Searching for any information/family of the above. John Giles b. c1808 in Reading, Berkshire, married Elizabeth Ash in 1834. They had a child John Giles b.1833 in Shoreditich. Elizabeth died in 1836 and John remarried to Eleanor (Elester)Lines in Oct 1836. They had 6 more children, Henry, William, Robert Abbott, Elizabeth E, Mary Ann and Eliza Giles. I have been unsuccessful in tracing any history/connections to my GG Grandfather other than the Census records to 1851.

Census 1871:

Address: Nelson St, Bethnal Green County: London, Middlesex

GILES, John Head M 63 1808 Berkshire Reading
GILES, Mary A Daughter F 23 1848 Middlesex Shoreditch Envelope folder
GILES, John Son M 15 1856 Middlesex Shoreditch Book binder

Can't make out John's occupation or marital status.

Census 1881 Living with son Robert:

Address: 11, Livermere Rd, Shoreditch County: London, Middlesex

GILES, Robert A Head Married M 39 1842 Vellum Binder Shoreditch, Middlesex
GILES, Elizabeth A Wife Married F 37 1844 Shoreditch, Middlesex
GILES, John G Father Married M 73 1808 Vellum Endorser (B?b)
Reading, Berkshire<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Census 1891 Living with widowed daur in law (Robert's wife?):

Address: 13, Loanda Street, Shoreditch, London County: London

GILES, John G Head Widower M 85 1806 Endorser Station Reading, Berkshire
GILES, Elizabeth A Daughter In Law Widow F 47 1844 House Keeper Domestic Shoreditch, London

Son Robert's death seems to have been recorded as Robert Albert rather than Abbott:

Deaths Sep 1886 Giles Robert Albert 44 Shoreditch 1c 116

Seems to have been registered as Robert Albert at birth as well:

Births Dec 1841 Giles Robert Albert Shoreditch 2 403

I can't find John and Eleanor in 1861:

wow, thanks. Lot more than I could find. It helps when you know where and how to look. I will try to follow up with this info. Thanks for your help and if you come across any more info, it will be greatly appreciated.
One question: 1871 Census = GILES, John Son M 15 1856 Middlesex Shoreditch Book binder. Am I to assume that GGG grandfather John had another son and named him John as well? As my GG grandfather was John Giles b 1833.

Is this the baptism of John born 1833?

Re: the John Giles b 1856 shown on the 1871 - I'm wondering if he was actually a grandson mis-recorded?

Thanks very much. The baptism of John 1833 in Shoreditch is correct. IJust information about his parents and siblings is the mystery. Can't find anything about his dad's death date/place, nor any info on his step mother and siblings other than the Census
