Yes, I've seen that Death and am tempted to buy the Certificate but the Marriage I'm not so sure about as its 1919 and Winifred was born in 1905? I've been told that Winifred had a Brother (name and age not remembered) that died at a 'young age' of Whooping Cough.
Winifred and Reg were married 16/04/24 and I'm pretty sure this was shortly after her Mum died. Witnesses were Lawrence Fish and Eveline Squires. Winifred's address given as 133 Battersea Rise, no Father given

Yes, but Winifred was apparently not a Clements at birth, so there's no reason to think Mr Clements was married to her mother before her birth, is there?

[Dianeduvale]

No, no reason at all. Maybe I'll get the death certificate first

...so I should start searching for a Winifred SMITH Birth? GREAT! Haha

[Dianeduvale]

..the only Family rumour I've heard (& no one seems to know much at all) is that Winifred may have spent some of her early childhood in a Children's Home and that sometimes Birth Certificated a destroyed? Your thoughts?!

LOL!

Well I did notice (from electoral rolls) that after their marriage Winifred and Reginald Fish lived at the same address as a Smith family (46 Lynwood Rd, SW17 - 1927-1930). Coincidence - or not? (Probably it is - just the way it goes in multi-occupier houses).

What would be nice would be to identify who was at 133 Battersea Rise in the electoral rolls circa 1924.

Certainly children in some institutions (such as the Foundling Hospital) had their names completely changed at the time of admission. But that scenario doesn't easily fit with Winifred having known her mother right up until mother's death.

As to destroying birth certificates I don't know - but that wouldn't destroy the underlying registration. If her birth was registered then it remains registered for all time.
