The more I delve into this family, the more confused I become!
And now I'm going to confuse you too.

Mary Lewis and Charles Stratton in 1891 - also with his (brother ?) John and family:

Charles Stratton
in the 1891 England Census
Name: Charles Stratton
Gender: Male
Age: 27
Relationship: Boarder
Birth Year: 1864
Birth Place: N

Mary Lewis 26 - single, boarder
John Stratton 25 - married, boarder
Emily A English 21 - married, boarder
Daisy E Liddington 9/12 [ Stratton on image] boarder, daughter

John and Emily had married in 1889, so don't know why Emily's maiden name is on 1891 census. Daisy is their daughter.

John Stratton
in the London, England, Church of England Marriages and Banns, 1754-1932
Name: John Stratton
Gender: Male
Marriage Age: 25
Record Type: Marriage
Birth Date: abt 1864
Marriage Date: 25 Dec 1889
Marriage Place: St James Norlands, Kensington, Kensington and Chelsea, England
Father: Henry Stratton
Spouse: Emily Ada English
Register Type: Parish Register


At Charles Shatton/Stratton's marriage to Mary Lewis in 1891, his father is named as Charles Henry.

Possibly the father's marriage:

Charles Stratten

In 1939 John's DOB is given as 21 April 1865.

Inferred County: London
Volume: 1a

I previously posted what I thought might be the birth of Harry Stratton, with surname Lewis, in 1888.

However, there's this birth : - could he have been a much younger brother of Charles 1864, rather than a son ??? Although 1901 census does say he's Mary's son.
If he's the son of Mary Lewis and Charles Stratton, he's not with them in 1891.

Thank you Safc

I think I still have some credits outstanding on there

Kim

Erika

I am giving 1 year either side of 1905 due to that but still can't find a birth

But also Harry (or Harold) Stratton is such a common name

Kim

hi kim

from find my past

In 1939 and at death, his DoB is given as 16th July 1905. If that was correct, his age in 1911 would equate to an estimated birth year of 1906 - not 1905 as per 1911 census

Oh Erika,

Thanks so much for that
Kim :)

Hi Safc

Thanks so much for the info, did you get the 1911 on Ancestry?

Yes all other info I have but still no birth tho :(
