1840.  Elizabeth Richards marries   Charles Andrews, carpenter, in St. John’s, Waterloo in parish of Southwark, on 13/10/1840. Both are given as full age [ he certainly 19 & 9 mths, she ~19], but 6 mths later, for the Census, they are both recorded as 20. But ages rounded down to nearest 5 in 1841C. [Have been unable to find out what ‘Full Age’ implied in 1840, but think it was considerably lower than today] . His occupation is given as carpenter. His father given as Charles Andrews, carpenter, and hers as John Richards, carpenter. Address is St. George’s Road, and witnesses are T. Neal and M. Bennett.. Thomas Neale is a lodger with them in 1851C!

1842. ‘Mar’. Charles Andrews born. Cannot find any Andrews baptisms in St. George the Martyr, or other protestant churches, 1842 - 1851 . Dot/Vic does not have his b.c. : Vic being descended from him.

1844. ‘Mar’. Elizabeth Margaret Andrews born.

1846. ‘Jun’.  Frederick Thomas Andrews born, 4/4/1846 at 2 Garden Row. [ b.c. from Barbara Balfe]

1849. ‘Mar’. Frances Rebecca Andrews born. Geoffrey does not yet have her b.c. Garden Row[from 1871C]

1850. ‘Jun’.  Hannah Andrews born 9/5/1850 at 2 Garden Row Southwark.  All births registered in St. George, Southwark, apart from Frances in Lambeth. Perhaps the name Hannah was chosen for Charles' grandmother, Hannah James/Andrews c.1748->1782.

But, in fact, both Hannah & Frances were born Garden Row, as indeed was Frederick, according to the 1871C.

1851 Census.  Charles Andrews, 30, carpenter, was living at 2, Garden Row [most of the road has been redeveloped, but (an altered) number 2 is still there: road shown on map - by 1866 entry ], Southwark. All down as born St. George, except his wife Elizabeth and her sister Anne Richards

1851-1861.   It does not seem likely that they had more children as no more in 1861C and no deaths that correspond with Andrews’ births in this period.

1857 & 1858. Listed as a Carpenter in PO Directory , Charles Andrews, Jnr 2 Garden Row. Not listed in 1860, so maybe already moved to Worth?.

Why has he moved away from Southwark with most of his family, but left his wife and eldest son with his parents? It could be that they were just visiting on Census day but I doubt this as daughter Elizabeth marries in Worth in 1865 and he is described as Head of the household in the above Census entry. Thomas Brinkhurst, who Elizabeth marries in 1865, is a carpenter in the 1861C, in Worth, so maybe he worked with Charles Andrews there..

1862. Her 20 year old son, Charles Andrews, marries. . . 17 Oct 1862 at the registry office in St George Southwark - fathers both Charles - Andrews a carpenter, Strange a poulterer, witnesses were Charles Andrews [presumably father] + John Richards [presumably younger, 1834, brother of the groom's mother, Elizabeth Richards]. His address given as St.Georges Rd. Lesley Balfe has m.c.. I think Charles 1842 was also a carpenter, but in this 1861C is a toymaker and is a fancy toy maker in 1887.

 1863. Her father in law, Charles Andrews 1780, dies 22/10/1863 , aged '85' at 61 St. Georges Road. Does her husband,, his son, bring the family back from Worth at this time?

1865. Daughter, Elizabeth, marries Thomas Brinkhurst, a carpenter, in Crawley Down, Sussex. 11 children

1866. Maybe living at 2, Union Street, Southwark, as this is where her mother in law, Margaret Andrews, died 26/11/1866, and her daughter, Frances,17, is the informant and at the same address. Union Street runs N/S just opposite 61 St. Georges Road and parallel to Garden Row, which itself is to east of the green Philanthropic Society on map . This d.c held by Barbara Balfe, details : original can be seen on Margaret Maile page.
