As the only electoral register taken in 1918 in Birmingham was the "Absent Voters" register I presume that the Edward Partington was probably involved in WW1 in some aspect.

I also believe that there was no other Electoral register taken in Birmingham between 1913 and Spring 1920.

Out of curiosity were did you discover that Walter Henry Fisher was living during 1915~1920?

Don't put off until tomorrow doing what you can do today. If you like doing it today you can do it again tomorrow. Be kind to your children for it is they who will decide which care home you end up in.

Hello Jan,
thanks very much for replying.
Yes, my mum's mother was Helen Vera Fisher or Vera Helen Fisher (she used the 2 different variations on each of her children's birth certs - my mother and her brother, who were both abandoned in 1920 by their parents.
Helen lists herself as married to Edward Partington on the 2 children's birth certs but cannot find any marriage record.

This shows the maiden name of the mother as FISHER. Is this child Helen and Walters son?

If you have your mothers birth cert, it should show her mothers maiden name.
If you look on www.freebmd.org.uk for your moms birth it will indicate her mothers maiden name (if she was born after 1911). You can then search for a marriage for Walter Fisher and enter your nans maiden name in the spouse surname field and it should find it - if they married.

Cannot find marriage, birth or death certs for either of my mother's parents. Only have birth certs of 2 children around 1918 in Birmingham.
Edward Partington shown as living at 17 Albert Rd, Handsworth, Birmingham in August 1918 & 7 Carlyle Rd, Edgebaston in 1919. Cannot find any record of them after this although know they moved to London in 1920 and then seem to have disappeared.
Only clue so far is that a Walter Henry Fisher was in voter records as living also at 17 Albert Rd, Handsworth from 1915-1920.
Trying to find if any connection between Walter Fisher & Helen/Vera Fisher.
Any help very gratefully received as have hit wall for many months now.
