My great grandfather JAMES HATCH, born about 1863/64, probably Islington but maybe not. I have him in the 1891 Census living with his wife Mary Ann (Henderson) in Norman Road, Islington. I have a copy of their marriage certificate and I know I have correct one in 1891. I can find no trace in 1881 and in 1871 there is a James Hatch aged 7 as a "visitor" at Litchfield (?sp) Terrace, Islington but no parents around. I have been carefully eliminating all the James Hatch's I can that were born around that time by tracing them through the census and if in 1891 then I know they can't be my James as I have him already with his wife. My great grandfather James's father was also names James (from his marriage cert but shown as dec'd) - I have found a father and son both named Joseph James (b 1863 Islington Apr-Jun 1b 242, 1863: address 4 Wellington Road and born 1832) but would they both have dropped the Joseph and just be called James (even on death certs)??
ANY help or suggestions would be most welcomed, have been trying for a few years with this, expanded my tree in all directions for all other lines but can't get on with my own maiden line!
Grateful thanks
