Title: Richmond Eletoral Register look-up, please?
Post by: Jonesy127 on Monday 02 July 12 13:17 BST (UK)
I would very much like to find out where Ruby Rivolta was registered on the Electoral Register around 1907-1908.

I know she was in St John's Grove, Richmond in October 1908, as she gave birth to a son there, but I don't know if that was her registered address.

Any info would be greatly received, as I have a huge brickwall around her that just refuses to come down!!

Note she was born in 1886, so 1907 is as early as I can go.  She was married in 1909 and living in London.

School admission
Ruby Rivolta
Age 7
Birth Date 18th March 1886
Thanet Street School, Camden
Admission Date 20th November 1893
Reference Number: LCC/EO/DIV02/THA/AD/003

I doubt that you will find her on an electoral register c1907 - Most women did not have the vote.

I assume you have her with her parents Joseph and Maud (and siblings Ernest F and Gertrude M) in Battersea in 1891  :-\   RG12/ 430 f 9 p11

Yes thank you Rosie, I have found all her census records and have seen the school records on Anc.  :)

What I don't know is who was the father of her baby son, Jack born 20th October 1908...  ???

So just looking for connections.

If he is not mentioned on the birth certificate/ christening record then that is something I doubt you will ever know.  ???

Very possibly.

The birth in question, I believe, is my grandfather, so I'm finding it hard to give up...

What information does the birth certificate give?  Is there a number for St Johns Grove.

Does his marriage cert give a fathers name - sometimes they can be correct though more often they are fictitious

The address on the birth cert is 21 St John's Grove. The birth was registered by an E. Burgess-Brown, who I believe to be Ellen Burgess-Brown.

She is still at the adresss on the 1911 census with her husband and daughter, and a visitor, Ernest Rivolta (Ruby's brother).

Grandad's marriage cert has no named father.
