If I say YES, will you find one of mine I am desperately looking for!
Have you checked BMDs to see if there were any other Thomas Gosnells born 1895 4th quarter - or 1896 1st quarter
Can you find Mr. Havers on the Electoral Rolls
Are we expecting/hoping to find Thomas somewhere in 1911, if so have you checked the Brook Street address and/or Havers name?Elaine

if this is my Thomas Elaine I would be more than happy to look for yours , cant imagine me finding anybody you cant ??? you are too good.:p;D
Have been going through the census records they aren't at that address in 1901 or 1911 , its also odd it says parent Havers and not Gosnell ??
and whats more its the right area, do hope its him would make my year.
Off to search electoral rolls now .
Who are you looking for ???

Mine is a real long shot Val - just thought I would run it through the new records to see if anything comes up, but nothing so far!
Violet Edna Ovenell born 23 November 1903 - was in Hackney workhouse - discharged February 1906 into the care of her father Frederick - at which point they both do a disappearing act!
The closeness of that date of birth for your Thomas does look good - I've checked the census records as well and can't see anything that fits. Didn't have much luck searching the electoral rolls - too many Havers and am not sure what district they should be under, would it be Stepney for Ratcliff?Elaine

Well it says Ratcliff Tower Hamlets which is Stepney way. seems strange he wasn't admitted to school till he was 10 ? wonder if something happened to his parents , am so excited if its him .
Not found him and a Mr Havers in 1911 yet ?
Will see what I can find for your Lady but as I said if I do I will be gob smacked .

Don't worry too much about Violet - I've had it on here before and we couldn't find anything then! I just hope that sometime soon new records appear from somewhere and up she pops ... bit like your Thomas (if that's him!)Elaine

Young Thomas didn't stay long - admitted May 1906, left September 1906. Though it looks like Canvey Island I think the previous school may have been Hallsville School, Canning Town which still exists- http://www.hallsville.newham.sch.uk/default.htm
Update - sorry Elaine I was busy reading the Hallsville website when you posted.Last edited by JudithM; 29-02-12, 13:39.Judith passed away in October 2018

Deep breaths Val - don't want you having a funny turn ;) Seriously though - really pleased we've managed to crack a bit of one of your brick walls
Is this the Muller / Miller family? I still can't work out whether the new husband is Ravers or Ravens. Wasn't there a German connection with her first husband?Jackie
