Beverley Report 31 Mar 2009 00:42

I'm trying to find info re the birth family of my great great grandmother Catherine Banks nee Boorman. In 1861 she was living with husband Frederick Geo Banks at Old Kent Rd, Camberwell, and as a widow in Greenwich in 1771. Her children were Frederick Geo Wm, Esther J, William H, Catherine, Charles & Susan.

Any links to other Boorman trees please?

You should buy that marriage certificate that Lindsey found. That will give you her father's name, and then we have a starting place to look for her.

It will cost £7 from www.gro.gov.uk ....... but is the only way to be sure that you ahve the correct people.

There are 3 Catherine Boorman born in Kent around 1837 on the 1841 Census, none specifically say Canterbury

This is an extracted record (meaning it was taken from the actual parish record) from the International Genealogical Index on www.familysearch.org, the Mormon site


it looks as though it is the baptism record for the Catherine Boorman found by Lindsey, whihc may or may not be yours ............. the marriage certificate will tell you the father's name!
