    Notes:

    According to the 1901 Census, William and Mary had three children, Lily, William and John Fincken - siblings of our maternal grandmother, and none of them were on our family tree (until now). Sheila reminded me of them but I was too young to remember them.
    Paul Barrett 09 Sep 2017

    ** By the 1911 Census they had had a total of 12 children of which 9 were still living (the 9 on the Census) and 3 had died. Some of them may have predated the 1901 Census which did not capture this level of detail. We can probably infer possible birth years from the gaps between the other children and, with a name like Fincken, tracking them down should not be too difficult.

    Children:
    1. Adelaide Mary Ann Fincken was born on 15 Jun 1893 in 9 St Peters Square, Bethnal Green, London, England; was christened on 9 Jul 1893 in Bethnal Green, Middlesex, England; died on 23 Oct 1984 in Hillingdon, Middlesex, England.

    • Occupation: 1871, Bethnal Green, Middlesex, England; Milkman
    • Occupation: 1881, Whitechapel, London, England; Milkman

    Notes:

    William doesn't seem to waste much time between the death of one wife and marrying a new one. To be fair, as a working man with young children and no adult daughters left in the house to look after them, he probably had little choice but to remarry quickly. And in his occupation as a Milkman he must have known all about the widow women on his milk round!

    William married Caroline Jane Scott in Mar 1864 in Tower Hamlets, London, England. Caroline (daughter of John Scott and Sarah Clarke) was christened on 27 Dec 1843 in Holborn, London, England; died on 27 Feb 1876 in 22 Southberry Place, Bethnal Green, London, England.

    Notes:

    Name:
    There is some doubt as to whether he was Duncan Donald Andrew, any records I have come across he is Duncan only.
    The surname was spelt 3 different ways also, which didn't help initially. Found him on 1871 census with surname spelt MacLeon.

    Census:
    The address 10 Beaumont Street Mile End Old Town London must be long gone as I can find no trace of it.

    Occupation:
    Royal Albert Dock was the closest to Bow so I have assumed that was where he worked.

    Duncan married Frances Jane Taylor about 1867. Frances (daughter of William Taylor and Frances Garbutt) was born in Mar 1846 in Wapping, London, England; was christened on 2 Aug 1846 in Wapping, London, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    Notes:

    Cannot find a marriage record for Duncan and Frances, however many years I span. Perhaps they didn't marry!

    • Occupation: 1851, 20 Halifax Street, Stepney, London, England; Warehouse Man

    Notes:

    Given as Bierworth in Baptism Transcription

    Cannot find a marriage date for Henry and Betsy.
    Have looked under various spellings for Henry's surname.
    Nothing can be found looking under" Betsy Scott" either.
    NB
    If Betsy Scott is the right partner and she was born in 1816,then she was only 16 yrs old when daughter Jane was born in 1832.
    DID they ever marry?
    Was Susan Scott her mother? It is quite likely, but without knowing her birth name it is difficult to trace further.

    Name:
    Given as Fincham in 1851 Census

    Henry married Betsy Scott. Betsy (daughter of Susan Scott) was born about 1816 in Sydenham, Greater London, England; died in Jul 1873 in Whitechapel, London, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  2. 9.  Betsy Scott was born about 1816 in Sydenham, Greater London, England (daughter of Susan Scott); died in Jul 1873 in Whitechapel, London, England.

    • Census: 1901, Near Railway Bridge, Station Road, Stratfield Mortimer, Berkshire, England
    • Occupation: 1851, 20 Halifax Street, Stepney, London, England; Tailoress

    Notes:

    Name:
    Unmarried name is deduced from the fact that on the 1851 census there was a Susan Scott (widowed) living with Henry and Betsey. I have assumed it was her mother.

    Notes:

    According to 1851 census, John Scott was born in Devon

    John was either born in Stoke Damerel, Devon, Baptised 4th May 1800 the son of Simon and Mary Ann OR
    Barnstable, Devon 29 January 1800 the son of William and Ann

    There is no way to know which.

    Notes:

    Name:
    Caroline's mother's name was Sarah.

    This is the most likely "Sarah" given dates and times.
    But there's a possibility of inaccuracy.
