This is possibly the mothers death.......

Deaths Mar 1901 (>99%)
Keefe Elizabeth 38 Pancras 1b 81

There does not appear to be a marriage between William Keefe and Elizabeth.

Unless you know Elizabeth's maiden name.......you will need to purchase a copy of one of the children's birth certificates.

I know that my mum, Ivy Lillian Keefe, her mum died in childbirth with her in 1897. Elizabeth I believe she is Elizabeth Hannah Atkins. I found a marriage in 1885.
I am thrilled that Alfreds' address was found as I remember going there as a young girl, in Potters Bar.

Sorry Prickles, I seem to have missed that :-0 but it does look likely though and if she did die as a result of childbirth then this might be a possible for another daughter?

Hmmm..........the family were living in Kings Road on the 1891 and 1901 census.

Dea Report 13 Apr 2015 12:50

Probably unlikely then but you never know ! ;-)

The Robert St address seems to have been mainly used as a Boarding House in 1901.

My mum, Ivy Lillian Keefe, did say that she was one of a twin that died. I will take Elizabeth Hannah Atkins out then.
Definitely born in October of 1897.

No 19 and No 23

How annoying is that!

:-|

I found Martin Bishop still living at No 7 Kings Road in 1911.........it only goes up to No 11.

I wondered if the eldest child William might have been living there with his siblings in 1911.

Especially as Louisa Ellen gives 21 Kings Road as her place of residence at the time of her marriage in 1914.

PricklyHolly Report 14 Apr 2015 11:06

It states on the child William's School Admissions Record, that he was born 15th Nov 1880.

I am not seeing a birth registered for a William Keefe in late 1880 or in 1881.

If he was born 1880, then he should appear on the 1881 census.

Perhaps his birth was registered with Elizabeth's maiden name and they both appear together on the 1881 census with that surname.
