Charles Hadrill married Mary Ann Green, of full age, in Camberwell in 1876. Her father was said to be Edwin Green, plumber. (Charles' father was also incorrectly named as Charles, instead of William)
From census –
1871 (probably) age 20 born Middlesex Turnham Green
1881 age 30 born Hammersmith
1891 age 39 born London Turnham Green
1901 age 49 born London Turnham Green
1911 age 60 born London Chiswick
I have never been able to find an Edwin Green, plumber, with or without a daughter Mary Ann.
Turnham Green comes into the Chiswick area and the registration district of Brentford. Looking at the images of Brentford births for the period 1849 to 1853, there were only two Mary Ann Green births registered. On the first cert the father was George Green, a labourer, on the second Edward Green, a painter. The date of birth was 14th September, 1850. Address 7 Castle Place Turnham Green
I have been able to trace the Castle Place Greens through the census. The fifth child, Eliza, was born in 1856 and Edward was dead before 1861. An Eliza Green was a witness to Mary Ann’s marriage.
I splashed out on the transcription of Charles and Mary Ann’s 1911 census entry –
Mary Ann Hadrill age 60. In the birthplace column, Charles had written 15 Sept Wife, then crossed this through and put London Chiswick. For himself, he had written 21 Decm then crossed this through and put Langley Burrell, Wiltshire. Unfortunately, no birth registration has been found for Charles, only a baptism, but it would seem to me that his initial incorrect entries in 1911 were intended to be their dates of birth.
As 15th Sept is only one day out from the birth of Mary Ann Green of 7 Castle Place, would you say that the odds against that family being “mine” are now negligible and that I can finally claim her parents for my great great grandparents?
Update - Sorry, I have just learned that I am on chauffeuring duty, so will have to go and attempt to clear what looks like the half inch of ice from my car windows and will then be away from the PC for some time
