Take a look at this lot - living in Waterloo Street in 1901 Albert Waterfield abt 1887 Hackney, London, England Son Shoreditch St Leonard London Annie Waterfield abt 1881 Finsbury, London, England Daughter Shoreditch St Leonard London Bertie Waterfield abt 1890 Hackney, London, England Son Shoreditch St Leonard London Charlotte Waterfield abt 1896 Hackney, London, England Daughter Shoreditch St Leonard London Chas Waterfield abt 1879 Old Ford, London, England Son Shoreditch St Leonard London Florie Waterfield abt 1898 Haggerston, London, England Daughter Shoreditch St Leonard London Lizzie Waterfield abt 1885 Hackney, London, England Daughter Shoreditch St Leonard London Martha Waterfield abt 1893 Hackney, London, England Daughter Shoreditch St Leonard London Matilda Waterfield abt 1860 Carway, Cambridgeshire, England Wife Shoreditch St Leonard London Samuel Waterfield abt 1858 Daventry, Northamptonshire, England Head Shoreditch St Leonard London William Waterfield abt 1883 Hackney, London, England Son Shoreditch St Leonard London Jim

hi jim thankyou very much thats the right family for albert waterfields family thankyou just need the other family thanks again kerry suden

Try this one. Area about right. Richard has a daughter Annie S. Her age reasonable for 1912 marriage. His occupation is labourer in foundry - though writing seems to start fi Annie S Knight abt 1890 St Luke, London, England Daughter St Luke London Caroline E Knight abt 1897 Clerkenwell, London, England Daughter St Luke London Hannah M Knight abt 1872 St Luke, London, England Wife St Luke London Jessie R Knight abt 1900 Clerkenwell, London, England Daughter St Luke London Mary E Knight abt 1895 Hoxton, London, England Daughter St Luke London Richard Knight abt 1866 Bermondsey, London, England Head St Luke London Jim

Kerry, perhaps this is too simple, but if that lot is right for the groom and he lived was it next door on the cert? Can you trawl the census images to see if the Knights are neighbours in 1901? Oh well done Jim, just seen your new posting.

Tried that Heather - no luck - hence cast net wider. Be interested in your expert views on this one. Jim

hi jim thankyou very much for your help that is them am sure anyway thanks again thanks also heather best wishes kerry suden
