In 1911 Albert Marjoram, then 15, worked as a van guard for the London & South West Railway. He lived with his family in 3 rooms at 2 Kibworth Street, Dorset Road. His father, William Marjoram, 55, was a night watchman born in Lambeth. His mother, Ruth Marjoram, 54, was from Manchester. The couple had had 15 children, of whom 7 had not survived. Three lived at home:
Elizabeth Marjoram, 21, an ironer, born in South Lambeth
James Marjoram, 19, born in South Lambeth, no occupation given
Albert Marjoram, 15, a van guard, born in South Lambeth
The census lists the family as “Marjoram”.
Albert Marjeram’s older brother William Marjeram, 36, a coal man, lived at 8 Alfred Court, South Lambeth, with his wife, Florence, and his four children.
