Hi Simon
On your first posting you state that Edith's father was called Charles but on a later posting you named him Edward.
What was his wife's maiden name on the birth certificate ?

Simon,

Can you just clarify is her father's name Edward or Charles as I am getting a bit confused.

Best Wishes

Jane

Have you got her death certificate as if she died after 1969 it should actually give her date of birth.

Best Wishes

No the indexes don't show parents' full names. You have to buy the cert, but that's a long shot. I notice her marriage index is Edith R.

Are you sure about the Rosa?

Ozi.

This is the only Edith Rosa Sinclair on all of Freebmd.

Births Dec 1881
SINCLAIR Edith Rosa Lambeth 1d 159

You can't find them because Charles may have died when she was very young. Also she could've been born anywhere. My grandmother married in Islington in 1910 too, but was born in Lincolnshire. She came to work in London after the 1901 census.

Thanks for that does it show fathers name?

Simon

No Edith Rosa born abt that time. There is this one.

Births Dec 1889
Sinclair Edith Amy Islington 1b 229

I am having trouble finding Edith Rosa Sinclair in the 1891 and 1900 census and also her father Charles Sinclair.

I know she was 25 when she married in 1915 and her father had alreay died - not sure why I can't find them.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Simon

What kind of information are you looking for? Census data?


Ozi.

Can anyone help with any information on Edith Rosa Sinclair born 1890 and worked in Islington London as a general servant in 1914. Her father was called Charles Sinclair and he was a commercial clerk - he had already died when Edith married in 1915.She married a Walter Earnest Crisp who worked at the Royal Arsenal.

Edith had two children Doris Edith Crisp Sinclair 1914 and Charles James Sinclair 1917

Can anyone help me?

Thanks

Simon
