Hi, although I've only just joined I feel I have been here before!
Firstly apologies for the lengthy post, I am trying to find my great grandfather’s death date. Arthur Edgar Jewson, born 10 Jan 1847 and baptised 31 Jan 1847: http://tinstaafl.co.uk/nbp/Church_Pages ... .html#1845
I have verified records for his first marriage to Amelia Caroline Wearing my great grandmother and for their daughter Mabel Lilian Jewson my grandmother. [Although many people have a Matt C L Jewson as well as Mabel Lilian Jewson, this is definitely a transcription error.]
There are records for a second marriage to a Mary Anne Hunter [Widow], maiden name Anger born in 1861: https://freepages.rootsweb.com/~billdev ... 11610.html
http://www.shrivenhamheritagesociety.co ... 8-1982.pdf
If Alfred did marry Mary Anne Hunter then I have checked the following information for them:
1901 Census – Address 77 Duncan Buildings
Alfred; 47 and Mary; 38 : Should be 54 and 40, but I know that ages can be wrong in a census.
There are 3 step children [Hunter] and 3 children [Jewson] - Arthur aged 6; Beatrice aged 3; Olive aged 1.
1911 Census – Address 5 Wilmington Place
Alfred’s age is still adrift, step children no longer at home, but others are roughly 10 years older.
Electoral List Addresses for Alfred Jewson that would fit with above census info:
1898-1902 77 Duncan Buildings
1905-1913 5 Wilmington Place
With exception of: 1903,1904,1912 - Nothing found so far and 1907 at 10 Wilmington Place [from St Helena Place]
The following facts that many have taken as relating to the Jewson’s are quite confusing/misleading to say the least:
London England School Admissions and Discharges:
Birth dates fit children, but address of parent, namely Alfred Jewson is listed as 35 East Street where as 1901 Census address has everybody living at 77 Duncan Buildings.

1915 Army Records for son Arthur Edgar Jewson have mother listed as Mary Elizabeth Jewson – not Anne, she has actually signed Mary E Jewson on receipt for War Medal.
Father given as Alfred, address 13 Chapel Row, although this information is crossed out and his mother’s details put instead.
I don’t think Arthur Edgar Jewson who died in the war is the son of Alfred Jewson and Mary Anne [Anger] Hunter mentioned on both the 1901 and 1911 census but I stand to be corrected.
1914 and 195 Electoral List entries: Alfred Jewson at 13 Chapel Row, same as son’s army record, also list 1915 is Alfred Jewson at 45 St Helena Street, which is close to Helena Place [1907 address above].
I couldn’t find much for Alfred Edgar Jewson after 1915 so I looked for deaths around that time and actually purchased a death certificate for an Alfred Jewson who died 9th June 1916. Turns out to be Alfred Jewson of 13 Chapel Row, who died aged 64 in Holborn Workhouse and who was a printer– maybe why his details were crossed out on the boy’s Army record. Also makes him having been born in 1852.
1921 Census
Details are for Mary E Jewson, Widow aged 59 [Not Mary Anne]; Beatrice L Jewson [daughter] and John Halfacre [grandson] of 22 Little Northampton Street.
There are records linking both Beatrice and Olive to 22 Little Northampton Street, also records for Olive’s marriage to John Halfacre, the birth of their son and her death in 1920 which correspond with information in the 1921 census.
Further GRO research has thrown up the following records:
Arthur Edgar Jewson born 1895 Mother’s Maiden Name: Hunter
Olive Jewson born 1900 Mother’s Maiden Name: Anger
So far no birth record for Beatrice Jewson, there is a marriage for her which again links to the 22 Little Northampton Street address.
Again apologies for the length of post and I hope the above explains my dilemma!
Help to find death record please.
Requests for assistance with seemingly insurmountable problems!
