Who When Where

Not so sure it was a matter of "deceit" as it was simply enlisting under another name. Unless the soldier had previously served and was discharged, then attested using a different name in another regiment. As regards my fellow's three attestation records, his birth name is (later) recorded...

Just wondering if other Forum members have this family tree situation during the 19th and early 20th century: Recently I was looking for possible military records for one of my great-uncles (born 1883). Finding one soldier's records for three different regiments, from the Boer War to WW1, I had a cl...

If there were pre-1813 births they might not be online. What sources have you checked so far? Ancestry and FS? Doesn't Ancestry's London parish collection only go up to 1812? :? Have you found any baptism records for the Murray children born c1813 to 1833? If not, that could explain why you're not f...

The 1829 Removal Islington to Shoreditch document does list 6 children, but there may have been earlier births prior to Mary (age 16). Any older children were probably young adults by 1829 and no longer living with the family. So look for suitable birth/baptisms from c1805 to 1812 in Ealing, Shoredi...

Could it be Clonrush or Clonmulsk -- a civil parish in the barony of Leitrim, now in County Clare, Ireland.

Further, the wife of the head of the household in Philips Street is a Frances Taylor - yet to be confirmed but when Thomas married Jane Susannah in 1826 one of the witnesses was a Frances Murray so it's possible Ann is in the home of her daughter. The woman living at Phillips Street, Kingsland Road...

In 1841 Eliza is with her parents in St Mary's, Islington (sorry no street noted but probably Paradise Place) and a live-in servant in 1851 (details missing). In 1841 Eliza and parents are living at Lee's Court, Elder Walk . Where is she in 1851? (As regards the 1841 census link, jonwarrn did that ...

Sorry, I'm not seeing that on the actual image. The image I see says just "cab-driver". Birthplace: Middlesex.
Also, can I just confirm if Eliza's father is named Robert...or is it Richard?

Because a cab driver was a steady profession. Most cab drivers stuck with it, and didn't do various labouring jobs (as your James did). You'll need to trace the James Murray (cab driver) after 1851, to confirm if it's another person.

As mentioned earlier, Charlotte may have been in service by 1841. She would've been the right age at the time (about 16). Or she may have died. Too young to have married by 1841. As for James in 1851, I'm having doubts the fellow in Paddington is him. You'll need to research it a lot more. You said ...
