There is no birth - on any site - to fit the info Sarah has given.

I posted the births of the older girls on page one..........so they were recorded properly

There doesn't appear to have been a daughter old enough to have been giving birth in 1902

No, nobody has.

I did wonder if she might have been adopted, but the two Lauras born Stone 1901-3 are both accounted for in the 1911 census.

FreeBMD doesn't have any Laura Pettifer born anywhere England or Wales in 1901-3.

Just been reading through this thread

Has anyone found (I can't see) Laura' birth reg?

Something I should have asked earlier.......

How do you know that the girl on the 1911 census is the one who married Whitehouse?

You don't appear to have any documents relating to the marriage...........

Wallingford has never been in Hampshire

It's on the Berks/Oxon border

Hi many thanks to everyone who has attempted to help me with Laura Whitehouse (nee Pettifer).she was born in Stone Staffordshire in 1902 but living in Birkenhead with family according to C11. The family moved to Birmingham although I'm not sure when. She married William H Whitehead in Birmingham in 1924 and they had 3 children all born in Wallingford Hampshire.This all the info. I have on Laura and don't know anything about William ie d.o.b. middle name, occupation or death and unfortunately no one else seems to be researching them on Genes Reunited. Sarah

The younger daughter may have married in Birmingham, which suggests her parents may have been living there (1949)

Think we need some feedback from Sarah :-)

Jacqueline Report 29 Jun 2015 12:16

She did not have a second forename, according to her marriage registration. However, the only birth for her name with no second name was in 1878 - coincidentally in Wallingford.


Sarah

For facts, you need to get a copy of the marriage cert

That's just one of many possibles, Yvonne, unfortunately.

Her children were born in Wallingford, and the family may have moved anywhere after that, so there's no way of knowing where she might have died.
And we don't know when she was born.
