I'm looking at this for someone else and would like someone to see if they spot anything I might have missed.
Joseph Henry Condon (as on marriage certificate) marries Emma Hunt Aug 1901 in West Ham. His father is named as Daniel, labourer. Joseph Henry's occ - Hammerman.
In 1901 census Emma is a widow with 2 children in West Ham but she is not the problem! Joseph Henry does not seem to exist before this! I keep stressing his name as the only likely entries I can find all give a name as Henry Condon/Conden and in every case he is either a boarder/ lodger and in 1881 possibly in an orphanage in Hounslow. And in every case the birth place is different.
Joseph Henry's grand daughter, who I'm looking at this for, always knew him as Joe and his death certificate said Joseph Henry. Family lore says that they came from Ireland but we don't know when and that they were probably Catholic. Interestingly the orphanage I found a possible in is for Catholic Paupers.
We already have one wrong birth certificate for a Henry Condon b1873 St George in the East. Can anyone find anything else?
