Searching for John Hales his wife Mary Ann nee Evans, and 4 of their children.
I have all the information from the 1881 / 1891 census.
My problem is I can find no marriage for John and Mary, she calls herself Maria on the 1881 census and on the 1901 ( if it is her ) she is Ann A Stagg but again no marriage is apparent.
Firstly John Hales known as Jack b Middlesex (according to 1881 c)1850. He was a tinplate worker. John died in 1890 I know this to be true as nan told me he died when she was 2yrs. I have a death c for a John Hales tinplate worker who d in Lambeth Work House Hospital, Lambeth Walk in July 1890 aged 44yrs so this (if its him ) puts him as b 1846ish.
Mary Ann Evans on all the children's b/c she is Mary Ann Hales formerly Evans. Again 1881 c says b Middlesex but on the1891 it says b St Martins Middlesex. On the 1901 c I think its her she's with a A E Stagg and to of her children Frederick and Eliza they are registered as step children.
The children:-John Walter b 22/4/1877 at 1 Short Street Newington Surrey.
Frederick James 17/9/1879 at rural cottage Linford Street Battersea Surrey.
James Joseph b 22/12/1881 at 28 Townsend Street Southwark Surrey
These three boys appear in the 1891 census at Lambeth New School Norwood . James I think appears on the 1901 c as part of crew on the Boscowen at Portland in Dorset, that's the last I can find of any of the boys that I'm sure of.
Caroline Elizabeth b 17/4/1884 at 28 Townsend Street Southwark Surrey.
Emma Eliza b 19/11/1888 at 8 Elsted Street Walworth Surrey.
This was my nan and she was fostered out to a family I think by the name of Dunn. A Nellie Dunn was registered at the same time as my nan and a Albert E Dunn is a witness at her marriage, a family member seemed to think that the Dunn's were related to the Hales in some way.
Lastly Eliza she was b after her father's death and living at 31 Lidford Street Battersea in 1891, She went on to Marry a William Rance.
So who does Mary know in Battersea that live in Linford/ Lidford Street? her second and sixth children being born there are they the same address? What happened to them all but mostly who were John and Mary and where did they come from?
Hope someone can help Regards Willow
