John Eagle born 1835/1840 poss Scotland lived London died 1904
I would like to find birth and parents of my great grand father John EAGLE. Nothing on IGI that corresponds AFAIK.
He was reported in census as follows:
1881 aged 45 born Strand Middx = born 1835/6
1891 aged 53 London (no suburb) = born 1837/8
1901 aged 61 Edinburgh Scotland = born 1839/40
Died Nov 1904 age 67 = born 1836/7
So we have some confusion he was born 1835-1840
and it now seems in Scotland which fits family lore
I am sure it is him two addresses the same - same wife Jane (age always consistent)
and same job dyer garment cleaner
Interesting about the age is that it always plus 8 years whereas Jane could add by 10
maybe he spoke with brogue - a granddaughter recalled a Kilt being worn
Now do I search for baptism/birth in Strand or Scotland
looked a bit at Edinburgh records - nothing
I think first marriage cert - off to St Caths (ok NSW State Lib and GRO)
John and Jane had a large family and my grandfather was David William Eagle who married Elizabeth Robbins who had 15 children. My mother Daisy Louise was 13th. They lived in Hounslow Middx and then Shepherds Bush.
But if anyone has any knowledge of John or any connection please advise. This board is great because I already found a grandson of one of Mum's brothers.
