Had a look at some of the trees that have Augustus as son of Angel Aarons..

Now some have him as son of Angel and Sarah, but some have him as son of Angel and ABIGAIL.

The latter concern me more, as we only have the one census instance of Augustus with HENRY and Abigail, so maybe this could be an Angel using a second forename or picking an anglicised one.

Found this potential marriage:

>>>>MENDOZA Abigail St Luke 1b 778

Some of the trees have Aaron dying in 1862. This obviously isn't true of the Angel married to Sarah, who is still alive in census 1881, and the only record of an Aarons I can find dying in the London area in 1862 is a Samuel Aarons.

However I did find a lady called Abigail Smith in census 1881 who had a much younger husband, but also a son and grandson called Aarons. It might just be co-incidence, but I think the only way Karen can be certain of Augustus's parentage is to buy that birth cert.

This Abigail Smith is also a dress maker, like Abigail Aarons in 1861. (However dressmaking is not an uncommon occupation for women).

Augustus did call one of his children Angel.

Census 1891:

Angel and Sarah appear to be childless in census 1871 as well. Certainly no sign of Augustus:

Name: Angel Aarons
Age: 47
Estimated birth year: abt 1824
Relation: Head
Spouse's name: Sarah Aarons
Gender: Male
Where born: Houndsditch, Middlesex, England
Civil Parish: Old Artillery Ground
Ecclesiastical parish: St Mary

Sub-registration district: Artillery

Household schedule number: 200

Household Members: Name Age
Angel Aarons 47 c1824 Houndsditch, Middlesex, England. General Dealer.
Sarah Aarons 36 c1835 Whitechapel, Middlesex, England.

5 Sandys Row appears to be a house of multiple occupancy in 1881, there are other households there apart from Angel's household and Augustus's household.

Looks like you'll have to buy the birth cert to be 100% sure, in view of Margaret's discovery on the 1881 census, but I suspect Angel is possibly an uncle or other relative. Augustus is described as son to Henry in 1861, whereas no relationship is stated to Angel.

Elizabeth is born Germany on census 1901 & 1911.

Hi Kucinta,
thank you. The family tree I have been looking into, which shows Angel Aarons as Augustus Aarons' father, also shows another Angel Aarons born c 1825 in Spittalfields married to a Sarah Mendoza.
I think this is the Angel you have found. So you are right that he can't be Augustus' father, but he may still possibly be related.
Thank you though.

On the 1881 census, at the same address, 5 Sandy's Row, Old Artillery Ground, London, are the following:

Angel Aarons, head, 60, general dealer
Sarah, wife, 49

Augustus Aarons, head, 23, tailor
Elizabeth, wife, 29
Rachael, dau, 3
Leah, dau, 6 months?

All born London.

Census 1911:

Three children born of the marriage, all alive at time of census 1911.

Just to show Augustus is NOT with Angel and Sarah Aarons in 1861 when he would be 3.

Looks pretty much like Henry and Abbey/Abigail are Augustus's parents.

Thanks Mike. I can't access the bmd index at the mo (not without paying extra $ - which ain't going to happen at christmas time I'm afraid!), so I haven't been able to check it out fully yet.
Thanks you all.

I posted Augustus's birth certificate record at the top of the thread.

The marriage is for parents Henry and Abigail.

Chris,
I'm interested in the census info you gave me in which Augusts' parents were Henry & Abigail. Do you know if there is any further info on this (i.e. later census records/birth cert for Augustus)??
Much appreciated,
Karen.

Hi Mike,
the cencus records are the ones I'm looking for, the marriage one appears to be someone different.
Thank you.
