  1. 1841 Whittle End, Doddington, March, Cambridgeshire
    1851 17 Kings Place, Leather Market, Bermondsey, Surrey. Living with mother and step father
    1860 Peacock Street, Newington, Surrey
    1861 17 Kings Place, Leather Marker, Bermondsey, Surrey as George HALFORD, unmarried. Living with his mother and step father Liza and Chas HALFORD
    1871 26 Darwin Street, St George the Martyr, Southwark, Surrey. Living in the same property as John BRIDSOW (?) (68) and wife Emma (70)
    1874 95 Bermondsey Street, Bermondsey, Surrey
    1881 52 Long Lane, St George the Martyr, Southwark, Surrey. In this property there were 5 family groups William AYRES and his wife Mary A,  James COBDEN and his wife Agnes, Maria FRANCIS, her son William and a lodger George L WHEATON, unmarried, Age 41,  Plumber, born in St Ives, Huntingdonshire. We have assumed the initial should be "Y" and we have the two marriage certificates to show that he was/had been married!
    William COOK, his wife Mary A and son George J  James KING
    1891 Not living at 52 Long Lane, St George the Martyr, Southwark, Surrey
    See Court information, he could have been in prison
    1901 52 Long Lane, St George the Martyr, Southwark, Surrey. There were 5 families in the property
    There is no birth entry for a George Young WHEATON. However, there is an entry for a George YOUNG in the St Ives District, Huntingdonshire in the December quarter 1839.
    Court, Land & Probate, England & Wales, Criminal Registers, 1791-1892, Surrey 27 March 1876
    George Young WHEATON : Offence - Bigamy : Sentence - 6 Cal Months
  2. 1860 Peacock Street, Newington, Surrey
    1861 Not found with certainty
    1871 28 Darwin Street, St George the Martyr, Southwark, Surrey
    It would appear that George left Anne and married bigamously! Anne appears to have died after George remarried. However, the only certificate we can find which might apply has the husband as John WHEATON a Cab Driver. A John ALLDIS reported the death and was present at 49 Clinn Street, Bermondsey, Surrey. Perhaps as she was a WHEATON, and he was a John, she became the "wife" of John WHEATON". There was a John ALLDIS on the 1871 census age 36 Cab Driver born Southwark, Surrey. He had a wife Ellen and son John (17) born Bermondsey, Surrey. We shall never know the answer!
    Details from the death certificate:
    Died 10th April 1878 49 Clinn Street, Bermondsey, Surrey
    Ann WHEATON Female 36 years, 
    wife of John WHEATON Cab Driver 
    Phthsis 3 years Certified Walter HART, 
    Informant John ALLDIS present at the death, 
    Registered 13th April 1878.
  3. 1874 95 Bermondsey Street, Bermondsey, Surrey
    Flora Rubenia STUART is shown as a widow on her marriage certificate, but her father's name is also shown as STUART
    No suitable death found on the BMD for Flora
  4. 1871 28 Darwin Street, St George the Martyr, Surrey
    1881 39 Castle Street, Southwark St George the Martyr, Surrey . Lodging with Mary Ann HOLLAND (Pedlar, Age 40, born Bermondsey) and her
    son and daughter
    1891 6 Garden Cottages, Lambeth, London (RG12/398 folio 23 page 39)
    1901 There was no George WHEATON recorded on the 1901 census. However, there was the
    following: 
    7 Youngs Road, London Road, St George the Martyr, Southwark, Surrey
    George WEBB (39) Dock???? Labourer born London Bermondsey and
    Cecilia WEBB (36) born Isle of Thanet, Kent
    Other than the surname these details match George and Cecilia. 
    Cecilia died in the Croydon District, Surrey in 1905, Croydon being south of Southwark, 
    and George died in the Southwark District.
    There was also an adopted daughter, Lily McKENZIE (3) born Clapham, Surrey
    1911 85 Frant Road, Thornton Heath, Surrey
    More problems!
    George WHEATON (51) widower born London a Labourer was the son-in-law of Susan 
    LARGE (66) widow Kept by Children born Lady Wells, Kent. Living with her were here son 
    Ernest (33) Carman and daughter (27) Charing both born Bermondsey, Surrey. A Visitor 
    was Phelie DENNIS (2 months born South Lambeth, Surrey. Ceclia SMITH (2) born 
    Whitechapel, London was a Nurse Child.
    Also living with them was George WHEATON's daughter Lilly WHEATON (13) School born 
    Clapham, Surrey, which corresponds with the Lily McKENZIE (3) born Clapham, Surrey on
    the above 1901 census. The information for George WHEATON also corresponds with the 
    details we have for this George Ernest WHEATON.
    * There is no Lily/Lilly WHEATON birth registered 1896/1898 so it does suggest that Lily McKENZIE (1901) and Lilly WHEATON (1911) are the same person
    * Cecilia WHEATON died in the Croydon District
    * George Ernest WHEATON married Cecilia YOUNG confirmed through copy of original index
    * On the 1881 census Edward and Susan LARGE had a daughter Cecilia
    * On the 1871 census there is a Cecilia YOUNG living as a boarder with another family; I cannot find a Susan LARGE or YOUNG.
    * There is a Cecilia YOUNG birth registered December quarter 1864 Thanet District, Kent. There was no Ceclia LARGE birth registered in Kent during this 1864/1866
    Despite the differences in the name I do feel that this is the right family, needs further research

The idea of these charts is to give the information that we have found in the research we have done and put together and with the help of many other people who have contacted us over the past thirty odd years we have been researching our family. The idea is that you click on the Chart box in blue to be taken to the next family. There is now a large number of charts to be found and connections can be made to all the main families I am researching. If a chart has a box with the standard background it means that as yet I have not put the Chart on the Web.
To conform to the Data Protection Act all the Charts have been altered to exclude all details for living people other than the name.
