Im still having trouble. Can anyone please help now I have sent for the birth certificate of George William Chubb b10 March 1884 in Chelsea. Father looks as if could be Henry ( occ -plumber) not Harry. Mother is Elizabeth Jane Chubb, formerly Kingston. Born at 93 Robert Street, I presume Chelsea. I still cannot find them, even on street search. I cant even find a marriage of Harry(Henry) and Elizabeth Jane

I've found a Henry Chubb who is a Plumber in the 1881 census, living at 29 Summerland Place, Plymouth. Henry is 25 years old and born in Devonport. His wife Elizabeth J is 24 years old and born in Plymouth, and they have a son Francis H aged 2 and born in Plymouth.
No that doesn't appear to be them even though the occupation and wife's name ties in, as Francis died in Plymouth in 1899.

thanks craft. Its so annoying. I thought when I got the birth cert, everthing would fall into place but there are so many that could fit but then something else rules it out. Its a real mystery. Its strange that I cant even find the address in the census. Thanks for your help anyway. I`ll keep hunting
in 1911 searching by address the only areas of London that have a Robert Street with numbering in the 90's are St Pancras and Plumstead. I can't find the district which goes up to 93, only the one that goes up to number 38!!

I know craft. Im getting frustrated by it. I shall have to get my son who lives not far from Chelsea to check the library electoral rolls etc ( I mean beg) he never has time to relax, let alone do this. Maybe next time Im down there visiting. Thanks again

Still cant find them but something interesting just popped up when I googled Robert Street, Chelsea. It appears that Thomas Crapper was apprentice to a plumber on Robert Street and then in 1861 set up his own business as we know invented the syphon and ballcock toilet cistern. Theres a photo of all his employees outsdie his shop too. Ive written to the firm who are still going, and they even have a FB page, and are going to find out if this Henry/Harry Chubb worked for him and see if theres any other info they can give me. Im so excited that hopefully this might be a breakthrough. I will be going down there sometime in the summer and go into it more deeply though.
Just thought I would keep you updated
