May Violet Fleming parents Alfred & Mary Ann nee Smith.
Un-Quote.
Hi Jennifer,
What I know for sure is… May Victoria FLEMING Born 28-May-1897: Died 15-Aug-1898
Both at 46 Warmer Place, Bethnal Green, London.
Parents were Alfred FLEMING and Mary Ann (nee SMITH).
I have May’s birth and death cert’s and Alfred and Mary Ann’s marriage cert which gives their ages as 30 and 25 respectively.
Therefore I deduce from this marriage cert that…..
Alfred was born abt. 1855, his fathers name was Alfred living at 46 Warmer Plc. at time of marriage. Alfred Bn c1855 and his father were in the timber trade.
Mary Ann born about 1860, her fathers name was George Richard, mother name possibly Caroline all living at 1 Harts Lane at time of Alfred and Mary Ann's marriage. Geo. Richard was a builder.
End of proven data by cert’s.
I have my maternal grand father’s line traced back to a Charles married to Charlot Symonds on 8-11-1794 at St. Dunstans.
On to his son George Bn 3-2-1797
On to his son Joseph Bn abt 1829
On to his son William Bn 24-2-1851
On toWlm Henry Bn 17/7/1883 married Lillie Connah Bn 31/8/1887. These my Maternal grand parents.
Lillie always referred to May Victoria as a cousin but she was in fact a 2nd or 3rd cousin in law so she must trace back to one of the people in this list above or one of their children.
Spelling Vickie (or Vicky), the first more likely as all other like names were spelt as in Lillie. I have always assumed that Vickie is short for Victoria.
During the 2nd world war my mother and I lived with Wlm Henry and Lillie while my father was serving in the middle east.
As I mentioned before, any talk of May Victoria was done in guarded tones for some reason so I believe that there is a story to be solved here if possible.
I have been pursuing this story for over 10 years now
Many thanks for your past help Jennifer. If God gives me enough years I sure I will resolve this.
Cheers,
Phil H.
