S.H.V Birthplace???
« on: Tuesday 12 June 18 00:38 BST (UK) »
Hi I'm not sure if I'm being really silly but my great uncles WW1 war records show 2 of his children's birthplace as S.H.V.
Im assuming that it could be an abbreviation for Southwark and just wanted to ask your opiniona!? 😊x

The births of Charles (1908) and Percy (1910) were registered in southwark - but I've never seen SHV (or SAV?) used for Southwark.

It doesn't fit with the other places of birth and I'm not sure it makes sense but could it stand for something like Southwark Hospital Vauxhall? (though I don't know if there is or was such a place) ... and most/all births would have occurred at home in that era. :-\

Could the "V" stand for Village?

Not sure what, though! ;D

It just says "Southwark" for the two boys ... All other children are born "Hammersmith".
Address in 1911 is 55 St Katherine's Road. (today it is Wilsham Street)

The Birth Index gives Edward Percy's place of birth as Brentford, Middlesex.  Any idea what father's occupation was at the time?  That might give us a clue.
Suffolk: Pearl(e),  Garnham, Southgate, Blo(o)mfield,Grimwood/Grimwade,Josselyn/Gosling
Durham/Yorkshire: Sedgwick/Sidgwick, Shadforth

The WW1 army records have a few other children with "SHV" as their birthplace: Annie & Rose Hill (1902) who appear to have been born in Staines; same family Beatrice & Alice Hill (1906) who appear to have been born in Egham/Windsor; and Annie Crawley (1908) born Lambeth.

Hi sorry at work just been reading through all your replies! 😊

Thanks Shaun thats interesting that other children have SHV on WW1 records as I hadn't thought to look.  ..

Think he was a Railway works labourer around the time Edward Percy was born

Think I get googling again see what I can find! Lol
