I have the Axam family and the 3 I would expect on the 1939 register don't seem to appear at all :confused:

Marriages Sep 1931
Axam George Dempsey Greenwich 1d 2477

Dempsey Jane Axam Greenwich 1d 2477

Births Dec 1932
Axam Jane P Dempsey Greenwich 1d 1048

Births Mar 1934
Axam Dorothy M Dempsey Greenwich 1d 1061

Deaths Mar 1935
Axam Dorothy M 1 Woolwich 1d 1193

Births Jun 1942
Axam Shirley Dempsey Greenwich 1d 836

Deaths Mar 1965
Trower Shirley 22 Dartford 5B 508

Perhaps I'm missing something obvious, not difficult these days :D

Well, can't find them either - do you have any addresses from the children's baptisms that might give a clue?
I assume George was born 1910 to Arthur and Matilda - you don't happen to know his dob?
 
George and Jane, along with a redacted entry, can be found at 37 Escreet Grove, Woolwich. FMP have the surname as ARAM. I found them by going to the 1939 Register record set and searching for A*am with the location stipulated as Greenwich. They also have Jane recorded as Joyce :rolleyes:

I’ll submit a correction to FMP.

I couldn't find any baptisms, only GRO entries, Molly, as for George I hadn't got that far back yet. It was Shirley Axom that started all this as she is my niece's maternal granndmother, thank you for the help :)

Thank you for finding that out Ann, I had tried with name varients switched on but still had no results, I will chase that down.
Again many thanks to both of you for your help, it really is appreciated :)

As I have them to hand -

1911 census - 46 Stanley Road, Stratford
Arthur (that's what the original says) Axam b1880
Matilda b1881
George b1910
Mary King MIL b1857 wid
Horace King b 1896 BIL

1921 census at 8 Kate's Place N. Woolwich -
Arthur is now Samuel George b1880
Matilda Margaret b1881
George b1910
Alice b1912
Horace b1915
Arthur b 1917
William b1920

Samuel George Axam married Matilda Margaret King 1900
 
If the 1939 register was taken on 29th September then Matilda Margaret was buried on 4th September at Greenwich. Arthur Samuel buried in 1941. Is this Arthur/Samuel George? If so then the family seem to change their names!

Thanks Sue, the name changes had been bothering me too :confused: especially as there is another Samuel George flloating around! However it looks like he was still Arthur in 1928

I have found the marriage for Samuel George & Matilda Margaret that MollyMay kindly pointed me to, so far so good, but the I found this:
Marriages Sep 1914
Axam Samuel G Gerrans Islington 1b 448
Gerrans Clara E Axam Islington 1b 448
Try as I might I cannot find an alternative Samuel G or any variations of Arthur birth records but I have dual census records for Axam Samuel G & Samuel George, 1921, 1939. I hope this makes sense :) , could he be leading a double life?? :nailbiting: :eek:, also I can find no explanation for Arthur in 1911 census & on the 1939 register as in last post. Confused isn't the word :confused:
Now looking at Electoral Registers
