Maybe. Ken's mother died before 1980 i think, but I will check. If I know more about kens father could search 1910-1920 for a marriage. Steve

Sorry if i misunderstood..... If Ken's sister has died, can you source her death regsitration which will include her date of birth?? When did she die? Otherwise you are left with trawling the death or birth registrations for Ken, and I'm not sure how you would know you had the right one? (Except for the ''Womb'' thing!). You would still need to cross reference with his sister's birth to check they both had the same mother's maiden name (if they were full siblings) Merry

Could it be that Ken(neth) was his middle name, but he was known by it? Kate.

She isn't alive. Steve

Is she Ken's full sister??? If she is then presumably she knows her own birth details?? Look up her birth record and the mother's maiden name should be the same as for Ken. At least you would know what you are looking for then. Merry

Hi, Sorry guys and girls. I don't know what to say except thank for any look-ups or info passed. Someone is telling me something, I suspect dodgy info. I suspect Kenneth Bristow's sister Lily or Lilian/Lillian was born around 1920-1930. I suspected Ken was same. I never had the death of Ken to go on (GRO wise anyway), one of these dates must be right. All I had was born Lambeth 3-5-1920 died Dec 1981 and Ken Bristow. Mothers name sounds like woomb/womb, whatever that is LOL Looby Someone is telling me porkies I am sure, or mis information or... I don't know what The source I got it from was the sister of Ken Bristow. My aunties mother. Thanks all Steve

Seems to me that Steve is going to have to begin again with this!! Merry

In which case I apologise for casting aspersions (?spelling) Looby

Hi Looby, Can't say I remember this one from before.......maybe it was someone else?? Merry

Hi Heather Am I right in thinking that we've maybe looked for this before and that someone was quite rude to Merry about it? Regards Looby

As you were guys!

Steve Either someone's telling you porkies, or when you've taken his age from the year of his death you can't add up. The Kenneth Bristow that died Dec Qtr 1981, Greenwich Vol 12 Page 1373 (the only kenneth Bristow that qtr) quite clearly shows his date of birth as being 3rd may 1928 - therefore sending everyone on a wild goose chase. As an update - looked up the birth for this Kenneth Bristow - don't think its yours - Birth is June Qtr 1928 West Derby Vol 8b, Pg 649 mothers name is Antrobus. who gave you the duff information? Regards Looby

Well... i can't really do that. Not just yet. If someone is kind enough to do Dec 1981 (whatever quarter that emcompasses) for a death, then thanks to anyone. Steve

Hi Steve, If they had children you could search for the birth cert ref of one which would give the mother's maiden name. It would only be on a pay to view site, though Gwynne

Someone told me his exact date of birth. He died in Dec 1981 so it was told. Maybe if we can check that, maybe that would clear some things..... Steve

Where did you get that exact birth date from?

............and there are no Bristow birth reg's from 1912 - 1920 with mothers maiden name beginning with ''Wom''. Merry

Hello Steve The only Kenneth Bristow I can see on the pages for AMJ and JAS 1920 was born in Swindon Kenneth E Bristow mmn GOWER Swindon JAS 1920 There are 2 Bristows that quarter born in Lambeth Clifford w Bristow mmn CONE Denis H H Bristow mmn POWLESLAND No Kenneth or Lambeth births in AMJ quarter Deborah

His mother had a surname sounding like Womb, I am hoping it is as his mothers maiden surname. Steve

Hi, Sorry forgot to add the names. The birth in 1920 is for a Ken(neth?) Bristow. And the surname is Womb or something... Steve
