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

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

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.

"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. :-(

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

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

Maggie

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

rofl, silent L do you think? :-D

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

Crematorium & Cemetery Section,
Strouden Avenue,
Bournemouth,
BH8 9HX
Tel: (01202) 526239
Fax: (01202) 524664
E-mail: [email protected]

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).

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

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

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

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

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
