why LadyKira, here is the birth that matches perfectly ?

Births Mar 1883
Smith Amelia Georgina C Woolwich 1d 1242

probably it was Catherine and it got spelt Katherine or Kate


edit, oh I see, because he says he is widower in 1911

LadyKira

LadyKira Report 22 Oct 2011 20:44

I have seen the birth and posted the baptism but cannot see the 1911 in the married name although I have a possible 1911 where he calls himself a widower.

I agree K or C are interchangeable on Catheine.

Mind you i found a 5year old divorced the other day. ;-)

I am still at work so cannot give full attention to it.
