Charles Redhead born in Canning Town (Registration district Kensington) in Sept Quarter 1881. I've found him in the 1901 census but do not currently have access to 1891 or 1911 census. Any details about him or his family would be brilliant. Thankyou

Not sure if it helps you, but the nearest I can find:

Sorry, you have 1901 already! Can't see him 1891. Do you know what quarter he was born in? Unable to locate birth on Freebmd.

Jenny

I have searched the 1891 and the 1911 census and at present cannot find any trace of him

Martyn

Martin, 1911 above is probably him - maybe you could check out that occupation!
Jenny, no need to send thank-you messages (though much appreciated), just post on here!
Do you have a marriage for him? You will need this to at least get father's name.
Jan

Thanks to everyone for their help. Much appreciated.
Charles Redhead born in Canning Town (Registration district Kensington) in Sept Quarter 1881. I think the 1911 census return found by brummiejan is likely. The 1891 would be the useful one because it would give details of his family members.

Silly me, looking wrong year.
I would consider getting his birth cert. The nearest I have come across is:

I wonder if this area is covered by London parish records? Will put out a query to see if someone can do a lookup on Ancestry.

Kensal Green

A small area on the southern edge of the London Borough of Brent, Kensal Green borders the boroughs of Westminster to the East, and Kensington and Chelsea to the South. Surrounding neighbourhoods include Willesden Green to the north, Harlesden to the West, Brondesbury and Queens Park to the East and Ladbroke Grove to the south.

Shelly is correct Canning town is the opposite side of London to Kensington

I can only think that the eunumerator misheard Kensington for Canning town

all the data found points to the family being from Kensington

On the first record for Charles Redhead on the military records ...... may have married some time after enlistment


on the line for his "wife" ................ Redhead is crossed out, Lappin or Laffern written in then crossed out, and Redhead written in again

On the next line Wife is crossed out, then written in again.


Below is entered

Maiden name:- Alice Beatrice Laffern, Spinster
Date of Marriage:- 7-8-1918
Place of Marriage:- Register Office, Elham, Kent
Current Address:- 60 Cathnor Rd, Goldhawk Road, Shepherds Bush, W 12


On a later page,

trade:- Bricklayers Labourer is crossed out and replace with Fitter's Mate
