This is from the 1911 census that MaureeninNY gave;


Name: Relationship to head: Marital Status: Years married: Sex: Age in 1911: Occupation: Where born: Report error View Original Page
ANDERSON, MARIE HEAD MARRIED 26 F 45 STAFFORD HANDSWORTH
DAVIS, ELLA DAUGHTER MARRIED 5 F 25 MUSIC HALL ARTISTE WARWICK BIRMINGHAM


This looks extremely good, Maria Bangham (nee Jagger) was born in Handsworth, married in 1880......... maybe she forgot about the other 5/6 years of marriage??

Thank you Maureen.

Still trying to track down Alfred......... unfortunately Alfred Herbert isn't him, thank you though Rutland Belle.

Many thanks for looking and searching for me............. I'm now going to buy some more credits for 1911 and see what turns up.

I'll also trace back the Davis line and see if I can pinpoint Alfred.

Many thanks again, Dee xxx

if you just put Ella Davis in with occ code 466 which is Actor this comes up

DAVIS ELLA F 1886 25 Camberwell London

1911

DAVIS
Last names Algorithm Wildcard
Birth Year 1882
Birth Year +/- 3 years
Marriage Year 1905
County Essex
District West Ham
Other person first names ELLA

DAVIS ALFRED HERBERT M 1880 31 West Ham Essex
I know you say she married Alfred Henry but maybe a mistranscription??

This one comes up on the 1911 if you give the occupation as "music hall",but I don't see Alf.:1911
DAVIS ELLA F 1886 25 Camberwell London

I looked at the addresses in 1901 which were given on the marriage cert. No joy for Ella and it looks like Alf married from a relative's place:
Household Members:
Name Age
Alfred E Davis 50 (think the E stands for Ephraim) Occ:Stationers clerk born Lee Kent
Fanny H Davis 46
Alfred E B Davis 18
Herbert C Davis 16
Allan Rose 38
Auguste Dave 19
Florence E Kiff 14

Hi Janey,

Think we've all got those dreaded ancestry puzzles, got a feeling I'm still not gonna solve this one......... something from my gut tells me!!!

I've turned it upside down, inside out and shaked it all about..... and knowing that you, Dea and Julie have looked for me puts my mind at rest...... so I'm not "blinkered" on this one!!!

i'll keep you posted.


Dee xx

Good one, Dea. I wandered off before finishing that job. ;) (And thank you so much for deleting the extraneous bumph from the census record. All the scrolling past that stuff gets tiring.)

It's a puzzle, Denise. We gets our teeth into it, we holds on and shakes!

I keep hoping that somebody whose puzzle I do solve will solve one of mine some day. Genealogy karma!

Hi Janey & Dea,

Thank you both sooo much for looking for me, I haven't got the marriage certificate of Thomas and Maria......... I was following Thomas's line and I know his parentage, however I have it written that Maria had a middle name Constance.

It was believed that there were no children from this marriage, until I started checking them out and to my surprise up pops Ella.


There would have been vast amounts of money in this family, so I'm surprised that there is no sign of them. So having a bank manager as her father would be a strong possibility????????

Hopefully the marriage cert for Ella will land on the door mat in the next couple of days, fingers crossed the witnesses will be of some help.

I'll add to the thread as soon as the cert arrives.

Thanking you both again for your time....... it's very much appreciated.

Hi Janey,

I had looked at that one on 1911 census and I noticed there was also a 'Maria' (Wood)
in there of the right sort of age but having looked at 1901 census for them
I think this would be the 'Institution' ? - Of course, it will only be proved
by buying credits and looking at the details:

Perhaps she was understating her age even in 1881.


Births Dec 1850
Jagger Marian Wt Bromwich 18 563


Handsworth is in West Bromwich reg dist.

-- Oops, no, Marian seems to be accounted for elsewhere in a marriage -- but I wonder whether Marian is Maria's sister. She married in the same quarter as Maria & Edward:

Marriages Sep 1880
Jagger Maria King's N. 6c 618
Jagger Marian King's N. 6c 567


1861 household:

Joseph H Jagger 55
Mary Jagger 51
Fanny Jagger 22
Matilda Jagger 17
Emma Jagger 20
> Marian Jagger 10
Julia James 28
William James 7
Annie G James 8
Mary E James 19


No Maria, and parents a little old to have a daughter after that, though.

... In fact, there was an *older* sister Maria, who would be the one born 1845; 1871:

Joseph H Jagger 65
Matilda Jagger 27
Maria Jagger 25
Marian Jagger 20
Charles Monn 5
Fanny Smith 19


Very odd, there not being any other Jaggers in the vicinity.

Maria aged rather slowly from 1881 to 1891. In 1891 she's 30.

Births Sep 1881
BANGHAM Ella Kirkland King's N. 6c 466


1905 marriage was to Davis or Day.


1911 -- I wonder:

INSTITUTION DAY ELLA 1881 30 Croydon Surrey

Hi Dee,

I have been looking through this today and thought I had found something - a marriage in 1893 for Anna Maria Bangham BUT, having followed this couple up and down through all the census's it is NOT your Maria (draatttt!!!).

Do you have her birth cert, or her father's name as the only Maria (maiden name Jagger?) I can find was born in 1845 - (reg W. Bromwich) - Is this 'your Maria' - father Joseph (Bank Manager)?

Dea x

Hi,

No still waiting and getting impatient!!!! I thought I may have been able to see Ella in the 1911 census, no joy though!!

The marriage certificate hasn't arrived?

A little kick up its pants.

Signing off for today folks............ going to enjoy the sunshine.

Hi Julie,

Thank you for looking, just frustrating I can't find them.......... think I'll have to order the marriage cert and hopefully see who the witnesses are.


Dee xx

Hi Dee

I have looked every way i can think of but can't see them at all
