Reggie and patchem, just wanted to say thanks for pointing out the info on mays marriage. it would seem that i did indeed have the wrong marriage. so thankyou to you both as i need to amend my paperwork in my records.

thanks again

Did you note the info about May?

And that your idea of who she married is not correct?

The 1907 death posted above was for Mary................not May

Hello again peeps. henry syrett's father was also henry syrett just to complicate things! henry was 45 on the marriage cert so 64 at death would be correct. i noticed that sometimes henry is written as harry as i think they are sometimes one of the same. confusing isnt it?

may indeed did die young although i dont know what of, dont have a death cert unfortunately.
thanks again

Just putting that marriage for May, as in London:
Marriages Dec 1915
Bonfield George H Syrett Mile End 1c 1282
Syrett May A Bonfield Mile End 1c 1282

Added:
and birth:
Births Sep 1893
Syrett May Amelia Stepney 1c 419

No, she is not Hannah's daughter, this is a different May who appears on the 1901 census and 1911 census in London with mother Amelia..

Do you have an address on the death cert?
To be honest, apart from Harry, I can't see any of them 1911!

patchem may was may amelia and she married george bonfield in 1915 ond. couldnt find her in 1911. all a bit of a mystery where they all went?
thanks anyway

If this is daughter May's marriage, then she was also around in 1911;
Marriages Jun 1921
Syrett May M Evans Hollingbourne 2a 1937

reggie, yes this was their son harry, the dad was henry. thanks patchem for that

Really strange - there isn't a record on CWGC of the death found on Ancestry

Yes, she was a bit careless with the truth.

Isn't that the son, Patchem?

EDIT;

I see you've posted additional info which confirms my supposition

I've just realised - belatedly - that Hannah was calling herself Syrett and having Syrett children long before she married Henry
Slow on the uptake this AM!

ok reggie, think i will do that. i have tried exhaustively and failed with this part of our tree.the weird spelling/eroors didnt help.
thanks for your help. will leave it here as i dont want people to waste too much time looking. i just thought a fresh pair of eyes might help, but from your replies it doesnt look as if it will gain anything new.
thanks for all your replies

Thanks for your help peeps. sorry yes 1902 is correct. from talking to my aunty, hollingbourne was the district latterly where the family were so im 99% sure this is her and her age fits in too. i have her first marriage etc and had a previous thread for that but not wanting to reinstate that just trying to find hannah thats all, but its proved quite hard.
as for her husband henry syrett, not sure what happened to him, thought he was away fighting but no matter its only her im interested in.
if i ordered the death cert would it tell me an address and who informed the death?
i do have hannahs marr cert, she was living in ashford , kent then.
thanks
