Would be grateful for any help finding a missing birth registration of Louisa Bateman c1900, born either Lewisham or Greenwich, Kent (now London).

Louisa is on the 1901 census at Deptford, age 1 with her parents Charles & Caroline and her sisters Annie, Alice and Jessie.

I have found the birth registrations of her sisters. No one in the family has any knowledge of Louisa at all. I cannot find a death record on FreeBMD.

Also could someone please check the 1901 image for me that her year of birth is correct.

Many thanks for any help,

Selena

Thanks Reg for looking. I'm stumped!

Family stayed in the area from 1880-1940s.

Thanks Gwyn, Lee is in borough of Lewisham. The family were living in Lee on 1891 census. I have been to see their house.

I think they moved to Deptford in borough of Greenwich around 1898 as their daughter Jessie was registered in Greenwich, as were later children post 1901.

The older girls, Alice and Annie were registered in Lewisham.

But no sight of Louisa - she would be my mum's aunt but no one has heard of her so I assumed that she died very young.

Thanks so much for that,

How sad:

Deaths Dec 1901
Bateman Emily Louise 2 Greenwich 1d 613

Reg thanks for that. I am sure that is her. My nan was born 1903 so that's why we never heard of 'Emily' Louise.
