Hi all, checking Roche family.

regards Deborah
Edit:
Not much luck with the Roche's, on cgwc they are recorded as Edmund and Rhoda cant see a marriage that also fits with the children, unless of course they are not wife and children as i assumed.
No matches in trees.

Oh, well done, Janice, BEGER, EMILY JEMIMA.

The CWGC entries are in alphabetical order and I'd started going through them (by changing the number at the end of the URL) starting from my Bakers ... but didn't look at each record between Beaken and Benford. !

I'll get back onto her since I'd undertaken her to start with.

My bet for Emily:

Births Jun 1885
Tattam Emily Jemima Bethnal Green 1c 259

Previous marriage likely explains it:

Marriages Jun 1906
Tattam Emily Jemima Bethnal G. 1c 290

One child, surname Ettridge.

Fixated on this one ... Samuel in 1901:

Joseph Beager 41
Sarah Beager 40
Joseph Beager 13
Samuel Beager 4
Daniel Beager 16
Jane Beager 8
Sarah Beager 11

Lots of Beagers in trees here, none of them ...

Sandra, the Trust secretary and I both thank you so much for all this work guys. You're saving us so much time and a steep learning curve as neither of us would have known where to start on here. I'll keep checking in to see how it's going. My next day off work is mid-week (shiftwork).

If you need any info from me PM me and I'll get back to you asap, I'm working late-ish each day, and the weekends are long days, so don't expect immediate replies but I'll do my best. It's the least I can do, you're all working so hard for this cause.

Overwhelmed Anna.x

Yes thats the one i thought it might be Evie.
on cwgc site if you open the page for details of a person open the Reporting Authority(Bethnal Green)
Then open Cemetery Reports you will find the names

HI All

Thanks for all the data that's coming through. Don't think me rude if I don't respond to you al individually, I am busy putting the data in.

With the CWGC you will get most of the victims via the Bethnal Green reporting authority but a few died at hospitals eg Maureen Mead reporting authority STEPNEY, METROPOLITAN BOROUGH

NB All the Mead family and Eliza Korobenic should be on the found list as they are related to the 2 George Meads who are found.

Cheers Victoria

RAOLINAITIS = RAULINAITIS at CWGC, working on him.

Births Mar 1911
Raulinajtis Joseph St. Geo. East 1c 264

Getting there, just storing my stuff here.

Found parents and siblings I think ... but no luck in 1911 or anything after. I have no doubt they all changed their names to Rawlings!

1911

ROLYNAITIS JOSEPH M 1910 1 St George in the East London
with parents William and Annie (Anna) and siblings Maryy, Natalia, Nellie.

Still no matches in GR trees (oh, for a fuzzy search capacity !!!!) so will probably give him up, unless someone else wants to take a stab.

I'm also trying trees at Ancestry, but to no avail in this case.
