    Quiney, James Albert

    On the GRO the listing is James Albert Quiney. On freeBMD there is listing for James Alfred Quiney and James Albert Quincy. I'd guess they all refer to the same person and the GRO has the correct name.

    Quiney, James Albert

    Strangely it appear that James Albert's possible mother lists herself as widow in 1911 though her husband is still alive and shacked up with another woman whom he marries after his wife's death. Not all that relevant.

    Quiney, James Albert

    With the goings on between Leonard and Jessie it would seem possible that the 1944 death for James is correct and if Leonard and Jessie were living as man and wife then maybe that Edith listed her father as deceased was a lie.

    There also appear to be another James (Alfred) Quiney b1889ish who married a Florence Baylis and emigrated. The 1911 census in India could be him.

    Hicken family

    Alfred (1875) and Harry (1879) Buckingham were half brothers and Martha Hannah (1868) Buckingham was a half sister (not a full sister). William (1861) and Ruben Thomas (1857-1864) Hicken were full brothers. Martha was incorrectly listed on the 1871 census hence the confusion.

    It look like court 36 was behind 208 (entrance between 206 & 207) and court 35 was behind 203/204. Is the address place of birth or residence because you could be born at the first and not be living there.
