Hi Nicola.

I think you must be on a different timeline - i.e. in a far away place in the world from me ???

I am trying to stay awake and waiting for your scan to come through as I think I have found something useful for you.

- Come back soon !!!!

Dea Xxx

Sorry Dea,
I work long hours and only get late evenings free time but off tomorrow. I have sent the scan copy, let me know when you get it. I really appreciate your help.
Kind regards
Nicky

The Electrol roll for 39 Scrutton Street found by AustinQ is a great help and I can't wait to look into these other names that where living there during the time that my mum Mary and her siblings were born at 39 Scrutton St. Mum remembers Arthur Stickler he is the father of her youngest brother. She also remembers her grand parents John William Elliott & Elizabeth Alice Elliott living across the road from N0 39.
I will ask her tomorrow if any of the other names ring any bells. It seems that 39 Scrutton Street was the residence of her mothers family the Elliotts and may not shed much light on her father Frederick Ricketts family. Will have to keep searching and thanks everyone

Got the scan Nicola and I am 'on the case' but the writing really is horrendous.

Back later.........................

Just one thing to note at the moment:

You said above "Father Albert Ricketts was listed as deceased on son Frederick marriage cert in 1930."

The marriage cert does 'not' show that he was deceased !!!

(Holywell Row is at the end of Scrutton Street)

Sarah Ann Elliott married John J Linley in 1933

Nicola - I think the witness 'may' be William CREW ?? - What do you think ?

If you look at the end of the surname it looks like a double 'l' but if you compare it to the two l's in William they are much shorter. I think it is a 'w'.

It looks like he has stopped joining the letters after what looks like an 'e' and then started again on the line, moving upwards in a curve to the top of a 'w' ??

There is one living nearby who 'might' be him so I am trying to follow him through to hopefully find a connection somewhere:

Crondall Street is just over a 1/2 mile walk from Scrutton Street according to Google maps.

Thank you Choccy

Gracious!, so Goswell could be Crew...

(Occ. given for Alfred wouldn't be Printer, by any chance, instead of Painter?)

Well that would make sense Chris but I keep looking at it and it does seem to say Painter !!! - Mind you, the writing is so appalling that it could say anything - it is the only word on the whole cert which appears to be clearly written !

Thank you you Dea for looking at it I told you it was bad. Not sure about Crew I just can't see it. Although New North road is only half a mile away from Scrutton Street. My Mum doesnt remember the name Goswell or Crew.

I know this area very well, Crondall Street is where my mum went to school, it is just off New North Road and the Elliott side of the family were printers. The writing on the marriage cert is so bad, it's impossible to say for sure. Where do I go from here to find Fred's family? I suppose I need to find his birth cert with father Al????

I will keep looking Nicola - The name 'could' also be GREW and I have been following one of those too but getting nowhere at the moment................... :-(

Dont give up yet though !!!
