Title: Assistance regarding an address/inquest
Post by: KSD on Monday 01 November 10 20:44 GMT (UK)
I would be grateful for some pointers on the two following points:

1. I have received a copy birth certificate for a Laura Dunn born 25 June 1910.  How can I find out who is living at the address given ( 31 Crossfield Lane, Deptford) in 1911? Is my only option to pay for an address search on Findmypast? I couldn't find an address listed for no. 31

2. A death certificate for my great uncle (James Arthur Greenrod) who died aged 14 (squashed to death in a lift) refers to a certificate received from H R Oswald Coroner for London inquest held on 23 April 1917.  Would I approach the LMA for a copy of the coroner's certificate

Many thanks.

Parents were David Dunn and Edith Loveridge who married in 1910and address given as 6 Bronze Street. In 1911 census Elizabeth Loverage found at that address, described as single and no mention of David and baby Laura

Hi,

The LMA might have the Coroner's Report, if not they might be able to advise which newspaper is likely to have basic report of the proceedings.

I found a Coroner's report (1902 different Coroner) at the LMA.

Good luck!

Do you mean that 18 year old Edith (single ) was found at that address  ;D
But no mention of David or baby Laura?

Hi all

Not sure that we can answer these 1911 queries? Copyright?

KSD - check the age of the person you mentioned? - not the same person?
I agree with Carol - Does Jennifer mean Edith? Elizabeth? (see comment prev.line)
Also take care, there seems to be 2x Dunn around, Edith and Edith K born 1893/4

Edith's father may have put her on the census by mistake.  It doesn't seem likely that she was living at that address, still single, after she had married.

Hi all

.... the Elizabeth Loverage was 12 years old, of course the baby was not around?

Carol asked a question and I answered it. Yes,  Edith was there aged 18 single.

Thanks for the pointers.

I found details of the person living at 31 Crossfield Street but don't know if this is the same as 31 Crossfield Lane. That is as far as I can go on that point.

I am certain that the Edith Loveridge who married David Dunn in 1910 is the Edith Loverage in the 1911 census.  The address is the same. As you say, I think her father may have forgotten she was married.  I can't find David Dunn but maybe he was away in the army.

With regard to the inquest for James Greenrod, I will take that up further.  He was only 14 and had been working for two weeks at the Mazawattee factory at New Cross when he died.
