Given that Rose was born in 1921 and that her mother 'may' have been aged between 18 and 25 (so born between 1896 and 1903) at the time of the birth this looks like a very good chance of being her?

Re Tracey's question -- Rosina Mary Bailey Theobald's death record will state at least an age, and if it was after 1971, a date of birth.

That should help a lot in trying to identify her birth.

Any other relevant info you have that nobody else knows, please do offer it up.

Hi There

When did Rosina (the mother) die?


Tracey x

There are lots of marriages for the name Rosina M. Bailey but none to a John Theobald. It could be that they were not actually married, or that Rosina had been previously married so the marriage to John Theobald would be in a different name.

thankyou for looking for the marriage records, as we only know the death of Rose's mother.
Rose's mother's name is Rosina Mary Bailey.

What was Rose's mother's name??

I have looked for a marriage between a John Theobald and a Bailey (Rose's parents) but I can't find one at the moment.

Parents have 6 weeks to register a birth and the date given above is the date when the birth was registered - not when the birth occurred. Where it mentions Bailey this is not part of Rose's name but the maiden name of the mother so these do seem to be your family.

County boundaries have changed a lot over the years so I wouldn't take too much notice of what county is given.

Kath, this is interesting too! As the sisters were twins, but we aren't so sure about the registration county... however everything else there seems to be correct. Thankyou very much for finding this out, it has been helpful, anything else you may find out would be greatly appreciated.

This is interesting as everything is correct except the birth date.
Also, Rose Irene Theobald's mother's maiden name was Bailey, however, I have her birth certificate here and there is no mention of Bailey in her name.

This looks like Elsie's birth:-

Name: Elsie M Theobald
Mother's Maiden Surname: Bailey
Date of Registration: Jan Feb Mar 1925
Registration district: Edmonton
Registration county: Hertfordshire, Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Middlesex
Volume Number: 3a
Page Number: 940

This could be the other sister (seems they might be twins):-

Name: Violet E Theobald
Mother's Maiden Surname: Bailey
Date of Registration: Jan Feb Mar 1925
Registration district: Edmonton
Registration county: Hertfordshire, Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Middlesex
Volume Number: 3a
Page Number: 940

So this is her birth

Births Mar 1921 (>99%)
Theobald Rose I Bailey W.Ham 4a 693

I do, yes.
She was born in West ham on the sixth of december 1920. She married Stanley William Samuel Abbey in 1941 in Leyton.
Her father was a John Theobald, but we know nothing about him. So, I am a bit stuck.

Do you have any idea when and where Rose was born and who she married?

Kath. x

I was wondering if anyone could help me here. My great nan was Rose Theobald (known as Peg to most, though) and I'm finding it hard to trace the Theobalds, I would be grateful to any suggestions or anyone who may knew of her. Her sister was an Else Theobald who married Arthur Arnold...I know there was another sister, however, we are unsure of her name. I also know that Rose was born in West Ham, London and moved to Norfolk when my nan, Linda, was 17/18.

Sorry if this is just a rambling of information, I thought the most I could throw out there the better.

Thank you.

Shona.
