Queens road or Hayden’s road, can’t be both.

We’re Fred and Violet married. You can check that out yourself for free on
www.freebmd.org.uk

Look for newspaper reports for Fred’s court appearance/ crime.

Read through all the advice you have received on your other threads - it could lead you to places to look.

Looks as though your Nan was born illegitimately at her grandparents home, here they are in 1939, no Violet living with them....there is an officially closed record on the original image, maybe Kathleen living with her grandparents?

Household Members Age

No Fred Moore living in the area, as far as I can see!!

Violet W Adkins was born in Uxbridge, birth registered September 1916.

She married John Dunn in 1941, Hampstead

I know this isn’t the info you’re looking for, as Kathleen was illegitimate it could be almost impossible to pin down her farther Fred (Frederick)Moore. Are his name and occupation on her birth certificate?

Thank u.. what does it mean born illegitimatley?

The info is correct what you have given me, yeh my nan was evacuated or something?

nameslessone Report 16 Mar 2021 22:12

Illegitimate means that the parents were not married. The fathers name would only be on the birth certificate if he had accompanied the mother to the registrars.

For anyone who doesn’t know the area, Cheam is just a bus ride away from New Malden. Or about an hours walk.

my nans dad who she only knew his name as fred moore and was in Cheam and tooting Surrey, but was also told he went to wormwood scrubs prison for robbery or burglary. I found online information of a Frederick Moore and a sen Wallace Moore in 1936 being involved in a bank robbery and I'm trying to find if this Frederick moore is the same person to be my nans father

On ancestry after doing my nans DNA it's come up with a connection with a lady named Melanie Smith who she has the name of Mary Cole and Henry Hampton being her Ancestors.

Can anyone help me getting further with Nything please. My nan is still living and I wanna help her get information on her dad or if she has any siblings from Frederick moore.

Frederick moore was last known to be in Cheam, tooting and South Wimbledon.

Can someone help plz as I have searched daily and not getting any further.

New thread started asking same question as that 2 posts above this one.
https://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards/board/ancestors/thread/1392929

Have asked Caris to stick to one thread - this one

West London Observer 24 July 1936 -

Wallace Moore Snr 44 Wheelwright and 3 sons - Wallace Jnr 27 Carpenter, Frederick Albert 24 Lorry driver and Arthur 17 Labourer all living in Fulham Road charged with breaking in and stealing ......

Various appearance at Magisrates Court and then Sessions culminated in -

Wallace Snr sentenced to 2 years in prison for receiving stolen goods. Wallace Jnr got 18 months and Frederick 9 months

Caris

Caris Report 3 May 2021 01:15

do you know what prison it was they was sentenced to?

nameslessone

nameslessone Report 3 May 2021 08:11

Newspaper reports don’t usually state which prison someone is being sent to. Do try the London Metropolitan archives for their records on prisoners at Wormwood scrubs.

I think the LMA has just published it’s reopening dates. Google it.

Edit :Thinking about the 1936 crimes it is worth looking into Wandsworth prison records - again you need to look at the LMA.
