I have photocopies of "family records" for sealing which show my ancestor and his parents and siblings. The same person who submitted the information (unfortunately in 1955!) also had other people in the general area in Essex with the same surname sealed. The person who submitted the information lived in Idaho, USA. My family is Canadian so I know we are not (recently) related to her. |

Your guess is as good as anyones Lisa - have to say some of the submitted/sealed records are totally rubbish on there and it may be an over enthusiastic mormon member wanted to seal (baptise posthumously) anyone they thought may be their ancestors. |

Hi Heather: You are absolutely correct! I've found little bits of information over the years, as I try every sort of combination of words: surname, occupation, dates, initials of first names, other surnames, etc. Thank you for the advice, though as it might help someone else reading this. :) |

Kathryn and Heather, you've both made me think of something. |

Oh yes, have a go. This guy, when did he marry in Pimlico then? |

Just out of interest ?? I was delivered by a Dr Mumford in the east end. |

Hi Heather: There (now) aren't too many Mumfords around. I'm surprised to hear he was your doctor. |
