Elsie Mildred Fleetham
« on: Wednesday 25 March 09 09:24 GMT (UK) »
Elsie Mildred Fleetham was born in Darlington on the 7 Nov 1895 and according to the 1901 census was  living in Zetland Street, Darlington which was in the parish of St Paul.

If possible please, would some kind person have a look at the parish records to see if her father's name is listed, her mother was Elizabeth Fleetham so the name of the father may not be entered! Elizabeth's father wouldn't allow her to marry the father of the child.
Thanks in anticipation

The easiest way is to get the birth certificate from Darlington Registrars. As sometimes they are not batised so not in parish registry.


If you look at Darlington registry office online you can order it from there.

Hi Terry,

As you have the date of birth, I assume you have her birth cert. which would allow the father's name to be entered if he was present when it was registered. If his name wasn't entered then I doubt if a family baptism would have his name as there is little scope in the register for additional information at that time, especially if there was a family objection to the father.

Regards,
Colin

Sorry Terry, I have had second thoughts and think you are trying to locate a father which wasn't noted on the birth cert. so want to explore every avenue for his name.

I'll check for a baptism and hope it comes up trumps, but I'm not sure when that will be.

Regards,
Colin

Yes, this is really clutching at straw time!
The person in question was brought up as a daughter by her grandparents, although this contridicates the 1901 Census as it states her as a granddaughter!

The other question is then did Elsie marry and was a father mentioned on the marriage certificate.

Also where was her mother Elizabeth living in the 1891 census, St Paul's parish or a different one.

Also the grandparents might be in a different parish from where she was.

So Colin would have to look at all parishes.

Just trying to make it easier for him.

Thanks for pointing that out, Jolly Roger.
Just rechecked 1891 census and it appears that Elizabeth could have been recorded in either St Paul or Trinity Parishes. I cannot find Elizabeth in the 1901 Census which would have useful to the quest
The family lived in or around Zetland Street area well into the 20th century
Thanks

Looking on Darlington RO website, I see a Elizabeth Fleetham marrying in 1904 at St Paul's Church, so if it is your Elizabeth it could give you an idea of where she was living.

   That is correct, she married Mr Burton, a barber, then they moved to Seaton Delavel and lived on the premises, from family knowledge.
