Family of Thomas Fippen and Caroline Emma Dowell, 1939?

Marriage:
2 Nov 1902 (age 20)
Address: Hoxton, London
Louisa was her younger sister of the bride; the other witness Thomas Dowell was the bride's father. Why a member of the groom's family did not act as a witness is not known. However, the groom's oldest child from his previous marriage, Thomas Fippen, would have been too young at 11 and his parents although still alive were in the Shoreditch Workhouse so probably did not attend the wedding. From the date of birth of their first child, Caroline (10 April 1903), it seems that the bride may have been pregnant when she went to the altar. As the couple were living at the same address at the time of their marriage there may have been an opportunity for this to happen. Who else was at the wedding is not known but Thomas' wife Rebecca who was the Bride's mother would almost certainly have been present and probably her siblings.
Census for household:
2 Apr 1911 (age 29)

The household consisted of Thomas, his wife Caroline and their children Arthur William (age 7), May Elenor (age 5) & Mary Ethel (age 6 months). They shared the house with two other families, one of 4 and the other of 5, each of which had 2 rooms. This made a total of 14 people occupying 6 rooms.

Their son Graham was living with them and they has a lodger John Birt. Both are unmarried. George is shown as being incapacitated and Caroline is working as a cardboard box maker. Interesting in the 1901 Census she is shown as a fancy paper box maker which seems to indicate that in 1939 she was probably making fancy cardboard boxes. Their son is working as a publisher’s messenger and their lodger as a Floor Inspector for a firm of aircraft component engineers.
