Stuck with Osborne family

[christineoa]

Hi all,

Am trying to help a friend out with his family history. I have purchased his Grandparents marriage certificate in order to trace further back but am not having much luck!!

Charles Osborne (born 1906, Bethnal Green) married Jane Welch (born 1907, Holborn, London) in 1928, Holborn, London. Their father's were Charles Osborne (a butcher by trade) and Geroge, Alfred Welch who was a street trader. Although I have managed to find George Alfred Welch's wife as Frances Bone I am struggling to find the wife of Charles Osborne or to find out anything about his parents!

I don't have much else to go on other than the name Charles Osborne has been carried down the line from Charles born c1880 (father of Charles who married Jane Welch) but, is possible the name goes further back still.

I have been told that Charles born 1907 is believed to have come from a large family of about 10 children who were mostly girls although Charles possibly had an older brother called Arthur.

Can anyone come up with any ideas on how to maybe come at this from a different angle?

Any help much appreciated.

Have you had any luck in the 1911 census, Christine.

Hi Steve
I had a look in 19@@, there are so many Osborne's in and around the London area.
Will try and find Charles the butcher in 1901.

Hi Steve and Oznannie,

Sorry for delay in replying but have just returned from work. As you say there are quite a few Charles Osborne's in London on the 1911 Census!

I currently have access to the 1911 where I pay credits as I go and as you no doubt know it is quite expensive however, I did look at a couple of records on the 1911 Census for Charles Osborne. I picked out two that I thought were possibly in the right location however, one Charles living in Hackney was a police officer and the other a newsagent in Islington!



Thanks for taking the time out to reply to my post.

Hi Christine,

Have you got Charles' birth certificate as you have given both 1906 and 1907 as his year of birth. If it was 1907 there seems to be a likely family in Holborn on the 1911 census. Also, if you have his birth certificate, what was his mother's name please? The Charles with father Charles (a meat porter on the 1911 census) ties in better with a birth registration in Holborn in 1907.
