Looking for my maternal grandmother's parents

[dave6023]

My grandmother was Mary Rosina Stuart. Her birth was registered in Lamberth c1874. I can find no trace of her family in the 1881 or 1891 census's.
She married Albert William Hoare c1898 and is shown in the 1901 census.
Can anyone help me find her parents please.

Thanks in anticipation
Dave

Hi dave,

Have you her parents names?

 

[juliejtp]

Would this be them in 1891

Civil parish Lambeth
Reg district Lambeth
Sub reg district Lambeth Church second

77 Vauxhall Walk

William Stuart head age 59 occ engine driver born Axminster Devon
Rosing wife age (transcribed as 28, age on census image has a black line through it, could be 38) born Teignmouth
Clara dau age 23 occ paper box maker born Lambeth
Mary dau age 17 occ dressmaker born Lambeth
Joseph son age 14 born Lambeth

Dont know why the face with glases appeared but the age may be 38.

No I don't, that is my problem. My only information about her is that she is related to the Stuarts from the Isle of Bute. I have no idea if there were any siblings.
Someone who tried to help suggested her father/family came from Devon.

I did find a Mary F (misread 'R'?) Stuart in the 1981 census aged 13 born in London but the parish was St Pancras not Lambeth.

This is the same family as in 1891.

1881

Civil parish Lambeth
77, Vauxhall W

William Stuart head age occ ironmongers asst born Devon Devonshire
Roulla? wife age 28 born Devonshire
Robert son age 18 occ clerk born Middlesex
Lucy dau age 15 born Surrey
Flory? dau age 13 born Surrey
Rosina dau age 7 born Surrey


Joseph son age 4 born Surrey

 

[juliejtp]

The same family in 1901

Civil parish Wealdstone
County Middlesex

Wm Stuart age 69 occ newsagent/shopkeeper born Axminster Devon
Rosina wife age 49 born Teignmouth
Florence dau age 33 occ stationers asst born Lambeth

Suggest that you get Mary Rosina's marriage certificate,this will give you the fathers name and occ and her birth certifcate as well which will give you fathers name and mother maiden name.

Hi juliejtp

Many thanks for your help.

It looks like you have put me on the right track, my main source of information was my mother but she died in 2003 and vague memories of names from my childhood. As I was born in 1951 I never knew my grandparents though I think one them died in 1954.

I will certainly get the certificates. I hope I can trace William Stuart's family back to Scotland as my mother told me Mary's family came from the Isle of Bute. If this is the right family then my father was named after Mary's father. My middle name is Stuart and I have passed this on to my 3 sons as well!

Thanks again
Dave

Hi Dave,

it is always best to go with certified proof to get you back to 1901. start with yourself and work backwards,

so parents marriage cert, Mothers birth cert, her parents marriage then their births...

this helps to prove your findings and also when you purchase any certificates the informants or witness' names can help tie in that all important connection.
