Find Ancestors

Thanks all.

I cannot find an army record unfortunately.

I have no idea when they were born as all I have is what is on the birth cert for the child.

That may well be the right Florence. Without a marriage I can't see a way of proving it.

Why do I do this???? lol

I have been going round in circles all afternoon again, missing the rugby!!

The above Florence died in 1990

There is a Florence May Lee, single in Hertfordshire on the 1939 reg, that there is no update on her name would suggest she didn't marry ( at least not in England or Wales). She would have been approx 28 at time of the birth.

Have you considered the possibllity that the couple married overseas?
It's possible that he was Canadian or Australian or even a GI.

His army records may give a clue as to when he married, if he did marry.
It should also give you his date of birth and next of kin.

Do you have any idea when the couple were born?

The birth was registered in Bushey Watford but the parents lived in Wembley. I should have said that before

Austin I have sent you a PM

I understand the need for privacy-

But I'm not seeing the birth (on the indexes) in Wembley.

Have you found the couple on the electoral registers?

I do have the birth cert, which is where I got all the info from. I have not given the child's name because its still alive, but it is not possible to speak to it. Makes life difficult.

Not seeing the birth of the child in Wembley. Or have I misunderstood. Do you have the birth certificate for the child? What was the address.

EDIT: Person still living. It appears to be the child registered in Watford. (free bmd)

If so, it looks as though the parent's weren't married- the birth is registered in surname Day and Lee.

I don't know. This is why I want to find the marriage cert so I can help identify them and their parents

where was he born

You would think it would be easy to find the marriage of someone with names like Frederick Benjamin Day and Florence May Lee. Well. I spent hours yesterday without any success.

Frederick and Florence had a child (the only one I think) in 1941. Frederick was a Gunner 2066769 Royal Artillery. His trade was carpenter and joiner. They lived in Wembley.

Can anyone find what I cannot please?
