This is the only Linda Maud or Linda C I can find in London.

SNAP Janey.

Only just come to this thread, so will dig a little more.

I can't see Linda or Charles Patrick in 1901.

I also checked the IY to see whether Charles might have been in the Anglo-Boer war and possibly killed there, but no result.

And I don't see another death for Charles Patrick.

Thank you Janey, am I right in thinking Deptford is in Greenwich. If you dont mind me asking where did you get this record. So there is a poss that Gilbert and Floradora that I found in previous thread could be Arthur's siblings...............Janey how do I copy the information on records onto these threads

Yup. This is Linda in 1891:

Again speculating, but Patrick sounds like an Irish name, could there be a poss that they split and Charles Patrick went to Ireland. I prob just got an over active imaganation lol

Lishman sounds Jewish !

There were actually loads of Patricks in the area. Try what I just did on spec: search for births in Greenwich reg dist 1899-1908. Many. Might be originally Irish but well settled in the area.

Actually -- check your records! -- John Lishman in the 1891 was born in Devon c1840.

thanks for copy and pasting tip

1901, John, Elizabeth and Lola are together in Deptford. John shows as born in Devonport c1840 again.

Not finding him in 1851 or 1861 or a marriage before the birth of Linda.

Okay, this is his birth:

Births Sep 1840
Lishman John Rufus Stoke Damerel 9 390

(Stoke Damerel does = Devonport; a whole branch of my family mixes them up too)

So he married twice:

Marriages Sep 1865
> Lishman John Rufus Plymouth 5B 514
DALLINGER Emma
Penfound Thomasine Emma

Marriages Dec 1886
LISHMAN John Rufus Bethnal Green 1c 357
HOWARD Elizabeth

and only Linda's birth certificate would say who her mother was.


Nope, the 1881 census will say: ;)

John Lishman 40
> Emma Lishman 36
Edith Lishman 16
Leopold Lishman 13
Linda M. Lishman 2
Lola Lishman
Civil parish: Deptford St Paul


The kids' names *might* suggest Jewish parents, but I suspect they were just trendy. John is a labourer and the various neighbours in 81/91/01 don't seem Jewish, for what that's worth.

Here we are in 1871 -- Samson is a fine old Devon/Cornwall (more Cornwall) name:

John R Lishman 30 - Coast Guard
Samson E Lishman 27
Emily E A B Lishman 7
Leopold Lishman 3
Civil parish: Worth Matravers
Town: Worth
County/Island: Dorset
Registration district: Wareham

Oh. Except that "Samson" is his wife, really Tamsen, I'd say. That makes her this one from the first marriage:

Penfound Thomasine Emma

Name Linda Lishman
Age 2
Estimated Year of Birth 1879
Relationship to Head of Household Daughter
Occupation Juvenile
Address 10, Hood Street
District Greenwich, St Paul Deptford
Parish St Paul Deptford
Administrative County Kent
Birth Place Deptford
Birth County Kent


just trying the copy and pasting
