Hard to find relatives
« on: Sunday 26 August 12 14:48 BST (UK) »
Hi,

I really hope that someone can help me. I am trying to trace a very puzzling woman.

I know her as Phyllis Rose Tottman ( Tottman being her married name) I know that she was married to Frederick Tottman 27 Feb 1922, St Etheldreda, Fulham, London. Her marriage certificate says her father was Charles Tombling. I also know she died in 1964.

The rest I can't prove. It is thought that she could have been born in 1902, and she always celebrated her birthday on the 19 Apr. It is also rumoured that she was adopted. I can't find any mention of her on the census any birth records. any records prior to her marriage really.

If anyone can help I really would be very very grateful.

Thanks

I suspect that maybe she knocked a couple of years off her age when she married.  Her age at death was 64 in the June quarter of 1964.  I also suspect she was born Mary Rose Tombling in the June Quarter 1898.  You will find her on the 1901 census as Rosie Tombling aged 3 with father Charles and mother Emily in Fulham.

London School admissions for North End Road School, Hammersmith and Fulham have a Rose Tombling of 11 Orchard Street, Fulham with the date of birth given as 19th April, 1898  :)

Maybe she just added the Phyllis at a later date.

Edited.

May we remind you that RootsChat's position is that no 1911 census look-up requests are allowed.

Hello Cathy and Mo,

My goodness I had no idea that I would get such a response in such little time. I have spent ages looking for her, so thank you to you both.

I will look into all the information that you have provided right now!!! As from the dates it really looks possible that the rosie tombling mo gave me is her. She is known for having used many names so it wouldn't surprise me if she added a first name.

So far I have linked all the information you have given me and it is all the same person i.e. Mary Rose Tombling + Rosie + Rose.

I have also found the 1911 census which is interesting.

I just need to link 1911 Rose with 1922 Phyllis.
