William Reverson
This is my doctor: http://search.findmypast.co.uk/recor...53j%2f010%2f04
I remember him - or at least his waiting room - because it was shabby, old fashioned, and dominated by a barograph. This is him in 1901: http://search.findmypast.co.uk/recor...hlights=%22%22 So he is born in Hornsey in 1890, with at least one parent Russian (Warsaw). Can anyone spot him in 1891, or his birth? He started off as a teacher - probably Chemistry teacher if his military record is any guide - became a doctor sometime after WW1 - never married

He has a middle initial of W on the 1901 census but no middle name on his death reg, annoyingly, as I thought it might help with looking for his birth. The death reg does confirm that date of birth though. Will keep looking...

Who would have thought that such an ordinary seeming man would prove so great a mystery?
James Reverson's wife died, he married Lucy Adelaide Von Eckh in 1908 and had a daughter (well, I assume it's theirs!) Julia Nina in December 1908. There is a Brenda Audrey Reverson, whose birth eludes me who is with Julia and her husband in 1939: http://search.findmypast.co.uk/recor...25b%2f016%2f08 Needless to say, I cannot find James, Julia or Brenda in 1911. I assume that this is Lucy's first marriage in 1896: Marriages Jun 1896 (>99%) Blundell-Maple Grace Emily St. Alban's 3a918 Crampton David St Albans 3a918 Eckardstein Hermann J A E St. Albans 3a918 Maple Grace Emily B St. Albans 3a918 VON ECKARDSTEIN Hermann Johannes A E St. Alban's 3a918 Waldock Ada St Albans 3a918 which probably means she is actually Ada Waldock Here is Lucy in 1911, calling herslef Von Eckh again: http://interactive.ancestry.co.uk/23...nSearchResults

I keep thinking the surname should be Leverson or something like that, but that didn't get me anywhere.

There are some Russian Yiddish American immigrants called Reverson.
I cannot make up my mind whether they are lurking, mistranscribed, out of the country, or using entirely different aliases.

I'm sure I saw something about Hermann (the son b 1898) emigrating to Canada (?) which said his father was James not the other Hermann, but I don't remember where I saw that now and lost interest because I was getting nowhere with where William R came from.

The age is a bit off, but isn't this Lucy?
Births Sep 1871 Eyck Lucy Adelaide Warwick 6d 525 So she wasn't married until 1908 but already had two children, but she doesn't seem to be the mother of Julia and Brenda. I suppose if we could find them in 1911 we might find James too. But I couldn't find them! It was Hermann's US Naturalization papers that said his father was James, but I can't find a version I can see online now as I don't have a US sub.

I keep wondering if this is Brenda?
Births Mar 1910 WILLIAMS Brenda Audrey Fulham 1a 161 mainly because I can't find this child in 1911!
