Hi all,

i can't find a birth. Beatrice Louise Gannaway married Edward Batchelor in greenwich in 1919, which i have found on freebmd. i have been told they had a son who died at about aged 2 possibly from meningitis. the child was named for beatrice's brother Henry Charles ( aka Harry). i can't find a birth at all with mmn Gannaway between 1917 and 1935, nor can i find a death for the child. any help would be really appreciated.thanks

Have you looked at the complete indexes on Ancestry or Findmypast.

Coverage on Freebmd is a bit hit and miss for the period you are talking about

oh thank you both so much. sorry i didn't reply up until now, my computer has a mind of its own and often lets me down. Glitter baby, i hadn't looked on those as i don't have membership and subscription. can you still look at them without subs?

Malcolm thank you for finding them for me, will order the certs to complete my info.

thanks to both of you for replying, i really appreciate it.
