I have just found HAROLD CASPER SOLDER's birth register - Harold Casper SALZER the dates fit. Jun 1897 West Ham Vol 4a p117. I wonder if they are in the 1901 census as SALZER or SOLDER. Tammy :~)

I have the name HAROLD CASPER SOLDER I am told born in 1897 and I believe that the above Solder's were his family in some way - Casper Solder was probably his grandfather. I can't find Harold Casper's birth register and I have looked in Ancestry and FreeBMD. I don't know if he is on the 1901 census but he should be. The shoemaker occupation fits with what I was told. Best wishes Tammy :~)

Thanks again Heather for all your help, I am doing that at the moment. I do wonder if he had a strong german accent if it would be mistranscribed but I am looking. Thanks Tammy :~)

Possibly Solden? But the best way to find mums name would be the kids birth cert. Have you found that?

As Mary Ann, the daughter is a year old in the 1861 above, then you could look for a marriage say 1861 backwards for a year or so on the full bmd index on ancestry which is free to use. http://www*ancestry*co*uk/search/rectype/vital/freebmd/bmd*aspx change asterisks to full stops

Hi Heather Thanks for making it clearer, I am not very good at these things. I have looked on FreeBMD, yes I will buy the birth certifcate of one of the children, I just wanted to see if I could find anything else out from the other census first. Best wishes Tammy :~)

Hope you dont mind, but if you have a lot of info, just put see below in the first box of a thread and then add reply with the info as otherwise it gets jumbled up and is hard for people to read: This is the information I have found - 1881 Ref RG11 Piece/Folio 1716/133 page 13. 19 Upper Constance Street, West Ham, Essex Head - Casper SOLDER 1839 Age 42 Born - Germany Wife - Mary A SOLDER 1842 Age 39 Born - London Daur - Mary A SOLDER 1861 Age 20 Born - London Son - Frank C SOLDER 1864 Age 17 Born - London Son - George SOLDER 1865 Age 16 Born - London Daur - Elisabeth SOLDER 1867 Age 14 Born - London Daur - Rosina SOLDER 1871 Age 10 Born - London Son - Henry R SOLDER 1874 Age 7 Born - London Son - Conrad SOLDER 1876 Age 5 Born - London Brother - Henry SOLDER 1849 Age 32 Born - Germany I am looking for any other census with these people in.

Where have you looked for the marriage? Freebmd and ancestry full index? You really ought to buy one of the kids birth certs - your direct ancestors for £7 to check the maiden name of mum. Free bmd have son Franks marriage and also Rosinas Marriages Dec 1885 (>99%) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Barron Henry Charles Poplar 1c 1182 Downer Elizabeth Anita Poplar 1c 1182 Shortland Nelly Sarah Poplar 1c 1182 Solder Frank Casper S Poplar 1c 1182
