James & Sarah were married on the 25th December 1873 in St Lukes Church Chelsea.
1881: lvg. 8 Commercial Building, Lambeth, Surrey
James TILBURY b. c.1850 High Wycombe, Buckingham (Carman)
m. Sarah [CHAMBERLAIN] 4Q 1873 Chelsea (1a/502)
b. c.1850 Clerkenwell (Laundress)
2. Sarah Ann TILBURY b. c.1874 Fulham
My Grandmother always said that she was the youngest of 13 but to date I have only been able to trace 8 of the siblings.
The information I have comes from the 1901 Census. James and Sarah were living at 2 Belmore Street Lambeth at the time the census was taken. It lists their children as follows:
2. William born Lambeth aged 19
2. David born Westminster aged 16
2. Alice born Lambeth aged 14
2. James born Battersea aged 11
2. Harry born Lambeth aged 9
2. Dolly (I think this is Dorothy Amelia) born Lambeth aged 6
2. Ethel (My Grandmother) born Lambeth aged 5
Their first daughter Sarah Ann was married on 10th September 1893 to Alfred Thomas ROFF
James died on the 30th October 1908 in St Thomas' Hospital in London. An inquest was held which recorded the death as accidental. He fell from a cart which then ran over him causing multiple injuries.
I have not been able as yet to find what then happened to him. None of the obvious cemetaries have any record of his burial and I will have to wait until 2009 before I can gain access to his medical records.
I have known about the date of their [James' & Sarah's] marriage for two or three years now and so my family always drink a toast to them before we begin our Christmas dinner on the 25th.

I am a descendant of Joseph & Elizabeth and then their son James who married Sarah Chamberlain in 1873. James & Sarah had William (my grandfather) on 22 December 1881 at 8 Commercial Buildings Lambeth.
William married Florence Alice HICKMAN (my grandmother) on 12 April 1903 at St Peter's Church Vauxhall. They were living at 30 Albert Embankment. (Florence Alice HICKMAN was born 30 August 1882 at 34 Earl Street Southwark.)
William & Florence Alice had 6 children: William (m. Ann), Florence (m. Tom), Maud (m. John), Edith b. 1912 (m. John HAYES), David b. 1912 (m. Alice), Dorothy Amelia b. 2 July 1914, d.1962 (m. James ADAMS 1935) - Dorothy and James are my lovely parents. My father died in 1996 aged 85.
My grandmother Florence Alice died in 1937 at 114 Sancroft Street Kennington SE11.
William then married Josephine KELLY in 1938.
William died on 9 May 1943 in St James Hospital. They were living at 44 Aston House, Wandsworth Road SW8 at the time of his death. Josephine [KELLY] went into a convent following his death (apparently took everything with her!). Amazingly my mother never told me anything of this!
