    Default Miles family Hammersmith & Wales early 1900s

    Hello all
    I'm trying to trace forward the Miles family starting from Hammersmith with Henry James Miles coachman born 1865 Paddington marrying Ada Wright born 1867 Hammersmith. Ada is my direct link and I have her ancestry - I'm not quite so interested in Henry's but more the family's fate.

    Ada dies in later 1901 from a brain tumour and Henry is in Brixton prison for the 1911 census. I'm not sure why or what happens to him afterwards (there is a possible death for him in 1921).

    There are 4 children, all born in Hammersmith:
    Eva Maud Miles born 17/12/1888. Traced through school records for Waterloo Street School in 1890s, with another family in Barnes in 1901 census. Disappears after this. Rumours that she made the move to Swansea and suffered mental health problems
    Lewis Henry Miles born 1890. Known as Harry, I can trace his entire life - he remained close to my great grandmother throughout his life and I still have contact with one of his sons and grand daughters. This is partly why I'd like to trace the family as he never mentioned his family, childhood or background. Supposedly, he led the move to Wales to find work.
    George F (possibly Frederick, as his grandfather)Miles born 1895. He is witness at Harry's 1920 Swansea wedding but no other trace of him. He is supposed to have gone with Harry to look for work.
    Charlie born 1900. He would have been an infant when his mother died and I have no idea what happened to him!

    With the exception of Harry, they are all difficult to trace after the mother's death and 1901 census. I'm hoping the power of Brit Gen will come up with something!

    Have you checked the Commonwealth War Graves database? They're all about the right age for WW1.
