In which case, the Ealing death is a possible.

Edit - or perhaps not. There is a marriage in 1911 in Fulham to a Clara which ties in with a later Ealing ER

Do you have them on the 1911?
Did they moved to the mainland?
Did your parents also marry in Eire, or did your mother move to England for work and marry here?
If she had an Irish accent, she was probably brought up in Ireland!

Not forgetting Choccy & Martynsue ;-)

You said you were having problems with your other grandfather.
If you wanted members to try and help, then

What was his name
What years do you have
Location
What was the name of your maternal grandmother and when/where did they marry?

If you have their MC, what details are on there - his father's name/occupation and the names of witnesses.

DetEcTive - My grandfather Robert Jnr did marry Henrietta Boulton I did see a Maud Mary on his MC and wondered so this looks as if this is correct many thanks for your input.

+++DetEcTive+++

+++DetEcTive+++ Report 25 Sep 2013 18:24

Brian - you said that a lot of this is guess work. As long as we have the correct marriage for Robert Jnr to Henrietta - you probably know your grandmother's name - then the records back as far as his father's marriage to Martha Etherington fits.

For instance, Robert Jnr's sister Maud Mary Clarke was a witness on his MC. She is shown in the same household as Robert Jnr, and her father Robert Snr in 1891 & 1901 (editted to correct census years).

Robert Snr has consistantly said that he was born in Mildenhall. A marriage to a Martha as shown in 1880 does seem relevant.

If you are in doubt, find the birth reg for one of Robert Snrs children and send for that.



+++DetEcTive+++

+++DetEcTive+++ Report 25 Sep 2013 18:09

Possibly - the 1881 shows Robert Jnr as Robert A, and on 1901 Charles is down as Charles A.

Although the age at death is a bit out for a 1850 birth, how about this for Robert Snr's death?
