Missing on census any ideas please

[Guest]

following on from yesterday when I finally got a marriage cert
Its for May 1902 in Stepney Mile End
I am trying to find the Bride in either 1881 or 1891
name Esther Bruce according to the cert aged 28 so born in about 1874
Fathers name Henry a Gas Worker
Witnesses no real clue a G Waight and a E Holloway
address of Bride and Groom 43 Globe Road which I think was in Stepney
according to the 1901 census the Groom Alexander Miller is down as married ????? which could just be a mistake.

Can't find any likely births for her, Freebmd search for Est* Bruce 1870-75 produced:

Births Sep 1871 Bruce Esther Dewsbury 9b 537
Births Dec 1872 BRUCE Esther St. Neots 3b 304
Births Dec 1875 Bruce Esther Tamworth 6b 414

[Little Nell]

Again, nothing promising on familysearch. Maybe her "father" was a stepfather and she was registered under a different name, or her father was a figment of her imagination. Or of course, Esther could be a made-up or middle name which doesn't appear on her birth registration.

thanks for trying Nell why did I think it might be easy ?????????????

No luck here either ...
I also tried births on Freebmd and then Marriages for Henry !!! (desperation)

Have you found Esther in 1901 ? .... I didn't see her

[Guest]

oh thanks for trying Rachel no cannot find her anywhere but I just had a thought as they are at the same address in 1902 when they married wonder who I'll find at that address in 1901

[Rachel Scand]

Please could I have a re-cap ....


Her father (according to the marriage cert) is Henry Bruce ... Gas Worker
AND he is not deceased at that time ?

Have you found Henry Bruce on any censuses ?

reckon this is him in 1901 George J Waight born 1849 Bromley a Road Labourer ,Alexander was working in 1901 in the Pub The Widows Son in Bromley maybe George was a customer.
