    Links on Ancestry are between a Berwick family & a Franklin family,looking at census, different years using different names. I think they are possibly the same family!

    Do you know of any siblings?

    Possible birth reg!

    FRANKLIN, SIDNEY HERBERT MMN - FORDHAM
    GRO Ref, 1880 J Quarter in POPLAR

    A Sarah Fordham married a George Berwick 1864,Hackney. There’s a possible birth from this marraige.
    Some time later she appears to be with a Joseph Franklin and there are children born Franklin with MMN - Fordham.

    1881 piece 418 Folio 49 Page 54
    26 Palm Street Bethnal Green.
    Joseph Franklin 41 Porter born Stepney
    Sarah Ja. Franklin 34, Tailoress Cambridgeshire
    Joseph Franklin 10 Bethnal Green
    Alfred Franklin 6 Bethnal Green
    Augustus Franklin 5 Bethnal Green
    Leopold Franklin 3 Bethnal Green
    Sidney Franklin 1 born Poplar

    In 1891 Sarah is down as Sarah P Berwick age 43 married, but no husband present. The sons have the surname Franklin RG11 piece 271 folio 157 page 61.
    On the 1939 register Sidney gives his birth date as 29 Feb 1880, occupation Range Warden.

    Hi Looked into this family but someone has done a tree on Ancestry and there is no Sidney Herbert Berwick listed, George walked out on this Sarah and although they never married she moved in with Joseph franklin
    Thanks so much for you help

    Hi
    Changed my mind!! Looked deeper into your suggestion.... I think you have something here 1891 census shows Sarah using the Berwick Name but the children are using Franklin Just noticed Christanel has also spotted this!!
    Brilliant Thanks for the Lead

    Thank you all so much for helping me sort out Sidneys Herbert Berwick/Franklin Parents
    After much digging it seems Sarah's first Husband George Berwick left her in 1867 found a order of removal!
    she then was with a Joseph Franklin and had 8 Children with him but as you wonderful people pointed out in 1891 census she used her married name Berwick so along the line Sidney used the Berwick name but entered his Father as Joseph Berwick not Franklin on his marriage Certificate.
    Cannot thank you enough
    Regards
    Lj
