Hi Both

Great information I had found her death but no the actual date

I wonder could the person have misheard the mum's name (although they do not sound similar)

I believe I am on the right line but so frustrating about Jessie

It seems unlikely that Edward would be given Ottaway as his middle name if he were some other woman's child.

Perhaps Jessie was a "pet" name for Olivia? Or the clerk made a mistake at the christening?

I wonder if Jessie could just be a pet name for Olivia and that is what was given when the baptism record was filled in?

Great minds think alike ArgyllGran !!!

I'm not seeing the christening on Ancestry or FS.
Where did you find it, please?

(Presumably FMP?)

EDIT:

Oh, yes, I see it there.

Hi ArgyllGran

It is on Ancestry x

I found it on Findmypast. The mother's name is given as Jessie on all three children's records.

Mmmm that is what is throwing me

Hi, I'm late with joining this thread. Started at the beginning so I'm going back to Celia Whitehead.

On 27th August, Andrew posted the 1871 census for Celia with parents William and Eliza Choke.

In the 1841 and 1851 censuses, Thomas Whitehead born 1820 in Monks Horton, was in Maidstone prison for theft.

In 1857 Eliza Whitehead and her children: James 13; Egerton 9 and William 6 entered St.Martin's workhouse.

So I thought it more likely that Celia's father was William Choke rather than Thomas.

Hi Christina - thanks for your thoughts

I think I may then have a wrong birth certificate - the marriage certificate that I have I know is correct and this does confirm her fathers name as William

The only thing is I could only find one birth for a Celia Whitehead?

Thanks

You probably have the correct birth certificate. Thomas Whitehead would likely have been named as the father as Celia's mother was still married to him.

The marriage certificate shows that Thomas was born in 1820, with a father James.

There's a Thomas Whitehead born 1820 in Monks Horton with father James. This one fits the Thomas Whitehead who was in Maidstone prison.
