Notes:

Grandpa (always called George). I have assumed the 1901 census household indicated is correct because:
- Birth place and date are correct.
- Sarah is given as married but same name as parents
- George would be a VERY late child for Sarah's mother.
- I remember some family talk of a Kent connection.
- At her later marriage to Thomas Muse Sarah gives her father's name as Noah (though she crossed out Hughes and put Norris.

James married Gladys Ruby Boyton on 4 Nov 1916 in West Ham, London, England. Gladys (daughter of David Boyton and Florence Maud King) was born on 10 Aug 1895 in Sudbury, Suffolk, England; died on 5 Jan 1980 in 42 Collier Row Lane, Romford, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Grandma. Her family maybe lived in Francis Road Leyton in 1914.

Notes:

Roy Hughes says they both belonged to cycling clubs (women's and men's) and met in the Wake Arms south of Epping on the A11.

Notes:

Impossible to get further here, since they were unmarried, and we don't know his name. Dad thought he was James George but...

Unknown married Sarah Anne Hughes. Sarah (daughter of Noah Hughes and Ellen Norris) was born on 27 Mar 1863 in Marylebone, London, England; was christened on 31 May 1863 in Christ Church, St Marylebone, London, England; died on 25 Mar 1927 in 6 Oakbury Rd, South Fulham, London, England.

Notes:

I have assumed the 1901 census household indicated is correct because:
-Birth place and date are approximately correct - she may not have known she was born in Marylebone and guessed at Bethnal Green like her sister.
-Sarah is given as married but same name as parents
-George would be a VERY late child for Sarah's mother.
-I remember some family talk of a Kent connection.
-At her later marriage to Thomas Muse Sarah gives her father's name as Noah (though she crossed out Hughes and put Norris.

Her son (James) George was my Grandfather. His father was said to be a deceased theatrical artiste on Grandpa's marriage certificate. Grandpa was vehemently against him according to Dad.
Grandpa's mother later married Thomas Muse who had a house in Suffolk. An A Muse was a witness at Grandpa's marriage, along with Grandma's parents. Almost all the Muse's in the 1901 census are in the north of England.
Dad remembers a Fox, known as 'uncle' who had a lot of property in Stoke Newington. He used to ride around on his bicycle repairing and taking rents. Grandpa joked that he would inherit the property since he was the only living relative.

Notes:

Great Grandfather. I remember he had a large and very prickly moustache.
Roy says he failed in the fish business (lots of others in the family also in fish) and moved to Francis Road, London about 1914.

David married Florence Maud King on 4 Jan 1894 in Sudbury, Suffolk, England. Florence (daughter of Jonathan King and Susannah Willet Prior) was born on 9 Jan 1876 in Sudbury, Suffolk, England; died on 14 Feb 1971 in Streatham, Surrey, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

She would have been only 18 when Ivy was born, and David would have
been 5 years older. I remember her - a tiny lady, always twinkling,
with a lovely scent I've always associated with her - lavender maybe, or 4711?
