There is this marriage, and looking at the 1901 census, this Florence married Frederick John Mason, but is she the right one,
Marriages Sep 1898.
Gameson Florence. Aston. 6d. 539.
Knowles Florence Jane. Aston. 6d. 539.
Mason Frederick John. Aston. 6d. 539.
Shirley Charle.s Aston. 6d. 539.

1901. Aston.
Charles Shirley 29.
Florence J Shirley 29.
Eva Ab A Knowler 17. Sister-in-Law.

so its looking like henry and rebecca had two kids called edward and rebecca and when rebecca passed away henry moved kate and her two kids in after her partner james passed away and then in 1881 the enumerator lumped them all together as gamesons.
it seems more than feasible to me.

steve

looking at GRO theres a florence r gameson death in mar 1866. never new about her as not indicated in census and i havent done PR searches for this line of enquiry yet.

just to find edward and rebbeca now.

many thanks all.

Was Edward the one born Jun qtr 1864 Birmingham? Edward Henry Gameson.
I wonder if he switched to his middle name? The 1891 and 1901 have entries for Henry Gameson b 1866 in Warwickshire but living in Yorkshire, and by 1901 he is married to Amelia.

yes thats the correct edward henry gameson.

wondering what happened to Kate now......

there are no other henry gamesons born in the decade 1860 to 1870 so who else could it be.

nice work everyone.

1901. 53 Trinity Rd, Handsworth, Warwickshire.
Charles Dunn 40. Tin plate worker, Employer. Chatham, Kent.
Taicey Dunn 34. Birmingham, Birmingham, Warwickshire.
Alice Boddy 20. Servant. Yorkshire.

its looking good but dont know where the name theersa has appeared from?
there are definitely no GRO births for a Theresa Gameson of that age.
then for the census returns she is Tracey, at least that is one of her names.

would be nice to know where Kate has got to.
i will assume that she never actually married Henry, there being no proof, and so she is going under the surname Hipkins or Hodgetts.

thanks.
