Greenwich Area. Have Burial Certificate from Kew.
He was married to MARY RATTLE b1778 d1855 1831 Census born Church Lane Greenwich.
Would be more than grateful if you can help I was Born in 1922 Lubbock Street New Cross and brought up in Charlton now live in Preston Lancs.

Unfortunately I dont haverecords as late as that. The only way to find him is by contacting the council, and paying for a cemetary search.Most of the Church graveyards where full in Woolwich by the 1890s
Anne

RED: Woolwich , which comes under Greenwich now.
They have a web page, but I warn you, the cemetary search is a bit hit and miss. I paid £30, and all I got was a phone call to say that they couldnt find my relative.!

Anne would just like to thank you for your last message on the 17th May, sorry I've only just picked this up a few hiccups with the living meant putting FH to one side.

I wonder if Ernestine could have been registered under one name then always referred to by Ernestine, that's the name on her marriage cert.

Do you think that could have been a possibility.

Anyway thanks for all your hard work, you deserve a holiday.

Hi
She was probably named after her aunt Ernestine Smythe, a (famous) soprano opera singer, who came from Montreal Canada?
Did you know about that??
So I firmly believe that was not her registered name, but the name her family called her, and she used it permanently.Have you tried for her fathers Army records, that would have all the details of his family on that, just a thought.
Regards
Anne (by the way I was in hospital not on holiday LOL)

Whoops sorry Anne hope your A1 now, thanks for that and yes I did know about her Aunt Ernestine, and also have a copy of her fathers Army record but only for when he enlisted and his marriage cert. Ernestine Smyth/e the opera singer on the census is shown Prussian BS, but RA concert records state from Montreal Canada, that is where she married James Smyth/e.

Thanks for all your help with this and I will let you know if anything comes up trumps.

Take care
Frances

Hi Anne
I have the baptism record of George Thomas Shepherd at Union Ind Chapel in Sim Alley off Church Street Woolwich in1823, place of abode as Plumstead and parents Joseph and Mary Shepherd. I am hoping there may be a record of their marriage in the area or maybe siblings baptised at other churches. George died on 24/05/1865 in Bexley Heath, his name is spelt Sheppard on the death cert.and on his marriage cert in 1844 to Ann Lee, Is there a burial record for him please?

Hi Anne,
Thank you for this kind offer, I am looking for the deaths/Buriels of James & Martha Lock. In 1911 they were living at 54 Conway Road,Plumstead, aged 71 & 66,The next generation are buried in Plumstead Cemetery.
Thank you Gill

Been away for a few days will be looking for you Linda as soon as I can

Unfortunately the only way to find burials in the 1900s is to contact the Greenwich councils and pay for a search of the burial records. Most of the church yards where full, and the cemeteries in Lewisham and Charlton where used as well as Woolwich. The search is appx £40 now.

Anne
