Mark 2643 and Martha Philips
Mark was born in Upminster in 1840, married Martha Philips in 1862 in Hackney, and settled there to raise a family. He was a gardener in 1871, and in 1881 he is recorded as a florist. Their children were:
- Caroline 3205 b 1863 Islington mar Henry Hale 1883 in Hackney
- Elizabeth 3206 b 1865 Hackney
- Jessie 3207 b 1872 Hackney, twin of:
- Mary 3208 b 1872 Hackney.
By 1891 Mark is dead, but Martha continued to live in the same house from 1881 to 1901: 46 Woodland St, Hackney.
Frederick 2630 and Florence Maud Tilson
Frederick was born in 1877 in Hackney and married Florence in 1898 in Bow, London. In 1891 he was living with his brother Arthur, as an errand boy, but in 1901 and 1911 he is listed as a pianoforte maker, presumably working with Arthur.
Their children were:
- Florence Emily 3707 b 1903 Hackney
- Frederick Arthur 3706 b 1906 Clapton, Hackney
- Lilian M 3083 b 1912 Hackney
Arthur 2629 and Mary Ann Bicknell
Arthur was born in 1892 in Hackney and married Mary Ann 1631 Bicknell in 1889.
By 1891 he was a pianoforte maker, which he continued to be through 1911. What is interesting is that in 1911 there is a William Bicknell visiting, who is a musical instrument maker aged 56, so he could be Mary Ann’s elder brother by 14 years.
Arthur & Mary Ann’s children were:
- Arthur James 2632 b 1892 Hackney
- Herbert Frank 2633 b 1896 Hackney
- Alfred Ernest 2634 b 1900 Hackney
- Ivy Olive 3721 b 1910 Leyton, Essex
