There are other Walter Merediths, e.g. one from Old Ford, do you know his trade and wife?
Thanks

Lynne

Lynne Report 8 Dec 2010 19:58

His wife was Alice Beatrice, but she was living with someone else in 1911. Half the kids are Merediths and some are Martins. Driving me crazy.

Thank you

Alice is using the name Martin, husband George Martin. She was born Alice Beatrice Harvey in 1880 in St Lukes, London. She married Walter Meredith in 1900 in Shorditch. My grandmother Grace has also been given the name Martin, but i know she was a Meredith, only her father is stated as george Meredith on her birth cert.

Thanks

Vera. Walter was in Dartmoor Prison in 1901. Not sure if Alice married a George Martin. From what i've found and heard so far is that Walter & George were the same guy. It was thought they changed there surname in about 1920, but going off the 1911 census it seems their name change long before that.

Glitter. That's the correct parents.
Patchem. that's the right family 1891.

Just can't work out when name changed or when George showed up.
