Henry Christmas Son Single Male 10 1881 Scholar London, Middlesex, England

John's occupation may well say Furrier

I was hoping to find Maria Louisa Hitchins who had a chid born at that address in 1894 (I have the birth certificate ) Maria was a Domestic Servant living at that address . I know where Maria is on the other census but not found her in 1891. Maria was born in 1875 Richmond Surrey. There are a few mis spellings of the name Hitchins Thanks for your help Pam

Thanks . Yes You have the right Maria but she married Frederick Valentine Bonham .in 1901. Charles is named as Father on Baptism only . There is no Fathers name on his Birth certificate. I am still looking for Maria in 1891 census Thanks again Pam

The 1901 marriage has been posted as has the birth reg. with no maiden name showing suggesting illegitimacy.
We don't know all the information that you do and have to work around to see if we can find things to help us help you.
