Bedilla Barrett

Beg your pardon miabar.

That other thread looked quite complicated with lots of names so glad to be here where it seems more simple. 

Can I just ask then - is the Scottish census 1891 John Barrett with wife Bridge and daughter Nellie, not yours?

Also, what do you think about the Delilah death?

The other thread said Johns parents were John Barrett and Helen Brown and he was a Mercantile Banker.

My johns parents were Alfred and Mary and John was a ticket writer.

1881 Census:
John aged 10 born Ed, Soctland
parents Alfred and Mary
dwelling: 37 Simpson St Battersea Surrey England

Alfred and Mary Jane Johnston married 3 January 1870 in Ed Scotland
son: John Alfred Frederick Barrett
b: 28 Oct 1870 Ed Scotland

Hello again,

yes I saw the info re 1881 and 1891.
So, may I ask again - is John, the clerk in 1891 with wife Bridge and daughter Nellie, not your John?

If not, do you have your John in 1891? (To check Bedilla's name?)

In response to your original request, there is no sign of a Bedilla Barrett death, but there is a Delilah Barrett death which fits with age, place and time and I cannot see a Delilah B in 1901 anywhere.
woudl you think this was worth following?

Do you have Alfred, Mary Jane and John in 1871?

[miabar]

I cant see how the John in 1891 with wife Bridget can be mine if his parents have a different name to this one...

But yes the Bedilla could be the Delilah so I should be searching for a Delilah married to John In Ed Scotland.

I think you need to get more information from what is available.
I was thinking that Delilah could be a misheard name rather than her name.
Bedelia and Bridget are both used for the same name.
If you got certificates:
death certificate for 'Delilah Barrett' and a birth certificate for William, you would have her previous name which may help you to find a marriage.
Did you get Alfred's name for the father from the marriage certificate of John and  Nellie Vine?

I know this may not actually help but Delilah Barrett was buried at Islington cemetery 29 Jan 1806. The entry should have an age and last known address but not necessarily the names of any relatives.

You can pay to view the entry at www.deceasedonline.com

It could be cheaper than a £9.25 cert from the GRO.

Hi Dawn,

the age on Free BMD is 41 yrs which does fit with Bedilla's age from census but it is all supposition.
That's a useful site you gave there.
