    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.
    Ah, boo, didn't have time to follow through!

          I can't find a Ellen Matilda Langridge in Eastbourne, was wondering if her first name was correct. Although in census and baptism as Ellen

          I can find an Edith Mary Weller and an Emily.

          family seem to be missing everywhere!

            [corrected!] Edward Albert appears to become Albert Edward, and his military papers (under 496540) say he was born Hastings, Kent (!)

            There is a marriage at Pitsmoor, Sheffield 12 Dec 1916
            Albert Edward Beaver 21 Bachelor Miller 9 Westow Place. Father William Beaver (deceased) Mason

                  no idea why I am still up....there are a lot of beavers in Yorkshire, so maybe completely wrong anyway!

                  I wonder if they never married, but and then did wonder if maybe he wasn't even a Beaver

                      No, he was Henry James, as per my earlier post. He died 1973, Sheffield

                        He was baptised in 1889, per post #12.

                        Ive checked all of the births for the RDs that would cover Haslemere & Linchmere, and can't find anything even remotely similar.

                          I've just had a look in the Sussex baptisms and there is a note by the baptism that says they are vagrants, they were living on Hammer Common. (SFHG)

                            Just a thought - I looked at the 1891 census and although it looks like Eastbourne, given that they've mis-spelled Haslemere, I wonder if Ellen was born in Easebourne (near Midhurst)?

                              I was referring to Josephs parents marriage, I don't think it has been found.

                                no date of birth?

                                I assume if living like that you can still avoid birth registration

                                  No DOB - I guess a travelling mason/labourer could miss it out quite easily.

                                      I was wondering why there wasn't a William , so all other children registered, but maybe in a strange place didn't bother.

                                        There's an interesting article in the Hampshire Telegraph 18 July 1924, bearing in mind that Henry became Henry James

                                        Henry James Beaver, gipsy, of no fixed abode, was charged with stealing two silver teapots [etc etc] the property of Ellen Beaver at Titchfield on June 26. The prosecutrix stated that she was a widow now resident at Alton. The accused was her son, and she valued the property at £7s 10d.

                                        The article goes on to say that the trouble had started because he married a girl who was not his mother's choice. His mother got her living as a fruit picker. Unfortunately there are no ages mentioned.

                                          I think the father was actually born Henry William Beaver, son of Silas & Lavinia. The family is in Horsham in 1881, although William's PoB is given as Swindon

                                          His birth registration has been wrongly recorded at the GRO, but this is it:

                                          And one of his siblings, just to confirm the mmn
