Hampshire & IOW Lookup Requests / Re: 1891 lookup request - Gurman

Thank you. I managed to Speak to my Nan (Fred's daughter) and she knows he spent some time in France before WW1 so I know believe this is why he does not show up on the census data.

Where did you find the marriage in 1916? I have found a marriage in the name of William L G Foster to a Verden but cannot find the Verden entry stating her first name etc. Where did you find this to confirm it was a Mary that he married?

Ah don't worry found it now on a different database! Thank you!

Yes - I believe her to be Mary Wallis Verden.
I was lead to that birth through a Mary Verden on the census in 1901 and 1911 (no middle name recorded). 
Although the census estimates her birth to be 1895 so I'm not 100% sure I have the right Mary Verden but couldn't find any other Mary Verden births registered in London.

London and Middlesex / Mary Verden and Elizabeth Jessie Verden
« on: Thursday 13 August 15 23:40 BST (UK)  »
Mary Verden born July 1894 Islington to John and Rose Verden. She lives with her siblings and can be seen on 1901 and 1911 census.
I have found a potential marriage to a William C S Carthew in June 1950. This would mean she has left it very late to marry. Would be greatful for any further information anyone can find.

Also interested in her sibling Elizabeth Jessie Verden born to John and Rose Verden in October 1888. An Elizabeth Verden married a James Worster (Born 1881) in 1912. I have found this link: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=73062363&ref=acom and wondered if this could possibly be the same Elizabeth Jessie Verden. Any information or ideas greatly appreciated.

I have been using ancestory to research but using records. In my 24 hours on ancestory I have found some of my Relatives recorded as being born in New Zealand whilst living in Northumberland due to a mispelling of Northumberland in a census (Northland). Some of the generations get muddled in the side i'm researching at the moment but I am relying on records that I have found.
In one such tree Noah Gurman has a death recorded after Fred Gurman was born. However, this seems to be complete fiction because there is no  source cited, no record of his death anywhere let alone his existence after his marriage to Selina in 1886.

So in short.... I agree!

The only other Frederick Gurman's in Hampshire at the time are either to young to enlist (Born 1897 and 1907). I really believe this could be the Fred Gurman i'm searching for. Thanks again.

Hi,
No I had not seen the WW1 military records in Frederick Gurman's name. After a search this looks like it could be him because it he is in the Hampshire Regiment. I can't find a birthdate for him to confirm though. Will look and see if there is another Frederick Guman in Hampshire at the same time.
Really exciting find, thanks again!

Thanks - I have emailed Southampton Archive services. The child in question does not appear on the 1901 census or the 1911 census but reappears when he marries in 1924. Name: Fred Gurman. I am hoping he turns up in the local orphanage so fingers crossed that the Southampton Archive has some answers!
