Woodford and East London Pluckroses
Origins
Daniel Pluckrose's origins are unknown at present. He could be the Daniel (PL 2084 in Tree 1011) who was christened in Gilston in 1771 - son of John Pluckrose and Mary Petchey. Gilston is some way from Woodford, however.
Points of interest
| PL No | Surname | Forenames | Notes |
| 2146 | AUSTIN | Harriett | C1881: a machinist, born Maidstone, 1845; C1901: she is widowed and living with her daughter, Ethel Daisy, husband, Arthur Few, and working as an upholstress. The census was taken on 31 March 1901 and the death of her husband was recorded in the April-June quarter of 1901 so she must have been very recently widowed. Her own death was recorded very soon after. |

| 1535 | HODGES | Mary | Found in 1851 and 1881 censuses. |
| 2157 | HOYE | Eliza | 1861, 1871, 1881 censuses. Eliza's father was a thatcher. |
| 2121 | JACOBS | Rosetta | C1901: 17, unmarried, rope spinner, b. Bethnal Green. |
| 2096 | KILBEY | Isabella | C1871; C1881; C1891: NF. |
| 2103 | LOCK | Hannah Bloye | 1891C, 1901C |
| 2089 | MONK | Fanny | C1841: there is a 3 year old Mary Pluckrose in the household. It is not obvious where she belongs since there is another Mary born in 1842 and no death in the GRO index; C1851; C1861; C1871 (widowed and living with son, George) |
| 2152 | MUSGROVE | Sarah | There is a possible burial in Woodford Bridge on 12 April 1829, aged 55 years - calc birth in 1774. |
| 2026 | PICKERSGILL | Sarah Ann Thompson | C1901 |
| 2032 | PLEDGER | Mary Louise | C1901 |
| 2848 | PLUCKROSE | Ada | Illegitimate birth, known as Ada Chorley after her mother's marriage. No marriage found but the death of an Ada Chorley in Dartford, Kent, in 1973 fits. |
| 2099 | PLUCKROSE | Ada Fanny | C1871; C1881; C1891 living with brother Henry and his family. Married in 1896, recorded as Fanney Ada in the GRO index. She had four children: Ernest Henry (1899-1908), Alfred William (1901-1903), Isabella Agnes (6.4.1903-9.3.1891) and William George (8.12.1905-1965). She died, at the age of 36, of a heart attack. She also had an illegitimate daughter, Ada (5.10.1893) who became part of the Chorley family after her marriage. |
| 2088 | PLUCKROSE | Alexander | C1851: (b.1814), C1861: (b.1812). Age at death was 60 which suggests a birth in 1809. In the 1861 census there are two other family members, a niece, Mary A Pluckrose, (unmarried, a general servant), and a granddaughter, Ann Pluckrose, born in Woodford in 1860. The only evidence linking Daniel and Alexander (on 20 Dec 2007) is circumstantial. In the 1841 census Alexander, Thomas and Joseph are living at the same address in Woodford. Their ages (20, 30 and 20 respectively - rounded for the census) makes it likely that they are brothers. |
| 2027 | PLUCKROSE | Alexander George | C1891; C1901 (Alec); |
| 2122 | PLUCKROSE | Alexander George | No marriage or death found in GRO indexes. |
| 2101 | PLUCKROSE | Alfred George | C1881; C1901: carman, living with his in-laws. George Alfred at death, and at marriage, George in 1901 census, so birth name wrong, or fell out of favour? |
| 2175 | PLUCKROSE | Alice | C1861 |
| 2761 | PLUCKROSE | Alice Ada | Known from the 1881 census. There isn't a birth recorded for Alice Ada in the GRO index. There is a record at about the right time for: Jane Eliza Pluckrose, Lambeth 1d, 301 in Q3 1871. This may be another person, the census could be wrong, or perhaps the family decided to change her name. |
| 2168 | PLUCKROSE | Alice Jane | C1861; C1871 in Paddington with mother; C1881: married, with 2 children. |
| 2092 | PLUCKROSE | Ann | C1851 |
| 2161 | PLUCKROSE | Ann Sarah | C1841 |
| 2018 | PLUCKROSE | Arthur Henry | C1881; C1901. He called himself Henry Arthur when he married. |
| 2034 | PLUCKROSE | Arthur Thomas | In 1901 census. |
| 2153 | PLUCKROSE | Caroline | C1841: NF; C1851: NF; C1861: living in Camberwell, unmarried, aged 40, born in Woodford, charwoman, a lodger in the Jennings household; C1871: married and living in Camberwell. When she married in 1864 she gave her age as 40 (not 49 - a lady's privilege?), her spouse, Henry, was a 35 year old widower and a house painter, her father, Daniel. a cordwainer, Henry's father, James, a carpenter. The marriage took place a few months after the marriage of her daughter, Mary Ann. |
| 1540 | PLUCKROSE | Caroline | In 1851 census. Marriage to William confirmed by 1901 census. Is William Samuel Rudland related to the Arthur Rudland who married her niece Emily Caroline ? |
| 2019 | PLUCKROSE | Caroline Mary | In 1881 census. Married in 1893; living at 67 Union Road, West Ham, in 1901, with 2 children; husband a self-employed plumber. Is her husband (Walter Richard Robinson) related to her mother (Mary Ann Robinson) - a cousin ? |
| 2767 | PLUCKROSE | Charles Edward | C1901: aged 7, but probably a mistake for 9. He may have been a twin. There is a death registered in Lambeth in the same quarter as Charles's birth was registered: Walter Alfred, age 0. There is already a Walter Alfred, born in 1875, but if this one died at birth he may simply have been given his father's names. A certificate would answer this question. |
| 2169 | PLUCKROSE | Charles George | Not with his widowed mother in the 1871 census. |
| 2020 | PLUCKROSE | Charlotte | C1881. |
| 2763 | PLUCKROSE | Charlotte Harriett | C1881; C1891; C1901: A possible entry at 59 Newburn St, Lambeth: Charlotte WILMOT, head, married, 21, charwoman, born Lambeth; and daughter Maggie aged 1. No sign of husband. Banns published 22, 29 Nov and 6 Dec, married 19 Dec 1896. |
| 2110 | PLUCKROSE | Edith Isabel | C1901; |
| 2095 | PLUCKROSE | Edward | C1861: age 9, scholar; C1871; a soldier in the 2/16th Regiment of foot at Canterbury Barracks. County of birth given as Kent, but this is probably an error. Not found after 1871. |
| 2036 | PLUCKROSE | Edward | In the 1881 census he is a 1 week old in the Union with his unmarried mother. |
| 2158 | PLUCKROSE | Edward Joseph | Link based on (1) father named Daniel on marriage certificate and (2) place of birth Woodford in 1861 census. In 1841 census of South Hackney with Ann, four children, and ? father-in-law. His occupation is commercial traveller. In 1861 he is in Islington with second wife Mary Ann, 4 children, sister-in-law (Eliza Taylor, 36, unmarried, dressmaker) and a servant (Martha Higgs). Occupation: traveller (vinegar). Perry's Bankrupt and Insolvent Gazette records (on 1 January 1837) that Edward Joseph Pluckrose of Munster Street, Regents's Park, oilman, was applying to be discharged from insolvency: Court House, Portugal Street, 16th Jan at nine. Perry's Bankrupt and Insolvent Gazette records (on 2 May 1848) that Edward Joseph Pluckrose of Kingsland Road, Middlesex, tea dealer and grocer was to appear in Court at Basinghall Street - petitioning creditor: John Flower, Fore Street, Cripplegate, tea dealer. He was presumably declared bankrupt because Perry records that John Flower was assigned Edward's estates on 1 June 1848. A further record in Perry notes a meeting "For Allowance of Certificates on 29 August 1848. |
| 2162 | PLUCKROSE | Edward Joseph | C1841. Not found in later censuses. No death found. |
| 2035 | PLUCKROSE | Elizabeth | Known primarily from the 1871 census. Although she is recorded as Elizabeth Pluckrose in the 1871 census a birth registration can not be found in the GRO index. However, since her birth precedes her mother's marriage, the following record is probably relevant: Q4 1866 Elizabeth Robinson, West Ham 4a 9. In the 1881 census Elizabeth is an inmate in the West Ham Union and School at Leyton with a one week old child, Edward. Edward dies within a few weeks. I have not found any further records (marriage, death or census) for Elizabeth. |
| 2100 | PLUCKROSE | Elizabeth Ann | C1881; C1901: a barmaid. Possible marriage in 1902 to either Edward Thomas PICKUP or George John BROWN. |
| 2760 | PLUCKROSE | Emily Alice | C1881;C1901: single, laundress, living with parents. Married in 1909; husband identified via Free BMD with 3 children born in the Ware RD in 1914, 1917 and 1920 with the surname Cross and mmn Pluckrose. |
| 2017 | PLUCKROSE | Emily Caroline | C1881; C1901: living at 26 Bristol Road, West Ham, with three childen; Arthur a cash machine smith. |
| 2166 | PLUCKROSE | Emily Mary | Sarah Garland's husband's great grandmother. There were several children: Emily Edith b. Sidcup, 1875; Ethel S. b. Sidcup, 1876; Edward Joseph b. Sidcup, 11 Mar 1880; Minnie Gertrude b.1885; George b. Sidcup,1892 and Frank b. Sidcup, 1893. C1861; C1901: family living at 5 Osborne Terrace, Foots Cray, Joseph - a gardener (not domestic) b. Chipstead in 1851. |
| 2022 | PLUCKROSE | Ethel | In 1881 and 1891 censuses. In 1901 she is still living at home; occupation - mantle machinist. There is a possible marriage: Q4 1904, West Ham 4a 547 to either Alfred Ashford or Herbert Charles Butler. |
| 2149 | PLUCKROSE | Ethel Daisy | C1881 |
| 3242 | PLUCKROSE | Florence Louise | Two sons, Trevor and David Wooley. |
| 2765 | PLUCKROSE | Frederick Joseph | C1891; C1901. |
| 2102 | PLUCKROSE | Frederick William | C1881; C1891 living with his brother Henry and his family. no children found post 1912. |
| 2094 | PLUCKROSE | George | C1851; C1861; C1871: (living in Woodford with his widowed mother); C1881: NF; C1891; C1901: dock labourer, living in Mile End. |
| 1534 | PLUCKROSE | George John | A christening record that would definitely link George to Daniel has not yet been found. The link is based on two pieces of evidence: (1) George and Mary's marriage certificate shows George's father as Danl Pluckrose, dead. Daniel's death was registered March Q 1841. (2) The 1851 census records George's place of birth as Woodford. George is living in Woodford (probably in lodgings) in 1841 and he marries, in St Pancras, about 8 weeks later. Perhaps the death of his father provided the necessary stimulus (or release). I believe his mother was already dead, she does not show up in the 1841 census, and there is a possible burial in Woodford in 1829. George's wife Mary was from Scotland. George and his family are living at 2 Vicarage Lane in 1871. In 1881 only George and Mary are present but his son, Henry, and his family, are living in the same street. |
| 1539 | PLUCKROSE | George John | C1881: upholsterer, b. Wanstead, 1850. |
| 2147 | PLUCKROSE | George John | In the 1881 census. No later records (census or death) found. |
| 2766 | PLUCKROSE | George Richard | C1891; C1901; |
| 2105 | PLUCKROSE | Hannah | C1901 |
| 2090 | PLUCKROSE | Henry | C1841: aged 1; C1851; C1861; C1871; C1881. |
| 1538 | PLUCKROSE | Henry | C1851; C1871 and 1881: Henry and his family are living at 7 Vicarage Gardens, in West Ham, his parents are living in the same street in 1871 and 1881; C1891: still living at 7 Vicarage Gardens; C1901: moved to No 1. |
| 2097 | PLUCKROSE | Henry | C1871; C1881; C1891; C1901. |
| 2130 | PLUCKROSE | Henry | No obvious marrige found. |
| 2148 | PLUCKROSE | Henry Thomas | Recorded as Thomas in 1881 census. No later records found. There were two Henry Thomas births registered in 1876. |
| 3243 | PLUCKROSE | Iris Margaret | Two children: Corinne, b. 1952, Ilford and Robert Anthony Sean, b. 1959, Ilford. |
| 2098 | PLUCKROSE | Isabella | C1871; C1881; C1891: a domestic servant in Hornsey, unmarried; C1901: married to Sidney (a house painter), no children. |
| 2160 | PLUCKROSE | James | C1841. C1851: there are three people living at 6 St Jude Street, Bethnal Green. [1] James Pluckrose, head, tailor, aged 23, unmarried, born in Greenwich; [2] Eliza Pluckrose, daughter, aged 18, unmarried, born in Finsbury, and [3] Joseph Sindell, relative, tailor, aged 26, born in Finsbury and unmarried. Eliza's age and place of birth fit Eliza Wilcox who married James in 1852. C1861: James is married with wife, Elizabeth, and 3 children, living in Stepney and working as a clerk. None of family found in the 1871 census or subsequently, but there is a possible death for James in Bethnal Green in 1869. |
| 2176 | PLUCKROSE | James Joseph Charles | C1861 |
| 2155 | PLUCKROSE | Joseph | The linking of Joseph here is speculative. It is based on (1) being found in the same household as Thomas, (son of Daniel), in the 1841 census, and (2) Daniel and Sarah being the most likely parents in Woodford - they were married in 1797 and must have had more children than listed in this tree. C1841: in Woodford, unmarried ag lab.; C1851: in Woodford, unmarried baker; C1861: in Chigwell, unmarried cattle drover and general servant. Not found in 1871. |
| 2163 | PLUCKROSE | Joseph Samuel | C1841. In 1851 Joseph (and his younger brother Walter) were living in North Road, Hornsey, in what might have been a small school. The head of the household was Susannah Perry, widow, 28, occupation governess. Also in the house were her brother (a cooper) a male teacher (unmarried, 22) and seven scholars. This is in the period between the death of their mother and their father's remarriage. In 1861 Joseph is living in Shoreditch, alone, unmarried, working as a carpenter and undertaker. Not found in 1871. In 1881, 1891 and 1901 living in Hackney and Stoke Newington with Louisa, no children. |
| 2174 | PLUCKROSE | Katharine Elizabeth | C1861. Her name is Kathleen in the GRO birth index. |
| 2108 | PLUCKROSE | Lilian | Birth is from Philip Pluckrose's website - confirmation of assignment to these parents is needed. |
| 2170 | PLUCKROSE | Lilly Edith | C1861; C1871: in Paddington with mother; C1881: in Marylebone with mother. |
| 2030 | PLUCKROSE | Martha Eleanor | C1901. |
| 1536 | PLUCKROSE | Mary | C1851; C1861: servant; C1871: NF, but there is a possible marriage in 1863. |
| 2091 | PLUCKROSE | Mary | 1851C, 1861C |
| 2182 | PLUCKROSE | Mary Ann | C1841: not found, neither is her mother, Caroline. C1851: in household of Alexander Pluckrose of Woodford Bridge (PL2088), aged 13, born West Ham, niece. C1861: still in Alexander's household, unmarried, general servant, born in Woodford, described as niece. C1871:born in Woodford (age 30). C1881: born in Braintree (age 44). In 1891 born Woodford (age 48). In 1901 born Woodford, (age 50). Her marriage certificate records Alexander in the place of her father. In the days before formal adoption procedures he appears, to all intents and purposes, to have been her her adoptive father. Her birth certificate does not name her father, neither does it name her (recorded as "female), but all the evidence points to Mary Ann being the illegitimate daughter of Caroline, and being adopted by her uncle. |
| 2021 | PLUCKROSE | Mary Ann | In 1881 census. Married in the December quarter of 1900 to Frederick Boreham. There is only one couple on this page according to the Free BMD entry but I can not find them in the 1901 census. |
| 2033 | PLUCKROSE | Mary Louisa | C1901. |
| 2128 | PLUCKROSE | Morris | The death is registered with the name Maurice James PLUCKROSE. This must be Morris because (1) the birth date is given as April 1917 and (2) there is no other possible male birth within that period in the GRO index. No marriage found. |
| 2029 | PLUCKROSE | Rosetta | C1901. |
| 2093 | PLUCKROSE | Sarah | C1851; C1861 |
| 1537 | PLUCKROSE | Sarah Ann | C1851. There is a possible marriage to George ATKINS, Q1 1866, West Ham 4a, 3. |
| 2028 | PLUCKROSE | Sarah Elizabeth | C1901. There were two children born in the Epping RD: John J in 1911 and Ivy E M in 1914. |
| 2154 | PLUCKROSE | Thomas Richard | The censuses tell a mixed story: 1841, a shoemaker, unmarried 1851: shoemaker, born Woodford 1820, married to Sarah, born ?Hendon, 1817. 1861: shoemaker, born Woodford Bridge 1821, married to Eliza, born Woodford Bridge, 1812 1871: shoemaker, born Woodford, 1822, married to Eliza, born Elmdon, 1815. 1881: shoemaker, born Woodford, 1822, married to Eliza, born Theydon, 1812. I can't find a record of an earlier marriage to Sarah so I suspect that "Sarah in 1851 was actually Eliza. Eliza's age varied a bit and I suspect that she had no idea where she was born, and couldn't remember what she said at the previous census. |
| 2164 | PLUCKROSE | Walter Alfred | C1861: printer's apprentice; C1871: see note for brother Samuel. C1881: compositor. C1891: no occupation listed but recorded as a worker; unemployed? Birthplace recorded as Woodford??; C1901: printer's compositor, age 57 born Lambeth. Death: his age is 4-5 years out but otherwise he fits. |
| 2762 | PLUCKROSE | Walter Alfred | C1881; C1901: NF. There is a possible death in Leeds in 1915. |
| 2764 | PLUCKROSE | William Charles | C1891; C1901: NF. |
| 3270 | PLUCKROSE | William George | No marriage found in GRO index. |
| 2104 | PLUCKROSE | William Henry | C1891; C1901 |
| 3277 | PORTER | Rose Elizabeth | A possible child is Diane, born Q3 1953, Westminster. |
| 2016 | ROBINSON | Mary Ann | C1901. Parents: John and Jane Robinson. Anne Pluckrose 14/2/06. |
| 2759 | RUDD | Charlotte Harriett | C1881; C1891; C1901. |
| 2178 | STAFFORD | Henry | C1871: a house painter, living in Camberwell, b. Stratford (Essex) c. 1827. |
| 2165 | TAYLOR | Mary Ann | C1861; C1871: widowed and living with Alice and Lilly in Paddington; C1881: living with Lily in Marylebone; C1891: NF; C1901: living with her married daughter (Alice Jane) in Twickenham. |
| 2109 | WATLING | Mary | C1901; |
| 2173 | WILCOX | Eliza | C1861 |
| 3268 | WILLMOTT | John Alfred | Willnott and Willmott both occur in the records. His birth is recorded in the GRO index as: John Hardley Willmott. |
| 3276 | WRIGHT | Florence Eleanor | There are a couple of possible children in the GRO index: Barbara A, born Staines Q2 1945, and, Margaret S, born Brentford Q3 1947. However, George A Pluckrose married Louisa WRIGHT in Stepney in 1943, so we can't be sure. |
