[Merry Monty Montgomery]

Since when is Highgate in Somerset???

Just investigating something.................

[Merry Monty Montgomery]

Right........

In 1891 Mary Carmichael is a widow, b Somerset, living with two sons, one Alfred, b 1884 St Geo Han Sq.

RG12; Piece: 78; Folio 209; Page 71;

In 1896 she marries Edward Leven:

Marriages Mar 1896
Carmichael Mary Ann Lambeth 1d 478 <<<<<<<<<<<<
CHINERY Annie Lambeth 1d 478
Levens Edward Lambeth 1d 478 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Spencer Ernest Lambeth 1d 478

and in 1901 Edward thinks he's from Somerset and Mary thinks she's from St Geo Han Sq! Her son, Alfred is now Alfred C (for Carmichael?) Levens.

RG13; Piece: 88; Folio: 12; Page: 15

I realise this doesn't find the other Levens, but we are closing in on them! lol

[Merry Monty Montgomery]

Drat, I've just gone through all the Cat* and Kat* entries in Middlesex in 1891 with father Edward, only to find Katie Levens aged 9, living with her brothers and sister but no father, and no George! lol

RG12; Piece: 52; Folio 70; Page 23

[Joan of Archives]

Katie must be the Catherine on the marriage cert then!

Seems like Edward senior may have abandoned the kids then when he married his 2nd wife!

The plot thickens! :D

[Merry Monty Montgomery]

Looks like he was still a widower in 1891 Joan! But I agree that he seems to have abandoned his children!! I should think it's unlikely he and George are together, except that neither of them want to be found.

I should think there's some chance George was in the army in 1901 even if he isn't listed in The Times.......(as you have found his wife and son without him)
