Hi All,

After much doubt checking and rechecking and ordering of certificates the Mary Ann Sharkey John George Hindhaugh marriage was the correct one! It must have been misrecorded as she was a Mary Ellen known as Ellen as her mothers name was also Mary.

Thank you also Tati for finding the family in 1891, I haven't got any census subscriptions at the moment, hopefully I'll get one as a Christmas present so I'll look that reference up then.

Thank you all so much for your help,

Hi Monique,

Thank you for that.  I really don't know very much at all about the child.  The mother's maiden name was Lawrence.  The next eldest sibling I know of was born between Oct and Dec 1911 in Dover.  The parents were married May 1909 in Southwark.  I know some of the parents siblings stayed in London after they moved away, so if the tale is true He could have been visiting them.  It could be one of the George's, that's the same name as the child's Grandfather.  Thanks once again.  leaf

Hi Toni,

Thanks for your post.  As far as I'm aware your Beers don't connect with mine, but maybe someone else knows more.

Thank you for looking for that jorose, and for your information meles.  I don't think the boy was old enough to be working, so it's probably not Henry.  It could be one of those tales that's got twisted as it's been passed down.  As I have no definate information I may have to wait and see if the 1911 census sheds any light on it.

Thank you once again. leaf

Hello,

I'm after advice on ordering death certificates as I've never ordered one before.

I think I've found Elizabeth Jane Lawrence July-September 1904 Southwark Vol 1d page 95

and

Wiliam Arthur Lawrence October-December 1904 Southwark Vol 1d page 48.

I know they were both alive in 1901 from the census and that Arthur was dead by 1909 when his daughter got married. The witnesses were Frank and Nellie Louisa Lawrence.  I knew Frank was her brother and think I've found a marriage January -March 1908 Southwark Vol 1d page 55 that confirms Nellie Louisa was her sister in law.

So my question is which death certificate should I order first?

Thank you, leaf
