Ok..
Been off to check for the 1919 marriage on Ancestry as they go to 1921?
I cant see it at all,maybe they dont have Lambeth on there as that comes under Surrey I think.
Blast.

Is it possible to find Grace R. Kemps death certificate. One of her children may have registered the death. Possibly still in London

reply
Hi
Would need to know her married surname for that Plus if she died pre 1983 then these deaths arent transcribed yet so you have to search by the year and quarter.
Still having problems locating who she might have married Have found births for the names you gave reg in Lambeth & Camberwell these are reg as Smith with mmn Kemp BUT there's no Grace Kemp marrying a Smith coming up .

This is exciting!! Her illegitimate child might not have been called Aubrey. If you could check please to see if any child born to Grace Kemp was illegitimate. Any name. Her three children apparently all married on the same day at the same church in London. This probably took place around 1939 - 1945. Her children were Ronald ( Ronnie), Vera married an American soldier and Muriel. hope that helps.

my reply
Unfortunately the records dont show the mums christian name only the surname .I have looked for Kemp with mums maiden name Kemp and there are many coming up , Do you have any idea of when she had the child AND was it still in Camberwell , Pre 1911 ther mmn doesnt show on the birth GRO record. Have you looked for her on the 1911 census

Trying to find birth certificate of Aubrey Kemp son of Grace,orRosalyn orRosalind Kemp. Not sure of first name but one of three. She married after Aubrey was born and had 3 more children probably in the 1920's - 1930's in London.
Her father was Sydney Kemp and Sarah Thurgood. Would also like to find her marriage certificate.
Many thanks,
Libby
