Find Ancestors

Strange, but I can't find birth registrations for Caroline, Martha or Emma under surname Henderson for birthdates given!

Appreciate everyones help - Ive got a bit to go on here.
Think that maybe the Hendersons were a bit economcal with the truth on the birth certs or let the registra assume they were married. I like the look of the names on the deaths for 1881 St Saviour - hv a gut feeling on the Caroline Martha - will look into it.
How do you look for deaths without a name so that I can use this myself ?

Thanks again

And no I cant find them either in the records nor can I find the older step sisters on the early census or births - odd, confused I am.

Go into FreeBMD

Just put the quarter and year that you are looking for that will narrow it down

If you know the registration district click on that on the right hand side

Just put the first name in ie Caroline

and Click on find

Hope that helps....

I'm just wondering whether the children were Carolines and not Johns.....just a thought.

Have you got the marriage certificate for your Caroline?

I posted the birth for Caroline Elizabeth 1870 St Olave ties with the 1871 census

the birth cert will give mmn

Name: Caroline Elizabeth Henderson
Date of Registration: Apr-May-Jun 1870
Registration district: St Olave
Inferred County: London, Surrey
Volume: 1d
Page: 220

Shirley, the Caroline we are looking for was born on 27.4.1872 birthdate given on Page 1 along with with those for Martha & Emma

Thank you for that - great
On my Grandmother Caroline Chantry(b. 1872) Nee Hendersons marriage cert it does state that John was her Father but all of this is beginning to make me wonder as none of it makes sense.
Fear that after this one last attempt at the Hendersons I may have to gv up on them - the other lines have been more predictable and traceable !!!
You have made me look at this from another angle - i already suspected there was a little un truth here but think it may possibly be more than that.
closing for the night now - my cold has got the better of me.

Take it then the 1871census isnt the right John and Caroline ??

Edit I missed the birth date posting .! :-(

Morning All
Reading all the posts this morning I can confirm the following - the John Henderson on the 1891 Census with a new wife(or partner)Mary and the three girls Caroline, Martha and Emma are mine.

I suspect that all the Baptisms done in 1882 are all the correct Hendersons that Im researching - I think John Henderson was not much of a scholar, poor and didnt get around to registering anything - there was obv a need for him to get aound to it in 1882 - maybe he was persuaded or maybe it all caught up with him.

Cant be sure whether John actually married his new partner Mary - he didnt appear to be in the habit of marrying them. Looks like he had a first wife/partner that he had Elizabeth and Annie. with, second partner Caroline who he had Caroline, Martha and Emma and then Mary who he had no children with.

The family on the 1881 census(Gun Street) are without any doubt mine due to many other family records that confim my Caroline 1872 and her sisters are def Martha and Emma.

The only puzzle here is why there dont seem to be any births, deaths or marriages regstered in the right(believed names).

I think Im left here with one option and thats to obtain the likely death certs for Caroline and if they show John Hendersonand/or the correct address then I have my answer.

Its good to talk - Thanks
