Thank you Sylvia Im doing this for a friend.On the 1911 census her gt grandmother Blanche Burke 28 Portsmouth
Edith Burke 11 Stratford
Doris Burke 4 Stratford

Blanche claiming to be married 11 years but she didnt marry George William Burke till 1907. They are both registered in the same month but one is Portsea the other Portsmouth. From 1900 it should say Portsmouth

George is missing He was in the RN and when his daughter Doris married in 1922 he was a lieutenant RN retired . The witness on the marriage cert is Edith Elizabeth Apthorp Burke

So looking for George William Burke somewhere
Going to eat dinner now but will check later and thank you

Marriages Dec 1907 (>99%)

APTHORP Blanche Louisa Portsmouth 2b 991

BURKE George William Portsea Island 2b __1



Very strange how they have the two different places!!



I have checked the scan of the GRO Index, and have sent in a correction.


The entry for George William SHOULD read as follows ..........

BURKE George William Portsmouth 2b 991
