If Doris death cert is the right one it could mean whoever was the informant might not have known her age
she could have moved to Southampton after Fredericks death

Hi Genda,before you send for the two Isaac births I mentioned I think you should contact Linda Keeping on here.
She has quite a few Isaacs born Chalbury and als o the Steel family.
Steel was the name of the mum on Mary and fredericks birth registration.

As we live in yorkshire it is a little far to go in person at the moment. Do you know who I contact, for someone to look it up, or look in the electoral register. I am sure Nancy will be willing to pay to find her mother.

brummiejan Report 4 May 2010 10:37

Fingers crossed! I would still suggest you try following that address though, nothing to lose.
The only problem is you need to do this in person or they have to do it for you - there will probably be a fee. If you do pursue this bear in mind there was no register 1939-45 so you would need to search a little before, but as it looks as if your mother was born 1938 it should be OK.
Let us know how you get on!

Thanks to all for your help. The death of Fredrick I think is very possitive, we will follow that one up. The death of Doris, is a little more dubious, as thr age on the marriage certificate to Fredrick Isaac made her 19, and the birth certificate (if it is the correct one ) gives 1919. We think Doris is from a family mmn Giles, from a london area, but her marriage certificate ,which we know is the correct one, gives the address as Bridport Dorset, which we think is Fredricks address, although the address on my frinds birth cert is also given as the Bridport address. My friend was born to Doris 1 year before she married Fredrick, and adopted at 1 week old. The two births of the Isaac's are exciting and I think we will also send for their certificates. Thank you everyone, keep up mthe good work

There are a few more Rowe/Giles births around the same time as well as Alfred and Doris, for example:

Births Jun 1916 (>99%)
Rowe Percival G Giles W. Ham 4a 982
Births Dec 1916 (>99%)
Rowe Albert P Giles Mile End 1c 604
Births Dec 1919 (>99%)
Rowe Doris E Giles Lambeth 1d 476
Births Mar 1920 (>99%)
Rowe Edward T Giles Mile End 1c 776

Not familiar with London so no idea if these are near each other or not!

There are also a couple of Dorset ones:

Births Mar 1922 (>99%)
Rowe Sybil J Giles Bridport 5a 560

Births Dec 1925 (>99%)
Rowe Eric A S Giles Bridport 5a 496

I am thinking it might be the whole family moved there maybe?? It might be an idea to look at the address on her marriage cert, from this the electoral register could be searched on the off-chance other family members were living there.

Thanks Jan i would like help. I am trying to look for family of my friend Nancy who was born out of wedlock to Doris Evelyn Rowe mmn Giles DOB Oct 1919 married Fredrick George Isaac on 23-09-1939 at Bridport Dorset 5a 1544. My other threads have helped with locating Doris from the London area. I cannot seem to get any further with the family after marriage. As I have said Fredrick was in the Royal navy when he married Doris. I have not found any children to this marriage so far. One helper came up with a brother for Doris and I think this possibly another lead but I have not followed it yet. The witness on the m.c. is a Alfred e Rowe The brother is Alfred Rowe mmn Giles born 1921 3Q reg district Limehouse G London vol1c pg 428. I wonder if there is any marriage or children records for him? Sorry to be so long replying I have just returned from a walk

Do you want any more assistance Genda? Happy to look but don't want to overdo it!

By the way, is it Frederick George or vice-versa, as you have both?

Don''t forget witnesses to the marriage, maybe family members?
