Putney is a district in south-west London, England, located in the London Borough of Wandsworth. It is situated 5.1 miles (8.2 km) south-west of Charing Cross. The area is identified in the London Plan as one of 35 major centres in Greater London.[1]
Putney was an ancient parish in the Brixton hundred of the county of Surrey.[3] In 1855 the parish was included in the area of responsibility of the Metropolitan Board of Works and was grouped into the Wandsworth District. In 1889 the area was removed from Surrey and became part of the County of London. The Wandsworth District became the Metropolitan Borough of Wandsworth in 1900. Since 1965 Putney has formed part of the London Borough of Wandsworth in Greater London.

Thanks for the pms.
I appreciate you know some things like the census already but we have not seen them.
Working all the details round a family helps us look for clues to pin them down.

What was Norman's occupation?

Looks like he changed his first name and was living with Rebecca.....clutching at straws.

Regards Vera

Thanks for that Vera I thought she might not be married but she could have taken over the kids if the wife had died her mum was a midwife also thought husband could have left his wife and took up with rebecca the men are in the same trade and i know he was b in norwich ....thanks will look into that :-) Nadia

This is the mother's second marriage.
