Another mystery that I think I have solved and I'm looking for your expert heads to basically pull it apart and prove me wrong or nod and hmmmm a lot in agreement.
I have an illegitimate child called JOSEPH WILLIAM HALL born 1861 in Islington.
His mother is Jane Linkson (1842) who married George Henry Edney in 1867.
On 1871 as Joseph W Hall (wife's son) c 1861 http://search.ancestry.co.uk/iexec?htx=view&r=5538&dbid=7619&iid=LNDRG10_287_290-0113&fn=Joseph+W&ln=Hall&st=r&ssrc=pt_t1483982_p-846808849_kpidz0q3d-846808849z0q26pgz0q3d32768z0q26pgPLz0q3dpid&pid=11457467
On 1881 as Joseph W Edney (that's his mothers married name) http://search.ancestry.co.uk/iexec?htx=view&r=5538&dbid=7572&iid=LNDRG11_260_265-0248&fn=Joseph+W.&ln=Edney&st=r&ssrc=pt_t1483982_p-846808849_kpidz0q3d-846808849z0q26pgz0q3d32768z0q26pgPLz0q3dpid&pid=14313020
His aunt (Jane's sister) married John William Allday HALL in 1863. But she was remarried in 1865 to George Rayner.
On my hunt to find out more about John W A Hall I looked at is family, who were from Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire, but in 1861 he is living in London with his brother Joseph Hall, c1836, a Traveller. (I think salesman rather than gypsy)
This set a little "I wonder if….. " off in my head.
By 1871 Joseph is back in Nottingham with his mother but showing as married (Occ: Traveller Hosiery) , and in 1881 he is with wife and children again in Nottingham. (Occ: Agent for Prussian Cloth)
BUT….. in 1866 at ST Mary Islington there is a baptism for a Joseph William Hall, born 1861, parents Joseph (Commercial Traveller) and Jane.
Address is SHepperton Cottages which is a Linkson family residence.
The rather loud ringing bell on this one is that on the same day in the same church there is a baptism for Mary Margaret Rayner, daughter of George and Ellen. That being Ellen Linkson, sister of Jane.
The census for that area for 1861 is missing (although the baptism gives his birth as 5th August so Joseph wouldn't be on it).
Any thoughts at all?
