I was assured that you kind people don't mind being asked for help even if I can't give back much yet, so can I do so again?
I'm looking for the Gilkes family of Shoreditch in the early censuses, so far to no avail. I'm as sure as I can be without a birth and marriage cert (for John, my 2 x great grandfather), but with censuses, fairly comprehensive IGI entries (for a change) and Pallet's marriage index, that these are the right people and the dates/ages/occupations match up:
Joseph Gilkes born ca 1806 Ratcliff, Middx, d Q1 1873 (Bethnal Green IIRC)
Ann Sophia née Huns, wife, born 1811 Shoreditch, d 1893
Joseph, born 1831
Henry, born 1832
Mary Ann, born 1835, m William Brown 1852
Anna Maria, born 1838
James, born 1840, m Sarah (from later censuses, marriage not yet found)
Emma, born 1842, m George Adams 1862
Thomas, born 1844, m Mary Ann Gill 1870 (d 1903)
John, born 1846, m Ann (BMD) or Hannah (census) (surname poss Mechem acc. to BMD) Dec 1864
Ann Rebecca, born 1850, m Q3 1871
All the children were born in Shoreditch and baptised in St Leonards
It also looks like Joseph, the father, was baptised at the age of 40, some 3 months after John. His parents are listed as Joseph and Mary
Pallets has come up with the marriage for Joseph Gilkes and Ann Sophia Huns at St Georges in the East in 1830 and one for a Joseph Gilkes and Mary Porter in the same church in 1806, presumably the parents of Joseph born 1806.
Two questions:
1. Can anyone find this family in 1841, 1851 or 1861?
2. How do I go about verifying that Joseph and Mary Porter are indeed the parents of Joseph (b 1806)?
Finally, how do I go about discovering who Joseph (m 1806)'s family/parents were (indeed that next generation back on Ann Sophia's side - and others)? Are there many sources online you can point me too? Pallett's baptism index seems to have no Gilkes's at all listed
Thanks again!
