Find Ancestors

Im trying to find the reference number to get the birth certificate for Sydney Robinson Peen born 25 Feb 1923.Not sure where he was born. There are, Ive seen, Peen's in London and Kent. I cant find his birth! In his marriage to Mary Swift 28 July 1945, his father is William George Peen. There are some different spellings of Peen and im just wondering if im missing something. There is a William George Peen born 1889 in London and he married to Edith in 1915. That could be his parents. I think he did have one sister who emigrated to Australia. Any help much appreciated.

See what you mean. Maybe born outside England/Wales?? My best shot:

Name: Sidney W Peen
Mother's Maiden Surname: Edwards
Date of Registration: Oct Nov Dec 1919
Registration district: Greenwich
Registration county: Greater London
Volume Number: 1d
Page Number: 2043

?

Births Jun 1888 (>99%)
PEEN William George Woolwich 1d 1214

Still "?"

Marriages Dec 1911 (>99%)
Dewey Walter W Woolwich 1d 2311
Hills Edith A M Woolwich 1d 2311
KEATS Florence M Woolwich 1d 2311
Peen William G Woolwich 1d 2311

That looks most like the potential parents. May be he was born outside England and Wales but I wasn't aware of that. Is William G Peen in the 1911 CENSUS with an occupation?

Hve you checked out the address he gave on the marriage cert? And are the witnesses any help?

What is occupation for William on the mariage cert?

I cant read it unfortunately. He would have been in the war.

They were married in Gloucester. He worked on aircraft in the war. Witnesses no good virtually illegible.

Did you think I meant sydney's occupation - I meant William's!

No I cant read William's. Its a something manager.

Sorry to say i am stumped. Will put a out plea for help!

no luck either, I would never have believed how many boys were called Sydney!!

just a thought, wonder if his parents married after his birth:

Also as a thought there is this William Pen from Gloucester in 1911

I think you may have stumbled on something RutlandBelle. That would tie in on his date of birth. Robinson is an unusual middle name. Isn't it

Is there a Robinson marrying a Peen after 1923?
