hope it goes well its always worse thinking about something than it actually happening. I heard something years ago and it really helps me when I am worried about going to a party or something, not very good at them ,I say to myself this will pass and of course it will wont it ???

Don't ask!! Actually, the pain has really improved since I made the appointment! I think that's from making the decision..... I have a bad sore throat though, which I think might be the tooth infection spreading about a bit?? :o(( Just want to go and get it over with, but tomorrow is only an assessment :o(( Merry

Yep valarie, have often wondered how she does it, I am useless at this sort of stuff lol Nicola

thanks Nichola for trying ,but look what Merry found in The Times isnt she wonderful ?????

Merry that is something else I have learned I am not too hot on all this legal stuff as you may have gathered thanks a lot glad you are on here how is the Tooth by the way ???

sorry valerie have looked but can't find anything Nicola

I know that when civil reg was first introduced some people were very much against it for various reasons. One was the infringement of civil liberties (government poking their nose into private business) and also the idea that a child is named before God at baptism and this should be sufficient. The well-to-do would be quite happy to ignore the registrar if they were against registration in principal. There are some very vociferous letters printed in The Times newspaper to this effect! Merry

Merry once again you amaze me , where did you find that he is the one son we have really been searching for, I am totally amazed by you one day I will be as good you'll see. Thanks so much

thanks for that Vicky didnt look on there I would have thought I would find them on 1837 I looked 4 years either side it has cost me a fortune

Here are some date clues: The Times 6th Oct 1853: On the 4th inst at Dulwich Surrey, Mrs Frederick Evitt, of a son. The Times 6th Feb 1855 On the 28th ult at Denmark Hill, Mrs Frederick Evitt, of a son. Merry

I just did a quick search on FreeBMD - sometimes I find the results are easier to follow than the Ancestry listings. They are supposed to use the same database. Its a bit slow tonight - I was trying a search for soundalikes but its timed out. Looks like Camberwell has been transcribed though. have you tried looking for baptisms - if none of these births are registered that might be your next best bet.

where did you find them Vicky ???

sorry yes thats them I forgot about the children born later ,

there are some registrations for EVITT children in Camberwell in the 1840s. All have rather posh-sounding first names. Do you know if these are relatives?
