Find Ancestors

Robert Nelson Kellett was born in 1889 Millom Cumberland and is the only one of my grandmothers siblings i have not tracked down.

He is on the censuses living with his family father Arthur Kellett dob 1857 Coniston living in Millom Cumberland.


I would appreciate any assistance thank you.

A free bmd search for a Robert N kellett 1890 + - 10 years shows only two births for a Robert N Kellett..

Robert Nelson and a Robert Nightingale Kellett.

An ancestry tree covers the /Nightingale one including his two marriages and death.

The London electoral roll show a Robert N Kellettt living with a Selena Kellett.
living in Woolwich Newham.

The last sighting i have of Robert were his WW! service papers but nothing after that.

I have tried to find a marriage for him but so far have come up with nothing.

I am hoping someone can find who this Selina is and the relationship.

Thank for any replies
Maurice.

Have you looked at the 1930s ERs for him? On those he is living with a Lena - could be the same person as the Selina on the later ERs.

I presume you have checked on CWGC for a possible death during WW1

No Potty i had not looked for him that early. Will see if i can find a marriage to a Lena now.

Thank you.

Maurice.

Yes Glitter but found nothing.

Thank you
Maurice.

NAME: Selina Kellett
BIRTH: 1895
DEATH: Jun 1979 - Greenwich, Greater London, England

Yes that is the i was looking at.

I did think of sending for the death cert but if it shows his wife as the informant i would still be stuck with who is Selina or Lena.

Thank you Maurice.

Thank you Rose,


Maurice.

Could this be Robert in 1932? From 1934 onwards he is on the ERs with Selina. This man is with a Margaret, a Mary and an Archibald Edward


Name:Robert Kellett
Year:1932
County or Borough:Greenwich
Ward or Division/Constituency:Greenwich
Street address:41 Randall Place

Edit: forget this one - he seems to be George Kellett, b 1859 Scotland, who is on the 1911 with son Archibald, at the same address, 41 Randall Place.

Thanks Potty i will have a look at that one.

Allthough i cannot connect him to any of those names.

Maurice.

The archibald is I think this one, on the 1934 he is named with this person Vera and Margaret

So I am guessing that Robert and Archibald are related? and tht Robert was livcing with them before he moved in with Selena?

Thank you Rose.

I cant see any connection to those names at the moment but will follow it up.

Andy

Thank you Andrew but i cannot connect any of those Kelletts to mine.

Maurice.

Hello Potty Andrew,

the 1911 census posted by Andrew is the same address as the 1932 ER Roll you posted Potty
41 Randal Place and there is no connection there i am afraid.

Thank you
Maurice.
