To give you a kick-start...........

MALIN, ARTHUR ALBERT (MMN) WARD
GRO Reference: 1885 J Quarter in POPLAR Volume 01C Page 559

Now look for siblings....................

The entry referred to for Arthur from the 1939 register (shown here in a different format from earlier.)

Also on the 1911/1921 census already shown with place of birth given

1939 Register
17 Woodville Road, T Heath, Croydon, Croydon C.B., Surrey, England

First name(s) Last name(s) Birth date Sex Occupation Marital status Schedule Schedule sub number
Arthur A Malin 09 May 1885 Male Fishmonger Married 399 1
Lavinia A Malin 14 Apr 1883 Female Unpaid Domestic Duties Married 399 2

As he was born before Q4 1911 you'll need to use the GRO site to find his Mother's maiden name.

You can then check for other births with the same combination of names and look for a marriage of the parents.

Then look for census with the family on

Then check census to find the family

The 1911 census for the family says married 44 years with 18 children born, of which 9 have died!

EDIT - Have found 15 births - 9 alive 1911 and 6 died

You do have to register with the GRO but it IS free. You may already have done this if you have purchased certificates as suggested.

If you don’t know how sites like freebmd work try and copy the infirmstion you have already been given.

Find Arthur's birth registration on the GRO site then look for siblings using the two surnames.

You refer to him as your great uncle - therefore one of his siblings must have been your grandparent

Much more fun for you to find things for yourself as far as possible

Look for Arthur on the various census.

Use the freebmd site mentioned earlier

Try the sister sites of freereg.org.uk and freecen.org.uk

Thanks everyone for this information its much appreciated. I would like help now with Brothers etc of my Great Uncle Arthur Malin who is mentioned above.

And Lily. Appears to be 2 children at this point, you can check for others.

As Patricia's details are "open" on the register, it indicates that she has died. She married a second time to SAWYER. The surname change was noted on the register on 4.7.1955 - not necessarily the date of the marriage but only when the change was made.

Looks like Doris married a further twice - first to SEAR and then PYKE (not Pyute - bad transcription). Thomas may already be in the forces and so not registered at home.

Possibly 2 children by 1939, (closed records) but info. withheld due to 100 year rule. You can search these records yourself
