Hello sorry I'm late replying to you I had an emergency with one of my children,

Thank you so much for your help with this, I have only just started on the head side of my family tree I started with my nan alma charlotte head 1919 and worked backwards but we didn't know she had a sister called Lucy until I found her, I sent off for her birth certificate to make sure and yes she's definitely my nans sister. So I thought I'd try and research Lucy more but seem to have got stuck??

I'm wondering if she died young??

Thank you kinds regards
Trudy :-)

If she died 'young', the record will be on freebmd

Have you looked there?

Although, someone would surely have posted it by now if such record existed

Trudy Report 18 Nov 2014 10:32

Oh and I've just noticed a Lilian mercy head I didn't know about her either.

The baptism records for some of the children are on
http://www.freereg.org.uk/cgi/Search.pl

The images themselves migt be on http://cityark.medway.gov.uk/
City Ark have recently withdrawn images of events less than 100 years ago. If the film contained later events, it may no longer be on-line :-(

I haven't looked on free bmd my computer throughs me out :-(

I'll order the death Certs and get the names of the informants thank you

Jacqueline

Jacqueline Report 18 Nov 2014 10:38

As you have the birth cert, please tell us the full second name

What reason does your computer give for throwing you out when trying to access freebmd?

It's a perfectly safe site

Trudy Report 18 Nov 2014 10:39

It doesn't state her middle name on the cert just the letter B ??

Where on nans it says alma charlotte head.

The 1911 census says that they'd had 4 children, 1 had died.
Also there's no Mrs McLaren on the original.
