BE KIND ENOUGH TO DO A LOOK UP ON A DORA FANTOM BORN APPROX 1912 FROM THE DERBYSHIRE AREA AND SEND THE INFO WITH HER FAMILY TO THIS THREAD IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED THANKYOU

Here is her birth: You will need to send off for the certificate to get the names of her parents:

THANKYOU SAM.....BUT WHY CANT YOU GET OTHER PEOPLE THAT LIVED IN HER HOUSEHOLD WHEN SHE WAS BORN I DONT UNDERSTAND?

You can't get the other people living in the household when she was born because the last available census was in 1901. The 1911 census won't be online for another couple of years, but she was born too late to be on it.

The entry Sam's posted above means that Dora's full name was Dora Fantom, and her mother's maiden name was Clarke.

This is the only Fantom-Clarke marriage I can see on FreeBMD:

Marriages Dec 1903 (>99%)
CLARKE Lily Stockport 8a 165
Fantom William Stockport 8a 165

THANKYOU WEST COUNTRY LASS I DO BELIEVE THAT FREDRICK WAS ONE OF HER SIBLINGS AS FOR THE MARRIAGE BIT IM NOT SURE AS I HAVE JUST HAD A PM SAYING THAT HER MOTHERS NAME WAS ANNIE CLARKE WHAT DO YOU THINK? THANKYOU ONCE AGAIN

THANKYOU ALSO MARY FOR YOU HELP AND KINDNESS

You'll need to get her birth certificate to be sure of her parents' names.

Where did the information about her mother being called Annie Clarke come from?

SOMEONE ON THE SITE

Yes, I mean where did they get the information from?

Did you realise that Mansfield is in Nottinghamshire, not Derbyshire? Is there any particular reason you think she was born in Derbyshire?

Mary

I've nudged a previous thread, which may clarify things a bit.............

Thanks :-)

THAT WHERE ONE OF HER BROTHERS WHERE BORN DENNIS FANTOM B 1923

Ok, I've just seen that on the other thread. So do we know where the information about her mother came from?

If I were you I'd order Dennis' birth cert before you do any more.
From this you'll get both his parents names & you can look for the marriage & order a cert.
It's possible that the Dora noted above is his sister but again you are going to have to order a cert to prove. There is no point in doing this until you've found the marriage.

Each cert can be ordered from the GRO & will cost £7 & you are going to need quite a few

A LADY ON HERE PM ME SAYING THAT THERE MOTHERS NAME WAS ANNIE CLARKE I DONT NO IF THIS IS CORRECT OR NOT IF THE MARRIAGE TO WILLIAM AND LILY IS CORRECT WOULD IT NOT SHOW ANY OF THERE CHILDREN ON WILLIAM FANTOM IF THAT IS THERE FATHER LIKE ON THE LOOK UP WHERE IT SAYS
OCC
STREET ADDRESS
THAT KIND OF THING
IF WILLIAM WAS THERE FATHER AND LILY CLARKE THERE MOTHER
I WOULD SAY WILLIAM WAS B APPROX 1888

THANKYOU EVERYONE FOR THERE HELP PATIENTS AND KINDNESS

Once we know who Dennis and Dora's parents are we can look then up on the 1901 census, but it won't show who their children were if they were married in 1903.

As Claire says, you need to get one of their birth certificates before you go any further, otherwise you may end up chasing the wrong parents.

You should also ask the lady who PM'd you how she knows their mother's name is Annie.
