Not at the moment seeing this letter

His daughter is given as Rose

Even looked at the record before and after

Is this the one you mean?


A letter dated 5th September (can't see the year)


'I beg to inform you that I have only one child who I sent the birth certificate on with my marriage certificate. The child that you mention doesn't belong to me but my husband told me that he was the father of the said child.

Yours faithfully

Mrs Poole'

Thank you for looking Rose was not his daughter he marriesd A rose Wikinson in 1918 she had a son and before I lost my sight and really wish I had made a note of it then I was sure there was a letter from this Rose saying that he had taken on her son thanks anyway
Margaret

Well done Choccy, ive also been looking, but with my eye problem i could not make it all out, but now you have posted the details i can make it out

I was going to post the image number which is 16514, so otheres could also look at it.

There is a request dated 2.9.18 by the Officer in charge of Records for the birth certificate of Rose Poole.
Then there is a letter possibly dated 5.9.( page corner turned over) stating

Sir

I beg to inform you that I have only one child who I sent the birth certificate in with my marriage certificate. The child that you mention does not belong to me, but my husband told me that he was the father of the said child.
Yours faithfully
Mrs Poole.


Gwyn............ah Choccy got there first while I was typing.

On the page of documents where Walter Poole's children are mentioned, there is note of an Albert Wilkinson born 16.9. 1917 ( year blurred) He was born in Shoreditch

Gwyn

As I remember that is what it said I know Wajter Albert married a Rose Wilkinson in 1918 i have the certificate her fathers name was a John Wison on that certificate so I do not beleive the the child Born in 1817 Albert Wilkinson was the son of Walter Albert Poole
As the boys name was Wikinson but also I can't find a marriage for a Rose Wilson to a Wilkinson before he was born

Marriages Sep 1918 (>99%)

Poole Walter A Wilkinson Bethnal G. 1c 324
Wilkinson Rose Poole Bethnal G. 1c 324

Rose is said to be a Widow in the Army records

I think Albert is Rose's son before marrying Walter POOLE

Births Dec 1917

Wilkinson Albert ...Wilson ... Shoreditch 1c 79

Choccy It looks as though she was married but I can't find her marriage to a Wilkinson. I have rhe death certificate of Walter Albert Poole and it looks as though
Albert son registered the death but was calling himself Poole . I can't anything on Rose thanks
Margaret

You could do with their marriage cert for more info.
Jan

Hi Jan I have got their marriage certificate Walter Albert Poole to Rose Wikinson in 1819 and she is down as a widow but I can't find a marriage for a Rose Wilson to a Wilkinson. Wilson was her maiden name her fathers name was John Wilson
Margaret

Roughly when was she born Margaret? Might be wandering off too far, but maybe finding her father might track her down a bit - what was his occupation, and do you have an address for her on the marriage cert?
Jan

On her marriage certificate in 1918 it says she was
33 years old so that makes her born about 1895
the address is Kay Street Bethnal Green her father was
John Wilson abottle washer does not say he was deceased.
Margaret

Birth year about 1885!

I can't find her. There is this but father a railway porter so doesn't seem very promising:
