The burial disc isn't so good, it doesn't have all the area's on and is a bit hit and miss with the dates it goes up to. I'll have a look and see if I can find anyone.

Oh boy, you're going to wish you'd never asked that!
How are you on burials! I only found the Gee and Worrall families 1 week ago as we hadn't been able to find my grandmother's birth certificate. That arrived today so I've been hard at it since I got home from work.
If you have any clues as to dates of death I'd be very grateful. In fact...anything!

Hi Dea, it's great to have so many wonderful people to steer me in the right direction. I am really so grateful to them all. Now I just need to find out who the Caroline Worrall was who was present at the birth and registered it. I thought it was Mary's mother but according to the census her name was Sarah.

Dea

Well,..........lots of kind souls out there who confirm that it looks like you are doing O.K. !!!

Hi K, they both match the marriage certificate of 1906 although William's occupation is just general labourer.

K

K Report 11 Sep 2008 18:27

Robert Gee was a framework knitter in 1901 and William had become a labourer in an Iron Foundary which would match the marriage cert.

Pamela

Pamela Report 11 Sep 2008 18:21

Thanks K, looks as though I might have got the right family. I've got them on the 1891 census as well.

Hi K, that's what I thought. The occupation looked right.

That's good point Gwyn. I'll have a trawl through the death records. I hope he wasn't a bigamist!

At that time, a child's surname was inferred not stated. ie. there was no actual box to fill in the surname as there is now.
The fact that Caroline had Gee included in her forenames does strongly suggest that that was her father's surname.
Have you looked for a previous marriage for him?
I have known of someone who had a sick wife in a hospital, had a child with someone else and who married after the wife eventually died.
He too was a ' bachelor ' at marriage.

Perhaps a Mrs GEE died between June 1904 and October 1906.?

K Report 11 Sep 2008 18:04

I wonder if she was reregistered when the couple married.

I understand that with unmarried couples the father has to be present for his name to be included

The Robert Gee you found born in Leicester looks good with his occupation tying in with the marraige cert

Hi ValT
Looks as though they were. I don't think they were family. They aren't names I have come across anywhere else.
