Trying to find Healen MUNDAY - Completed
« on: Thursday 24 July 08 14:28 BST (UK) »
Now you'd have thought with such an unusual forename, this would be easy?  :-\

Healen Munday m. Lucy Dixon (don't know when, but it's after 1887 when Lucy has an illegitimte child, Kate) and first appears in the 1891 census in Crondal with her as being born c.1863 in Hartley Witney, Hants.

They're together in 1901 in Crookham.

But can I find him before then? No, I can't!  ::)

I've tried several lateral approaches, but I'd appreciate some help on this one.

Thanks.

Hi Meles

there is a birth in Hartley Wintney RD Mar 1860 for a Helen Munday.  Looking at the original index I wonder whether the name has been misinterpreted and this could be your man's birth?

Will have a look in the censuses too.

Hi Barbara

I saw Helen too. It's a few years out (but then, we are all used to people lying about their age at marriage). But I'm not aware of the Registrar getting the sex of a child wrong - but perhaps someone here does?

Am having no luck in the censuses  :(

I have checked the 1860 entry again and I believe the forename is Helan.

I have seen registrars correct the sex of a child on certificates.  I wonder what sex the child registered in 1860 is?

It is quite possible for their to be a mistake over the sex, especially if the name Healen was mistaken for the girl's Helen.

I have a birth certificate for a Miriam Lottie whowas registered in error as a boy in September 1881, a correction the the registration and change to a girl was made in February 1882.

Had a look at Tribal Pages. So it's sort of like GenesReunited? I belong to the latter and no Healen Munday's there...

Thank you for looking, Barbara.

Looks like this will be a brick wall...  :-\
