*Arc tbc* ---Henry Charles

[mumbles]

My grandfather Henry Charles was born 1865 in Middlesex London and married my Grandmother Elizabeth Barcy in Cardiff
in 1893. They then moved to Wolverhampton and then to Throne Road , Whiteheath near Blackheath, Staffs. where he died in 1939. I have all records after marriage including a record of baptism in Catholic Church in 1894 noting parents as Henry Charles ( plumber) and Agnes Davey of Middlesex London. Father was deceased on marriage cert.
Henry was a sailor and he possibly ran away to sea but no record of him or family found before 1893 when he married Elizabeth

Thanks for trying Jimmy but I do not think so.
Baptism record as a convert shows as aged 29 in 1894 and mother Agnes Davey and Marriage cert in 1893 shows as aged 28 and father Henry deceased a plumber

Hi Mumbles
Do you have Henry and Elizabeth in the 1901? Where were they then?
And did the marriage cert have any handy witnesses on it?

[mumbles]

Hi gardener,
They were living in Cardiff and marriage cert. has only witnesses from Elizabeth Barcy side of family and no Charles reps.
It is almost as if Henry ( sometimes called Harry) used false names and details as he always said he ran away to sea.

Is this still a Brick Wall?
Or have you solved it?
