Good Morning to everybody,Thankyou all again.Lots and lots to sort out,so much information and so quickly.
It is lovely to find out about my grandad,he was the most happy and optimistic person that I have ever met. He was a despatch rider in WW1. His daughter,my mother, went on to become Britains first,long distance,lady lorry driver .Regards,Rita

Hello,wow,I have only just seen all the latest posts,I didn't realise there was Page 2.
The reason for the closed entry,on the census,I think,is because my grandmother had a son,before she married Henry Moseley,he was brought up thinking that his grandmother,Harriett Crosby,nee Bend,was his mother.

Harriett was my great grandmother,9th May 1867,Easthorpe,Bottesford,Denton,Lincoln and Leicester.Reg District,Grantham.Her death cert,10th April,1961,she was 93years,I was born 1948,so I remember her very well.I have a book of quotes and copied poems, written by Harriett,inside page it is written,Miss H.Bend,,Borough Asylum,Humberstone,Leicester,1888,she worked there as an attendant and,I think,met Joseph Crosby.They moved to a mental hospital in Nottingham.I have a letter addressed to him asking him to start work,he did his RMPA training there,they moved to Saxondale Hospital and both worked there.His Death Cert,27th April,1926.I have his RMPA cert and badge and photo's.Really grateful to everybody who have taken their time to help research. Regards,Rita.

You can buy credits for the site as it's pay to view. Minimum £5 I think. £2 worth of those will allow you to view a scan of the Cremation Register which should tell you, amongst other things, who is asking for the cremation, address of deceased

People born after 1915, whose death has not subsequently been proved will not show on the 1939 register for privacy reasons.

Interesting the scan to view second item did not come up as when I first copied it.

Think it may have to do with the area of baptism is on the border of 2 areas.

Death.
CROSBY - On April 27th. of double pneumonia, Joseph. beloved husband of Harriet Crosby and loving father of Elsie and Babs. R.I.P.

That birth from FMP - Definitely 7a 457 - if you look at the original it also says 7a 457, there isn't a 451

I can assure you Freebmd came up with the 2 posts for Harriet Bend

One transcriber arkay the other zoer.

I have clicked on both and yes they do both say 457 on the original

Autumnleaves -

perhaps I didn't explain myself well enough - no 451 comes up on FMP.

Yes, both numbers come up on freebmd, I'm not arguing that. If you click on 451 or 457 on freebmd Harriett can be found amongst the other Grantham births for June 1867 but with a different set of other names depending on the reference number. If you click on 451 or 457 from this point you only get back to 457 on the scanned original register, so obviously 451 has been wrongly transcribed (by zoer).

I have reported the fault to freebmd
