Title: Queen Mary's Hospital, Carshalton
Post by: patty_in_ms on Sunday 14 February 16 01:28 GMT (UK)
I would be so grateful if someone would look up some information when they are doing their own research.  My aunt's mother was a WWI Canadian War Bride who died young, so her memories of her are few.  I got the marriage certificate, searched the Censuses and birth records, but have been unable to find where she was born and lived before this time.  Emily Budd, daughter of Harry Budd (deceased) married William Charles Offord on August 31st, 1918 at All Saints Church, Carshalton. Her address was listed as Queen Mary's Hospital, Carshalton.  She is listed as William's next-of-kin living at No. 1. Pearl Street Cottage. Winkfield, Nr Windsor, Berks.

I think the hospital staff records will shed more light on where she came from.  With that information, I could find out her parents' names and any brothers and sisters to tell my aged aunt.  Thanks for any help with this!

Emily Irene Offord    8/12

William travelled out to Canada on the Tunisian on 10 Feb 1919 with other soldiers he was a Private.

He died age 30 as a result of an accident on 17th Nov 1922.

Emily Budd is proving very hard to pin down. We started looking for William in the hope that there would be clues when we found the two of them together,as to Emily's date or place or birth.
But so far Rosie and I are stumped on this one.

Her father's name may not be Harry,if she was illegitimate or her dad died when she was very young it may be the first name she thought of (perhaps her brother?) when asked who her father was at her wedding.

  Is there any chance that Emily Budd was a patient & not a Nurse as in 1981 my daughter age 3 months was at this hospital at the time it was a childrens hospital but all the wards where singular buildings spread about in the grounds when my daughter went for her operation we where transported in a kind of milk float when I asked why all building where so far apart I was told it was because it used to be an isolation hospital for t.b. e.c.t.  do you know the cause of her death ? . If she was a nurse could she have picked up something that ended her life so young ?

1911 has an Emily Budd

Same household as George Herbert Brooks and his wife Edith Brooks

Marriage
ApAmy/Jun 1907
Mile End
George Herbert Brooks / Edith Budd

Looks like Edith and Emily are sisters

Cant yet find either on earlier censuses. Might this Emily be a contender for the one we are looking for?
Title: Re: Queen Mary's Hospital, Carshalton
Post by: lizdb on Monday 15 February 16 21:20 GMT (UK)
Not looking so hopeful, as found Edith in 1891 (before that Emily was born) and her father was George William, not Henry/Harry.

Thanks to all  :)  I'm coming to England in May, so I'll be able to get to the hospital records.  I really would like to be able to tell my auntie where her mother was born, and a little more about her life in England.

What was her age when she married.   Who were the witnesses.
Could we have this info from the marriage certificate please? Witnesses may include a sister of Emily..

I got the marriage certificate,  Emily Budd, daughter of Harry Budd (deceased) married William Charles Offord on August 31st, 1918 at All Saints Church, Carshalton. Her address was listed as Queen Mary's Hospital, Carshalton. 

Did the marriage certificate give an occupation for her

Won't any hospital records be subject to a 100 year closure rule? I know some archives will look stuff up for direct descendants but will do it themselves so no other under 100 yr information is seen by the requester.

Although any such records [patient or staff] will probably have date of birth, they are unlikely to have place of birth or parents except I suppose as next of kin.

Apologies for the delay in response.  Thank you all for your suggestions and findings.  I think the last one is promising, as recently I heard from a daughter of Emily's eldest Evans daughter that she was raised in an orphanage.  No occupation is given for Emily on her marriage certificate  :-(
Title: Re: Queen Mary's Hospital, Carshalton
Post by: patty_in_ms on Sunday 22 May 16 05:47 BST (UK)
Update - made it to the London Metropolitan Archives.  Emily was employed as a "Nursing Helper" from Aug 15 1915 - Aug 30 1918.  No other info was given for employees in the records I saw, so still no concrete evidence of where she was born or her parents names.  I've gone back through BMD records and an incredible number of Henry or Harry Budds married a lady with Alice in her name! 

If anyone should be where the Lambeth Union records are kept and find they have time on their hands, I'd so much appreciate your looking up anything about the Emily Budd who was there. One relative thinks her whole name was Emily Marie Violet Budd, but that may have become muddled with time.

Thanks Rosie99 - I have Henry or Harry as dad's name and Alice as mother's name.  Doesn't seem like any way to establish which Emily Budd is the right one if the parents names don't match  :-(
