I am searching for the death record of Ronald Burrow or Burrows born 1930 and died aged around 3 years of age. I get told there are, for example 4 matches but I cant only see 1 person of that name and it isnt the one I'm looking for. Can anyone please tell me where I'm going wrong. Many thanks.

Not sure guess I'll have to go to the records office. As far as i know the family came from Poplar or Bow and settled in Walthamstow . The birth I have for him shows Ronald R. Thanks for your help. I am fairly new to this and find it very exciting and not a little frustrating. How did you find this record so quickly. Mo x

Maureen,

Who were his parents? There are 2 Burrow/Hodgson marriages in Poplar around that time and he could belong to either couple.


Marriages Dec 1923
Burrow Frederick C Hodgson Poplar 1c 773
Hodgson Lilian S Burrow Poplar 1c 773


Marriages Dec 1927
Burrow Robert V Hodgson Poplar 1c 779
Hodgson Grace E Burrow Poplar 1c 779

How do you know he died? There is a Ronald R Burrow in Essex on the electoral roll.

These are possibly the 4 you say match but you can only see 1, but none of those are in Walthamstow which comes under the West Ham district in the 1930's
