Gwynne - I am looking for Elizabeth Marklew, and I find that there is nobody by that name born in Sussex in that year.  The Marklews nearly all come from the Staffordshire area.  I did find an Eliza Marshall born in Sussex and living in West Ham in 1881, so could it be her?

 

If you knew the names of any of her siblings and/or parents it would be a big help.

Gwynne - I have found another Marklew = Tilly marriage for the family tree.  Clarence married Alberta Marklew in 1901.

Hi Gwynne

 

That is the reference which you would need to quote when ordering the certificate - Volume 6b  Page 677.  Every BMD has a volume and page number.  If you need to order any, I can give you the link to the site.  Certs cost £7.00 each.

Hello Gwynne

I only received one census form - was that right?  I will transcribe as best I can.  It is easier to read in daylight, but still quite difficult.  I had to magnify to 200%. 

I checked some of the names against the birth records for West Ham on FreeBMD  http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/   I think Baden might be Arthur Lester B. Tilly as I found this name for 1900.  I also found a Lucy Eileen born 1905.  There are quite a number of Tilly births in West Ham, too many for one family, but I feel they are nevertheless related - perhaps cousins?  But you will probably know that.  One interesting find was Ivy Ranger Tilly born 1905.  The Tilly birth records for West Ham come to a sudden stop in June 1907, which is the year the family emigrated.  You might want to search FreeBMD yourself -  just click Births, type in surname Tilly, then the year range that you want.  When they come up it is easy to spot the West Ham ones. 

Now to the census.  Address looks to me like 21 Rippendowns

Tilly Elizabeth             wife  b April 1875 age 36
Tilly Edward Charles  son   b April 1896 age 15
Tilly Baden                son    b June 1900 age 11
Tilly Priscilla Alberta  daughter  b Dec 1903  age 7
Tilly Lucy                  daughter   b Jan 1905  age 5
Tilly ?Alfred Earle       son   b July 1909 age 1
Tilly Myrtle               daughter    b 1911 age 5 months

First 5 born England

All Canadian nationality
All Anglican religion
Edward Charles employed as a Messenger, can't read where he was employed - John ........
First 4 can read and write (others too young!)

All speak English language
Emigrated 1907
No infirmities

I do hope this is helpful.

Hi Gwynne

 

I have been searching and found there is a Sheppard Avenue in Toronto East.  Could this be what we are looking for?

 

Marian

Hi Gwynne

 

I scrutinized maps of Toronto, and specifically Toronto East (as on the census form you sent) for an address which looked like the one which is so hard to read on the form.  I wasn't happy with "Rippendowns"!  

 

The word appears to have "pp" or possibly "ff" in it.  Then on the map I found Sheppard Avenue  in North York, Toronto (East).  I do feel that is what the Tilly's address is.  I think it is quite a large street, as there is also a Sheppard Avenue E. in Scarborough, Toronto.  And there is a Sheppard Line (railway?) also.   I was hoping this might help in your investigations!!  One other possibility is Dufferin Street in North York, Toronto, but I don't think it's that.
