They must be there somewhere??....

Doh! I saw this right at the very start, but hadn't picked up on the youngest child on your list! (was concentrating on Sabina at that point!)

Name: Sophia Elsie Seage
Record Type: Baptism
Date: 12 Jul 1899
Father's Name: John Smith Seage
Mother's Name: Elizabeth Alice Seage
Parish: St John the Divine, Stamford Hill
Borough: Haringey
County: Middlesex

[Merry]

however did you find them?

Looked at Sabinas aged 9/10 living in Edmonton district in 1901, immediately after I had taken in that the next child was Clement Edwin. Glanced at the Smith family on the index and noticed they had an Edwin and then saw Lily and Ada as well. Fully expected the handwriting to be bad, rather than them actually being listed as Smith!

Thanks again Merry

It looks as though John Smith Seage decided to use the middle name as his surname - which I must say is easier than Seage. Not great for future family historians though..lol

Was that last entry from FMP? I have been considering a sub, and it does seem to give a lot of useful information

[Merry]

If you mean the baptism for Sophia Elsie, no, it was from Ancestry.

I have given up with 1881 and 1891.

Do you need to go backwards with this family? In 1861 there's a child listed as John Smith b Exeter aged 6. He is a boarder in the home of William and Ann Seage, both aged 58. On the following census Wm and Ann are together with noone else and I can't find John.

*doh!* I saw those blinky Smiths too!

Thankyou Merry, no at this stage we have enough to work on, so won't go back further until we have sorted all the information out - and inwardly digested it all.

I am very grateful for your contribution, it has really helped, I don't think I would ever have found them on my own with the Smith twist!......................eeek!!
