My Grandfather Walter John Mahoney ( sometimes known as Jack )was born about 1886 and died 31st December 1934.He and my Grandmother lived in East Ham London. All i know is that he worked as a Railway Porter. I assume he must have worked for at a London station. Would there be any records for him that may tell me where he was born, his appearance etc. Or would a Porter be to lowly for that and would i need to know the exact station he worked.

Hi Sue. Think I found him in 3 Athol Street, Bromley, London in 1901 living with a Turner and Collins family.
He was with a Walter Mahoney 41 Son in Law.
Miriam Mahoney 27 Daughter
and walter J himself 15 as an errand boy/porter. Born London Greenwich.

Certainly seems like him. I think what took me off the scent was that there was a rumour that he was Irish from west Ireland. But as i say i don't have any proof. If it is him perhaps he left Grace as my Grandmothers name was Elizabeth Anna. She had her first child in 1912. I have never been able to find their marriage records. Perhaps that's why. This was why i was looking for Railway records . Thought it might give me information to confirm if above is the right one.
Thanks for help

I see on the 1911 census, taken April 2, that Elizabeth is still single, living with her parents James & Jane in Much Hadham. Do you have the birth certificate of the first child born in 1912 ( or the details from that certificate?)

No i don't have that particular certificate. I do have all the names of their children as they were my Aunts and Uncles. I do have two other certificates, one for Barbara and one for Kitty. On one certificate the Father is John Walter Mahoney the other Walter John Mahoney Railway Porter. As i said before although her name was Elizabeth my Grandmother was always called Cissie. One birth certificate say's Cissie Elizabeth the other Elizabeth. Even her death certificate has Cissie on it. Think people forgot over the years what her real name was. I also have a couple of marriage certificates for their children. For the Father they say Walter John Mahoney Desceased
Thanks
