Nothing obvious regarding month/s for Bertha E's birth.

The reference has a MAR included but that may not mean March.

Oh I will check A N Other birth refs and see if they include other months.

EDIT I'm a bit slow today. The MAR relates to March, Cambridgeshire.

In 1911 Bertha is living with a Brown family as a baorder, which we kind of knew but the census confirmed for us who she was liviing with. but by this point shes appeared as Edna Granger, (the name she from now grew up with)

Thanks for your help

Sorry, I have to go out now but will try to look back later.

There is no Joseph Titmarsh in the correct area - so it looks like that Joseph Granger birth that has already been posted.

rootgatherer

rootgatherer Report 25 Aug 2011 13:04

Looks like Srah Jane's mother is still in the same area until her death in 1928. This looks like her in 1911

HOUSEHOLD GRANGER SARAH F 1843 68 North Witchford Cambridgeshire

Living with these people?

HOUSEHOLD GRANGER FRED M 1909 2 North Witchford Cambridgeshire
HOUSEHOLD GRANGER HERBERT WILLIAM M 1896 15 North Witchford Cambridgeshire
HOUSEHOLD GRANGER IDA F 1876 35 North Witchford Cambridgeshire
HOUSEHOLD GRANGER TOM M 1871 40 North Witchford Cambridgeshire
HOUSEHOLD GRANGER WILLIAM M 1869 42 North Witchford Cambridgeshire


Who was Bertha with in 1911 please?

Thomas

Thomas Report 25 Aug 2011 12:47

Thanks,

I have her birth certificate and i guess that she must have married an titmarsh.

If i am to look for her children would u search for joseph granger or joseph titmarch?

Sorry - looking again at the 1901 it is a William Granger and his family living at The Causeway in 1901 and he also has a daughter Bertha but she is aged 8 years.

rootgatherer Report 25 Aug 2011 12:39

I might be going off at a tangent here but do you know whne Bertha's mother died please?

Could this be her marrying in 1917?

Marriages Sep 1917

Granger Sarah J Titmarsh Downham 4b 627
