Jennie could be a diminutive for Sarah Mary Jane?

There is one Mothersole-Priddle birth after the census:

Births Dec 1911
Mothersole Leslie A -Priddle- Holborn 1b 1170

This is SMJP's birth:

Births Dec 1880
PRIDDLE Sarah Mary J Pancras 1b 146

which could match the 1911.


1881 census

Name: Sarah My.Jane Priddle
Relation: Daughter

Mother's name: Mary Priddle
Where born: St Pancras, Middlesex, England

Here she is in 1901 -- in Hampstead, which could explain the place of birth in the 1911:

Name: Mary Jane Priddle
Age: 20
Estimated birth year: abt 1881
Relation: Servant
Where born: Kentish Town, London, England

Civil Parish: Hampstead

Aha -- not mutually exclusive then!

Except ... he married someone nearly 20 years older than him? Not maybe a different Alfred Mothersole?

Just remember that if your Alfred *is* the one who married Sarah Mary Jane (Jennie) Priddle, he is *not* the one who married Eliza and then Emma! That Alfred was a generation older, and is not related at all except by coincidence of name. ;)

That other Alfred is the one in 1911 who is widowed with children Jack, Martha and Ellen.

To summarize it, if your Alfred is the one you described:

Alfred Mothersole b 1881 Herts Potton End Berkhampstead

then he didn't marry in 1902. The other Alfred did.

Your Alfred is this Alfred in 1911:

MOTHERSOLE, Alfred Head Married M 30 1881 Bricklayer Herts Potton End
MOTHERSOLE, Jennie Wife Married 2 years F 30 1881 London Hampstead
MOTHERSOLE, Hettie Daughter F 0 (7 mo) 1911 Herts Berkhamsted

His marriage:

Marriages Mar 1909
MOTHERSOLE Alfred Pancras 1b 30
PRIDDLE Sarah Mary J Pancras 1b 30

His wife's birth:

Births Dec 1880
PRIDDLE Sarah Mary J Pancras 1b 146

His daughter's birth:

Births Sep 1910
MOTHERSOLE Hettie - Berkhampstead 3a 888

His other child's birth:

Births Dec 1911
Mothersole Leslie A -Priddle- Holborn 1b 1170

thanks JaneyCanuck ,for your hard work,
I wonder if any one will question my marrage to my hubby when i am gone as we have a 20 year age gap, so i guess anything is possable,

Heh, DawnB.

But you do realize that while anything may possible, it simply is not possible that the Alfred Mothersole who married in 1902 is the Alfred born 1881who is in the 1911 census with daughter Hettie? -- I hope!


Births Mar 1858
Mothersole Alfred Baker Thingoe 4a 455

Births Jun 1881
Mothersole Alfred Berkhampstead 3a 519


Different guys, unrelated. Just checking!

There were actually a couple of dozen Alfred Mothersole-s born in England in the 1800s. You just lighted on one of the wrong 'uns.
