Sorry, this is how the PM went ---i just wondered if Mabels daughter had heard any "snipets" about maybe Mabel's Mum being an actress

I came across these two on the 1911 census -- I think they MAY be sisters

They are boarding at this address with a number of other people ----It was their names Mabel and Kathleen Firth that made me wonder if one of them had Mabel and named her after them !! ?? But where is Mabel's birth index, it really is confusing,

Trying a different tack. If she was born with a different surname (but same area as she appears on ER).

These were all born at the correct quarter in that area and reg Jun 1912

Cranham Mabel K Nicol Wandsworth 1d 984
The above marries in 1937 so can be eliminated

Herbert Mabel K Day Camberwell 1d 1720
Looks like this one may have married in 1937 too.

Jay Mabel K Wells Kingston 2a 846
Marries in 1932

Morriss Mabel K Denman Lambeth 1d 485
Marries in 1939

Webb Mabel K Taylor Lambeth 1d 664
Possible death in 1914.



Not seeing a birth on the familysearch Irish indexes either.

Only 2 of the 5 Firth births in Scotland in 1912 were female. A Frances born in Renfrew and a Daisy in Orkney.

Hi Babara
Thank you for the electoral register with lots of goodies within.
It's 100% correct, the same address as on m cert.
I guess I will search Ireland and Scotland for her birth, or maybe in a day or so my post will be read by a researcher from these parts.
Thanks again
Regards
Les

Not much help on Mabels birth I know ( I was wondering the same as Mike, about Scotland or Ireland )


London, England, Electoral Registers, 1847-1965
about Mabel K Hadlow
Name: Mabel K Hadlow
Electoral Year: 1946
Parliamentary Division: Camberwell
County or Borough: Southwark

Address 34 Willowbrook Road

Same address

Charles F Hadlow
Jane E
John F
Mabel K (as above)
William

and

Benjamin Ryan

--------------------------------------

Witness on marriage cert was Lydia Ryan

Wonder if this is her marriage ???

Marriages Mar 1917

>>>>Hadlow Lydia Ryan Camberwell 1d 1057
>>>>Ryan Benjamin Hadlow Camberwell 1d 1057

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It looks as if Lydia was Charles' sister going by 1911 census for Lydia ---Charles F birth in 1912 and their parents marriage in 1894.

Choccy Report 13 Apr 2012 13:31


from 1933 to 1936 she was in an Asylum (Peckham House), Camberwell

there might well be some records available


London, England, Electoral Registers, 1847-1965

Name: Mabel Kathleen Firth
Electoral Year: 1933
Parliamentary Division: Camberwell
County or Borough: Southwark



In 1938 she was at 74 Lyndhurst Road, Camberwell with the following residents -

Frederick and Lilian Pearce
Robert and Eleanor Storey
Edward and May Tagg



no sign of her before 1933 on Electoral register, so likely that 1912 birth year is correct (think 21 was the age to appear on the ER)
