Hi Roy

Thats the only info the war record gives Im affraid.

The other deaths of the children that you cant find may not have been transcribed yet so it means looking through the indexes, which is a 'nasty' job!!

Thanks Ginny

I did worry that Reginald may have been a casualty of WW1 , as he was the only one old enough.

Does the info. say about what battle he may have been killed in ?

Many thanks for other info. on Victor Fitzjohn.

Hi Cassy !

Thanks for info. on Victor + Boris' marriage - did he have any children ?

Vanished ! - the children of George Fitzjohn ( born 1868 in Uppingham , Rutland ) & Minnie ( nee Burditt , born 1870 in Rothwell near Kettering in Northamptonshire ) - married Kettering 1896 .

They are with their parents on 1911 census ( all born in Little Bowden in Market Harborough area of Leicestershire / Northamptonshire ) :

Reginald John ( Born 1898 )

Musa Annie ( 1899 )

Craven ( 1904 )

Victor Mears ( 1906 )

Boris Burditt ( 1909 )

Thomas M. ( 1913 )


I can find the death of daughter Iris Alice Fitzjohn ( 1902 - 1917 , in Market Harborough ) but no deaths & only one possible marriage in 1949 ( for Thomas Fitzjohn )...all seem to vanish ( on FreeBMD,anyway ).

Did they emigrate ?

Any help with this very elusive family would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks !
