Trying to find more information on Charlie Sorrell

I am trying to find more information regarding Charlie Sorrell. The one I am looking for is he was married to a florence Pratt on 28/09/1907 and they had 3 daughters, Esther Maisy and Florence. I have searched the 1881 census and found a charlie who lived at 13 Sansfield Road when he was 5 meaning his birthday would be 1876. This Charlie is from the Southwark area with a moher called Rebecca and a Father called Alfred. Is this the CHarlie I am looking for?

Does the birthdate of 1876 tie in with his age on the marriage certificate ?
And does it name his father as Alfred ?

Then that is where you must start.
Order the cert and the info on it will give you something to work from.

So is the same Charlie as the one with a Dad called Alfred? Or do you know if he is related to Alfred?

According to the info provided above, the father of your Charles was named as Charles so not the same person as the son of Alfred.

all i no is that florence was born in 1910. I have a feeling Esther and Maisy were older.

Florence was second born in 1910.

April Report 18 Oct 2010 20:58

Florence was born in Scotland in 1910 so that maybe why they not appearing.
