The Common Room / Death record using date of birth?
« on: Sunday 19 September 21 15:17 BST (UK)  »
My annoying Great Grandfather is called Alfred smith, I know his exact date of birth but I don't know where or where he died only that he is alive in 1913 and probably dead by 1918-  I don't know where in the UK he died because he was a musical hall artist and moved around all the time, my question is  can you locate a death record somehow by the fact that I do know his exact date of birth?

Hi There,
I am researching Butlers who appear in the Tewkesbury/ Cheltenham area.
I have
Charles Butler married to
Ellen Butler nee Hodgkins
they have Violet, Reuben, Naomi, Cornelius and Mahoney all Tewkesbury/Twyning, Gloucester.
Reuben marries a Mary Ann Jones from Cheltenham and they have their children in Cheltenham, Ledbury and Malvern, they are living in a tent in the 1911C ( Chance's Pitch)they seem to settle down in Malvern, after Reuben dies in 1920 they don't go on the road again.
Reuben is my link, I'm trying to ascertain if these Butlers are related to the 'Famous' butler family, that the The Romany & Traveller FHS has published a book on.

Hi Rosie99,
Yes she did, but unfortunately I don't have an Ancestry sub right now, one for the library next time I visit.
Thanks

Gloucestershire Lookup Requests / Birth lookup Mary Ann Jones Cheltenham
« on: Monday 13 November 17 15:03 GMT (UK)  »
Hi I was wondering if anyone was going to the record office if they would have time to try look up a birth for  me  Mary Ann Jones July 1887 Cheltenham, not sure which church.
Father should be a James Jones, they might be travellers?
Thanks hoping in advance

Hi there I looked this up in the Hive this morning
Thomas made his mark but Mary signed, they were down as both from this parish and in the presence of Samuel and Elizabeth Goode.

Funnily enough my PC's connection dropped out just as I was about to send and had to reboot!
I know it's not quite the full answer and we can't know what he means by some time ago, annoyingly he didn't then write buried in this parish!

Found him!!
I went and had a look at the Waxham Deanery Monthly Magazine on the Hickling village history website and if you do control F to highlight all the Chapmans you get this on page 57 (of 355)
 "I omitted  inadvertently  some  time  ago  to  record  the   death  of  Robert  Chapman,  who  was  one  of  the  Fathers  of  the Parish.  He  died  at  an  advanced  age  after  a  life  of hard  and  continuous  work,  and  his  familiar  figure  cannot  fail  to  be missed amongst us. His grandson, John Chapman, who lived for many years in this parish, has since died at Yarmouth at an early age, leaving a widow and family to mourn his loss. Much sympathy is felt for them in their  bereavement."
So Mr Arthur A. T. Crosse, Vicar, was not quite as diligent as we thought there is no burial record because Mr Crosse forgot!!

Thought I'd just add to what Jon said I'm inclined to think that it is your Robert dying in 1897  but the absence of a burial record is weird as their son Samuel is also buried in Hickling, I checked Sutton burials and Potter Heigham he's not there either, so I wondered if there was any kind of epidemic recorded I know that there is a separate 'cholera' cemetery in Upton upon Severn (near me) so wondered if something like that had happened to your Robert?
The other consideration is did he die whilst away from home? and where did all his children end up, could he have been visiting them, or in fact moved there after Mary Ann and Robert junior died?
It's annoying when you can't find people, when you know they definitely existed! I can't find a whole branch of mine!

Lancashire / Re: Agnes Green Baptism 1890

latin I think
Sine Cera means sincere
Think the other word might be ceremony
Children were often baptised twice if it was thought that they might not survive, the second one showing that it obviously did.
