Thanks for those bits Treetotal! I'm going to look through them properly over the weekend.

Yes, it's 42 Great British Pounds Redroger!  But I've been stuck for years now and, if nothing else, at least this will give me her date of birth 

(Or at least what she told them was her date of birth!)

Thanks for that Redroger. Nanny Dinah is a bit of a mystery! I'm now wondering if she was married previously?! Although i can't find anything to suggest so and the marriage cert in 1929 records her as a Spinster. Mind you, they were married in a Registry Office, false home address was given, nobody recognises the names of the witnesses and everybody thought they were married 11/12 years earlier in a church! (I've posted all the details on the 'Kent Lookup Requests' board, under the posting of 'Birth/Baptism/Census lookup please - Dorothy 'Dinah' Staples/Shepherd/Langley')
Thanks alot, Glen.

Hi Glen,

does the certificate show her father's name? If so, does his surname match hers? Is it Langley or Shepherd?

(*)

Her birth is found in the June qtr of 1893 as Dinah Mahalia SHEPHERD (on the Census above she appears to be Dinah Matalia) She was baptised Dinah Mehalah SHEPHERD on the 9th August 1893 in Southwark, her parents Edwin Thomas (a printer) and Ellen living at 10 Paved Place Gravel? (difficult to decipher the last word of the address).


There is one other Dinah SHEPHERD - a Cotton Weaver born (and living) 1889 in Warrington, Lancashire - but there is a matching marriage for her in Warrington1912 to a DITCHFIELD

I know the feeling Glen, I have the same sort of problem with my 2XGGF, but so far despite professional help, yes that hurt £wise, I am really no further on. A scavenger hunt in early 2010 produced further information which though it's the right person completely contradicted what I had already. However, maybe a scavenger hunt on this site would help solve your problem?

Hi Jemhay,

Her father is recorded as 'William Langley, deceased, General Labourer'.

She supposedly grew up with an Aunt in Blue Bell Hill, Kent, England. Most of the children are given five names each! And although five of the kids were boys and they were given names of other male family members, none of them had William!

The fact that she uses two maiden names, seems really strange to me.

Redroger: What's a scavenger hunt?! I'm intrigued! Maybe I need to do one!

Put "Scavenger hunt" into search function on this site and you will soon get the idea.
