  • Why can't I find my Great Uncle

    Can someone help.

    I have problems researching my Great Uncle Joseph Beaver.

    He can be found in 1891 Census and Family Search has his baptism 29 April 1889, Linchmere, Sussex.

    Why cannot I find his birth or death in any of the register indexes.

    He is also cannot be found in 1901 or 1911 census - could he for example have gone abroad.

    Thanks & Regards

    Not having much luck.

    The only thing I have found is J Beaver dying in 1916 WW1. Wife Mary R Beaver remarried to Kountouroudos. She was living in America. On CWGC,

    She is travelling to America in 1920, from FMP. Have no idea if J was Joseph.

      Have you got the marriage of his parents? When were any siblings born?

          The only J Beaver marriage to a Mary R I can find is a John Beaver to a possible Mary R Smith in Sept 1913 Durham.

            The only 1891 census I can find he is born in Haselmere

            there is this birth record:
            Name: Joseph John Beaver
            Registration Year: 1888
            Registration Quarter: Apr-May-Jun
            Registration district: Croydon
            Parishes for this Registration District: View Ecclesiastical Parishes associated with this Registration District
            Inferred County: Surrey
            Volume: 2a
            Page: 256

            His baptism may not be where he was born.

            If these are likely, I can see other records, but not sure if I have the right one.

              Here are the ancestry links that I found:
              1891 census


              baptism


              can see father William and Mother Ellen Matilda, so think this must be the right records.

                ...just found a death that matches this, so ignore.

                  I have found this Joseph and not yours - as he was born in Bagshot

                  If the census is correct who is the 'relative' is Langridge a family name?

                    It seems that the MMN of that child was Perry.

                      BeaverAJ, as we are working in the dark, can you give us a bit more information please? Where was he in 1891 census? What were the names of his parents? What was his father's occupation?
                      I would think Beaver is a name which lends itself to spelling variations, including Beever, Beavoir/Beavois and Beaven/Bevan etc.

                        To save everyone having to complete the same searches before they can even start looking, here is what I have so far:

                        1891 New Town, Horsham, Sussex – RG12/828/29/9
                        William Beaver 28 Mason b Bristol
                        Ellen 27 wife b Eastbourne, Sussex
                        Joseph 2 son b Haselmere (sic), Surrey
                        James Langridge 15 relative General Labourer b Eastbourne, Sussex

                        Baptism at Linchmere, Sussex
                        24 Apr 1889 Joseph s/o William & Ellen Matilda Beaver, Linchmere, Sussex

                        Baptism at St Mark, Marylebone Road, Westminster
                        16 Nov 1893 (born 11 Nov 1893) Henry/Harry (poor writing) s/o William & Ellen Beaver, Stonemason, Rainier St, Notting Hill

                        BEAVER, HENRY mmn LANGRIDGE GRO Ref: 1893 D Quarter MARYLEBONE Vol 1A Page 529
                        BEAVER, EDWARD ALBERT mmn LANGRIDGE GRO Ref: 1896 M Quarter HASTINGS Vol 2B Page 10

                        Henry possibly later becomes Henry James Beaver DoB 5 Nov 1893

                                  Yes, I looked at that and considered it, it is a definite possibility, especially as I cannot see a birth of an Ellen Matilda Langridge.

                                  EDIT - but no, she was Annie Hodgson, not Ellen Matilda.
