Find Ancestors

Please can anyone help.. Its a long shot but I do believe I have found my Great Great Aunt on the 1911 Census.. She was born Louisa Georgina Whitehead 1874 Woolwich.. On the 1911 Census I have found a Louisa georgina Jessup living in the area of Romford.. So far I can find no marriage but would greatly appreciate some help with this one.. Husbands first name unknown.

This is the entry on the 1911 Census.. I only did a free search for this one..

Kind Regards Marion

Thanks Rose...So its not my GG Aunt after all.. Oh Dear...Can you solve this one for me then as well... In the 1911 Census there is a Daisy Whitehead also living in Romford.. Now this one I know is mine.. She was not staying with her parents on the night of the 1911 Census so any help as to who is in the household would be much appreciated.. Thanks Rose..

HOUSEHOLD WHITEHEAD DAISY EMMA F 1894 17 Romford Essex

Yes Vera she is mine.. The same one.. Her Mother died in 1879 and her Father a few years before.. She was the daughter of William and Amelia Whitehead.. I have all her siblings marriages but have never found a marriage for Louisa.. I have her family in the 1871 Census living in Mulgrove Place Woolwich.. The surname was mistranscribed though.. I would so much like to find her marriage..


Thanks so much for your help.

Marion,

I can only tell you there are no other Whiteheads with Daisy. You will need to buy credits to find out the other names.

Rose

Looks like she was a servant.

Rose

Thanks Rose.. I was just thinking if she wasn,t with any Whiteheads then she would most like be a Servant of sorts.. Thankyou once again for your kindness in helping me with my search.

Marion

Please excuse me for imposing on your thread
Hi there,
I just read through your thread,because of the name of your Aunt.
I have recently found an Alma Sabastopol Whitehead in Romford on the 1911 census married to William Pimlott Stephens,my husbands 3x grandfather.I wonder if they are connected,they married in 1910 and he died in 1912 age about 62

Hi Marion,
Been trying to find your Louisa on the 1891 and 1901....but so far not having much luck.

Regards Vera

Blue that is certainly a name to conjure with... if you don't mind me saying :-)

Regards Vera

Hi Vera
i Know
it's great isn't it
I only found out about this whitehead when the 1911 came out.I was hoping she might be connected to Marions whitehead as mine was a rugmaker in romford
good luck to Marion though
Blue

Hi Marion, Think I have found her on the 1891....have checked the image....the enumerator has written though her age....it looks to me like it should read 17 and not 47....could someone check as well please..

Regards Vera

Thanks Vera for your help.. I jolly well cant find her either.. She has to be the only one out of all the Whitehead,s that comes up with nothing each time I search.. Blue,No your not imposing at all.. Welcome..I must say to you that all my Whitehead,s mostly came from Woolwich.. Thats not to say when they married they went to live somewhere else? Most did stay even after marriage in Woolwich or its neighbouring places .They all seem to marry in St Mary Magdeline Woolwich..The name you mentioned Alma Sabastopol Whitehead I have never heard of or come across with my searching.. The Whitehead men all served in The Royal Artillery.
Marion

What do think about the one I found on the 1891....personally I think that is her.....trying to find her on the 1901 now.

Regards Vera

Vera,I,m looking at the Census right now.. Honestly I dont know what to make of the age..It does look like 17?? No I,m not sure

Hi Marion,
I know my Alma was born at sea around 1857,but i don't know if she married before she married my husbands granddad, he was born in S.E London around the Peckham area
Also i reckon that Alma was named after the Siege of Alma at the Battle of Sabastople during the Crimean war so have been wondering if her father was a soldier,so it's interesting you mentioning the military link for your Whiteheads.
I'll get there in the end
Good luck with yours,and i'll keep you in mind when i start to do Alma in my tree
Blue

Good luck to you also Blue.. Do keep me in mind regarding the Whiteheads.. My GG Grandfather I forgot to add before was born in Falkirk Stirlingshire and my G Grandfather was born in Ireland.. I,m going out of Woolwich with these two..Otherwise its Woolwich right down to my Nan and her sisters who were Whiteheads and also born in Woolwich..
