I think your best bet is to get son Walter Alfreds birth cert. |

all i have at the mo is walter and lillian's marriage certificate which says that walter was 26 when they married on 25/12/1909. his father is john william kettle who is deceased. the story in my family is that one of the 'recent' kettle relatives was found on the steps of an orphanage, so maybe he was adopted or 'taken in ' by john kettle i dont know. ive ordered a copt of williams birth certificate which as you say will tell me the names of his parents |

yes i did see it thankyou! im very grateful for your help, i was just pointing out the 'family story'. as i said, ive ordered the birth certificate of walter , but it doesnt always have both parents on it. when walter married, it only had lillians parents on it as john was deceased and i assume so was his mum. if the case is that either john or eliza re married, then it might be that one or the other 'adopted' walter at some point. again, im really grateful for your help |

You're welcome, of course. Do update us when you get his birth cert, it's always fun to hear how things come out. I have to warn you that I'm (almost) always right. ;) |

i have john williams birth cert. he was born in city of london 1843 and his father was also john william kettle. ive managed to establish that the 'john white' kettle died in 1861, so im excluding him for now. ive found that walter kettle was in atkinson convalesent hosp[ital in 1891, so that ties in with john dying in 1890, and his wife eliza dying before him in 1887. the thing is that that now makes the family 'story' of walter being found at an orphanage kind of true. so, where do i go from here??????????????????????? |

Hmm. Give it a couple of weeks, and start a new thread, giving all the info now confirmed, nice and orderly, with a link back to this thread for anyone interested ... and I'll think about it then. ;) |
