These are the divorce papers for Rosina

So it looks like your grandfather filed for divorce and also named the man Rosina was 'friends' with.....John Albert Vickers


You can order or view these from The National Archives, heres the link

I would take a guess that after Rosina left the family home she was never mentioned again so maybe thats where the 'died in the blizt' story came from

Oh Ginny Thank you <3 <3 <3 I can't believe you managed to fine all that out :-D I wonder if she had children with John Albert Vickers. I think she had another daughter in 1939 the year she married her second husband :)

There appears to children for Rosina and Gerald Peters, you can find them here

http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

I wont post them as they could still be living

Thank you Ginny. I can't work out how to search for children on that site :( (((((( What do I need to put in to get the child up of Gerald & Rosina? I'm sorry I'm putting on you xxxxxxxx

You need to enter the name Peters in the surname and the name Baker in mothers name

Then add the dates you want to search between, I searched 1937-1940

Have you read back on the divorce I posted?

Nope...ignore me, there are not any children as I can see. I clicked marriages not births

Sorry

Thank you Ginny xxxxx Yes I've had a look at the divorce papers but will go back and read everything a bit more throughly. I've got a bit excited trying to find more children:)))) It looks like my Grandmother packed quite a bit in her short life :)

Yes she was a 'one' by the looks of it! But so were the men too ;-)

LOL Thank you for all your help x

Hi, I can see that this is quite an old post, however I thought I would see if you are still looking into your Grandmother. Rosina is of great interest to me, I have just found her name on what appears to be my great grandparents Census record. My grandmother, was Queenie Georgina Louise Baker born in 1909 she died when my now 87 year old Dad was a young boy during the war. We had always thought that Queenie had just the one brother John (who we knew as Jack) who was born in 1913. Rosina also appears on the 1909 Census for 31 Cremorne Chelsea. It also appears that she remarried several times, (Spafford in 1925, Peters in 1939 and finally Baker in 1951). Until I found this record I had no knowledge of Rosina, I would love to know if you know more about her now.

Following up to my previous post, I can see that Rosina is definately my Grandmothers sister, the marriage record states the address as Dartree Road the same house as my Father was born in Chelsea.

To try to make contact with Joy, click on her name and send a message

If her email hasn't changed since she joined GR, she will be notified, and have the option of responding - or not.

Thanks EricaH,

I will give it a try. The community on Genesreunited does appear to be depleting somewhat. There was quite an active discussion on here back in 2011.. I just wish I had done enough to be able to contact Joy back then.

I appreciate your help.
