Charles’ & Emma’s Children
The 1891 census shows Charles & Emma living with their 8 kids at 37 Duke Street, Lambeth. The 1881 census shows another older girl, Emma, who has presumably left home by the 1891 census. The full list of their offspring is as follows (all are born in Lambeth):
- Emma - b 29 Oct 1871
- Mary - b abt 1873 (envelope folder in 1891)
- Katy - b 2 Oct 1875 (sweet maker/confectioner in 1891)*
- Annie - b abt 1877 (domestic servant in 1891)
- Lizzie - b 1879 (still at school in 1891)
- Charles - b 1881 (worked as a carman in 1901)
- William - b 7 Dec 1884 (painter in 1901 - presumably decorator rather than artist; was an engineer for Cockburn’s Iron Works, Westminster Bridge Rd, in 1905; ran own window cleaning business in Catford till he died in 1912)
- Frederick - b abt 1886-7
- John (Jack) - b 1891. He was 1 month old at the time of the 1891 census, which puts his DOB in March 1891.
I sent off for a birth cert for Mary, b 1875, 31 Charles Street (interestingly Mary’s brother was living at 9 Charles St with his bride-to-be, Emily Cooper, in 1903).
It gives the father’s name as Frederick Charles Martin (full details elsewhere).
