If you look on freebmd you will find Amelia Nicholls 1911 reg. dist. Greenwich which covers births in Deptford.

Sorry....misread your question.

To find the missing daughter will mean a long trawl through the complete index's.

You have been helping me find a missing child of 8 sisters..This morning Lady of the Manor gave me some information about Amelia Nicholls.
Amelia E Nicholls 1925 Jan/feb/mar qtr I have checked on Ancestry and cannot find this. Please can any one find her again for me.
Her name is Amelia Nicholls MMN Hornblow. Born between 1905-1924. She was not born in 1925 as her sister Ivy was Feb 1925..Linda

Hi Linda, what I think Lady of the Manor was saying is that Amelia E Nicholls was registered J-M 1925 mmn Hornblow 1d 1501 Greenwich AND there is also the registration of Ivy G Nicholls J-M 1925 mmn Hornblow 1d 1429 Greenwich.
Both these found on the complete ancestry,

Good luck in your search, Joan

Amelia E is on the same page as Ivy G both mmn Hornblow both registered Greenwich but references are too far apart to be twins
Ivy 1d 1429
Amelia 1d 1501

Do you think that there is an error some were. Ivy is my Mother-in-Law so I know her date is correct and she is not a twin..

Joan Report 7 Oct 2007 21:01

Don't know Linda but it is a coincidence that two children with same surname and same mmn in same district registered in same quarter. Do you have your mil's birth cert ? Sometimes a multiple birth is written in the left hand column as a time born.

Do you mean that she could have had a twin sister and didnt know.Thats if Amelia died young..My Mother-in-Law is alive living in Australia. She is 82 memory not to good.

Joan

Joan Report 7 Oct 2007 21:11

Linda, I would be tempted to purchase the cert for your m i l.

Effie

Effie Report 7 Oct 2007 21:22

Thanks for all you help. I will talk to my Mother-in-Law tomorrow.. Tracy found Amelia Nicholls 1911 married to Mr Bartlett. Cannot be correct as we dont have a Mr bartlett in the Family.. I will try and solve this tomorrow maybe to hearing from me again...Linda

Joan Report 7 Oct 2007 21:30

Linda, I have just looked at the registration for Amelia C Nicholls in Mar 1911. It says 'see Mar 25'. I have looked at the Mar 1925 and she is apparently re-registered as Amelia E.

Amelia was born before the parents marriage , is this correct ?

Joan

Effie

Effie Report 7 Oct 2007 21:34

Yes she was born before they married..Thats June 1913. What does it mean re registered have they changed birth date as well

Joan

Joan Report 7 Oct 2007 21:40

There may be a few reasons Linda. If you look on freebmd for the 1911 birth and click on 'info' it might give you some idea. Joan
There has been a change of middle initial.
