All I am looking for is his graveyard, but it is like aF5rederick never existed. Okay one of you while probably look for 5 minutes and find him, and then I will feel really silly and disappear for months.

from his death certificate

Name - Frederick William Imms
Died - January 26 1950 26 Athelstan Road, Bournemouth
Registrar - W.L. Ankers

night night

you made me chuckle

aF5rederick never existed :-)

like in the Tom Lehrer song about Henry who was so unique he spelt his name

Hen3ry

'I am reminded at this point of a fellow I used to know who's name was Henry, only to give you an idea of what an individualist he was he spelt it HEN3RY. The 3 was silent, you see.'

:-D

Is that really the Registrar's name???? :-0

so ... if you have his death certificate ... does it not give his age?

you're looking for ... his birth?

this is his death?

Deaths Mar 1950
Imms Frederick W 89 Bournemouth 6b 115

so this one?

Births Jun 1860
IMMS Frederick William Bromyard 6a 455

the person who has left postems all over Frederick W Imms entries at Freebmd seems to think so, I think (not the 1859 birth)

Marriages Mar 1896
HOLLAND Jessie Aston 6d 447
Imms Frederick William Aston 6d 447

does help if you say what you know and what you want to know, you know

as we always say on the actual help boards


this is what the postem on the 1860 birth says, for instance

30 March 1860 (registered in April)
Father - James Imms
Mother - Mary Imms formerly Green

with an email address


but if you want his burial place ... that is info that is not often available on line

If I want to find the burial place I contact the parks and cemeteries dept of the local council of the area of death giving them the details from the death cert

Most burials now are in municipal cemeteries and councils keep excellent records

I even got the burial record for my paternal grt grandma who died in 1907 and is buried in a public grave in what is the local cemetery where our family lived .

The council too will have cremation records as the crematoriums are council run

There's a post on RootsChat dated 2011 saying you should contact

Crematorium & Cemetery Section,
Strouden Avenue,

BH8 9HX
Tel: (01202) 526239

Genealogy search fees at the time were £18.50 for the first half hour plus £18.50 for each subsequent half hour (maximum charge £75).

"Is that really the Registrar's name????"

rofl, silent L do you think? :-D

Yes, RR. If it existed at all!! :-D :-D :-D

If you have a funerary card that will probably have the cemetery and plot number.

"If it existed at all!" - okay what does that mean?? I would think he would know how to spell his own name.

"dept of the local council of the area" - that would Bournmouth Right?

Thank you DET

I am the one all over Frederick in Freebmd :-D

I have been known to use the help board but I keep forgetting it is there. :-(

RMS it was a joke, that he put in the L so as not to have his first initial added to his surname to make a naughty word... you need to forgive this warped sense of humour some of us have...as it happens there are several possible births for Mr W L Ankers though not in the same area.

RR ......


Problem is, that is not a common word outside the UK, I think


it also had me foxed.

I was trying to make all kinds of words by adding the L to the surname

If you were called W. Ankers, wouldn't you add an initial?

If I was called Wayne (David) Kerr, I'd prefer to be known as Dave Kerr, rather than Wayne Kerr
:-D :-D :-D

Is it not Sylvia, ah that explains RMS's confusion, sorry RMS.

It's not a word I use often, well i try not to! But I do slip and use it to refer to certain politicians I'm afraid, I hadn't realised it was more of a British term though.

I've noticed that people on the other side have become fond of the word at least on the internet too :-)

there are so many ways of saying things that just sound better on one side of the ocean than the other

how much nicer to 'fancy' someone than to 'have the hots' for them!

and Mr W Ankers is just more tasteful than Mr A Soles :-D

I confess that one took me a minute though too ... but I looked him up at freebmd and I suspect he was William Lawrence, but might have been quite attached to his middle initial indeed

Okay, I have a dirty mind. His name was the first thing I saw :-( :-0 :-S :-D :-D

I had a ggg aunt - surname Hoare.
When mum and I were looking through a relevant census, I got the giggles, as she was listed as Winifred A Hoare. :-D

ahem ahem ... it is pronounced 'Oar'

:-D

yes, when I found that my gr-gr-gr grandmother was A Hoare ... I just had to share with my mother

however her father (the female ancestor's not my mother's!) did live up to the name ... two bastardy orders against him in the three years preceding his marriage ... to a different woman

:-D Joonie!

I'm afraid, in Hampshire, the 'H' is evident. :-D :-D

We may be related, both with Hoares in our family :-D :-D :-D

oh, your Hoares were probably those richy rich banking Hoares :-)

actually was she the daughter of George the son of Francis?

Francis Hoare is a good Cornwall name indeed

Francis father of George noted in 1841 that he was not born in county (Surrey), and then promptly died in 1843, so I dunno where he was from

his widow who remarried was born in Worcestershire

snooping in other people's bushes, it's what we do ...

and oops I see Francis was a lab in 1841 so if he's Winifred's grf there was no inheritance for her :-)

Don't you just hate it when people die between censuses and the widow disappears for 30+ years and then turns up on a death certificate, but that is another family and a whole other problem.
