    Default fitzsimmonds of bethnal green

    Struggling at the beginning of my great grandmother tree

    she was adelaide fitzsimmonds born 5th sept 1900 bethnal green
    birth cert say james father as a chair maker and sarah nee williams as mother
    of 50 chamborough street b/green
    also married in 1921 to arthur preou with james as father a chair maker.

    there is a census 1911 at 26 canroberts street which is really messed up with ink.
    father is not there. sarah is head , there are other children crossed out. i'm not sure what its supposed to mean,
    If james and sarah are her parents cannot find a marriage anywhere ,1911 census says married 14 years cannot find it. The family have spoke of an anthony fitzsimmons as her brother there is one in 1912 bethnal green with mother williams i assume this is him.will order his b/cert.

    No I can't find a marriage in the area either.

    Why not get Adelaide's birth certificate?

    That 1911 census is a mess isn't it?
    Sarah actually has herself as Single at the top of the page when she started filling in the form, having 8 children with only four living.
    So is Lillian Williams her dau from a first marriage or illegitimate? And where was she in 1901.
    Adelaide has two brothers that we know for sure, Richard on the 1901 and George 7 on the 1911 plus a sister Louisa 3.

    I am struggling to find James, prior to 1901. Noted he is also 22 years older than Sarah.

    The 1911 census asked for the details for the children of the marriage so maybe Sarah crossed out Lilin because she was a williams. For george c1894 I don't know unless he was not of the marriage or maybe Sarah just made another mistake when trying to fill out the form?
