Lamper birth/baptism

[Theli p]

I do not know if this is possible but heres hoping.
I would like to find the father of Frank Lamper born c1892 Brighton, Florence born c1894 Southwick and Margaret born c1896 Brighton. In the 1901 census they are living with their widowed mother Alice b1868 Brighton. If I can identify their father that may help with another query about the Lamper family which is really puzzling me.
Thanks

Hi

The FULL BMD index is now available to search free of charge at www.ancestry.co.uk.  Copy certificates can be obtained online at www.gro.gov.uk

If you obtain one of the childrens birth certs, it will show the fathers name plus mothers maiden name.  using that info you will be able to look for their marriage

Hi Carole
I have searched ancestry and other sites but can find no trace of a record of Frank's birth or of his sisters. I am stuck unless I can find a baptism for them! I keep getting the same problem with this family so I cannot work out who they were.

If you have any more ideas please let me know.
Thanks Thelma

Hi Thelma

have you only searched via freebmd which is only a partial index?  The full BMD index went online last week at www.ancestry.co.uk.  It's the same one that you have to pay for at 1837online but it's free on ancestry

I have spent ages searching the new ancestry site but to no avail even looking for all Lamper variants. I think I will have to give up on this part of the family for now!

Thelma,

Have you tried finding any Lamper families in Brighton in 1891 census?  Particularly one with a wife named Alice!  It might be a long shot but may be worth trying.

Another approach may be to look for any male Lamper deaths between 1896 and 1901 in the Brighton registration district.  I know its a long task, but that may be the way to crack it.

Just a suggestion.

In the 1901 the household next door to Alice and the children is headed by James Lamper age 54 from Sompting.   Presumably you have followed that clue?   Too much of a coincidence to ignore as it is an uncommon name.

FreeBMD has a birth for Hannah Florence Lamper in Brighton Dec 1884 2b 267
Does this fit in anywhere?  Too early for yours but might be a relative.

Hannah Florence looks as if she belongs to the family next door in 1901.  She is 16.
