Jelf Charles Henry

A

Astonian

gone but not forgotten
Hi Everybody
I Am Researching A Charles Henry Jelf Whomi Believe Was Born Around The 1800.s I Believe He Had A Coffe Shop And A Booking Office In Alma Street Aston In The 1920,s Era. And He Died At169 Tatbank
Rdolbury Worcestershire He Died 27 January 1958
He Had A Wife Called Emma . Elisebeth Any Information Would Be Really Apreciated On This On If Any One Could Say When Where Was He Born Or Whom Was The Mother Thank You
Happy New Year To Every One Astonian ,;;;
 
This is the only likely Charles Jelf I can find, 1901 census, the writing on the original census form is not good, and I can't read the birth places of his parents, both in Worcestershire, transcribed as Wattborough and Grersham I have left the link to the census so you can have a look Astonian. His father Charles was a general labourer

Name:Charles Jelf Age:5 Estimated Birth Year:abt 1896 Relation:Son Father's Name:Charles Mother's Name:Ellen Gender:MaleWhere born: Aston, Warwickshire, England Civil Parish:Aston Manor Ecclesiastical parish:Aston by Birmingham St Peter and St Paul County/Island:Warwickshire Country:England Street address: 9 Victoria Avenue Lichfielod Road

Di I, think Ellen was born in Evesham. It looks as if it has been transcribed as EVERSHAM and Charles was born in WADBOROUGH, which is not far from Pershore.

Hope you agree.:)

Hi Rowan
Many Thanks For Your Input On This One You Are Absoutely Right Onthis One Charles Was From Wadenbrough Worc According To My Records His Wife Ellen I,m Not To Sure Where She Is From
And I Do Not Know Her Maiden Name At This Precise Time Is It Possible You Have Got A Surname For Her Also I Am Knocking Di,
When I Say This Because She Is Usaly Bang On May Be The Records Are Wrong But She Said In The House Hold There S An Ernest
But Ernest Was Williams Son,whom Was Born In Aston B,ham
Along With Ivy , And Billy And The Rest Of Them Come From Worcestshire And There Partners Along With The Hintons
Thanks Rowan For Clarifying On Charles .
Best Wishes Astonian
 
Astonian regarding Ernest he was in the house and shown as Charles son on the day the censuis was taken,, so there can be no doubt. Charles is shown on FamilySearch as born 29th December 1858, Pershore, Worcester, which is where his birth would have been registered, and married to Ellen Driver 27th January 1895, in Birmingham but no church is shown. When you are aapplying for certificates in Birmingham you might like to take your research back a generation and apply for Charles birth certificate, and also his marriage certificate.

Rowan is spot on Ellen was shown on the census as born Evesham, thanks Rowan I couldn't make head or tail of the writing.:)
