I think so, because the description of enumeration district 47 says part is in the parish of St Pancras, and Collier Street, where the "other" Frederick Searle lived in 1883, is right near to there as well. That York Road seems to have been split up into terraces, so I wonder whether number 64 had another street address as well. Winchester Street doesn't seem to be there any more but it looks as though it was in that area too.

I don't know, Libby, but I suspect not because I've come across one or two entries in these school admissions where the year of birth is wrong or the date of birth is different on different sheets for the same child.

1891:

schedule 236 for 62 & 64 York Road Islington Islington London (FMP)

Maybe the neighbours could take us back?

What about that Historic Directories website?

That's right! I forgot I looked at York Road on there yesterday! Though of course I didn't have a house number to look for then.

1882 has YORK ROAD (N) from King's Crs to Camden N twn
... here is Wharfedale rd...
62 & 64 Layfield Charles, coffee rooms

Well there's 24 Freds reg in Holborn in the right Q....lol

Couldn't use a rare name could they????

So, on the 1881 census, Chas Wm Layfield, coffee house keeper, is at Augusta Ter, 62 York Road, no of houses inhabited 2. There are no Searles there.

That would be way too easy!

[HarrysMum]

Just so you know.....

I've been through every Fred anybody for the possible districts in the time frame.
Then matched up any Charlottes or Lucys for same.

The only one that shows up at all is the surname FRANCIS

Frederick Francis..... Poplar Mar 1877, Holborn Sep 1878, Holborn Dec 1878

Charlotte Matilda Francis..... Lambeth June 1882,
Charlotte Elizabeth Francis......St Olave Dec 1882

Lucy Maud Francis....Poplar Dec 1884

My geography of London is rubbish so don't laugh if they are nowhere near each other. They are just the only registered children with the right first names and same surname in those years.

Thanks, Libby. Not really in the right area, though.

[HarrysMum]

I thought as much.

In that case, either they weren't registered or the years are wrong. Can't see all three being missing off the reg if they were done.
Can't think of any other reason we can't find them.
