Thank you so much for the photo of the journal! How beautiful it is!


I have attempted to send you David's obituary but not sure if I've been successful or not!

Yorkshire Marriage indexes for the years: 1886
Surname Forename(s) Surname Forename(s) Church / Register Office Registers At Reference
MAXWELL David Chalmers HOLMES Kate Ellen Hull Register Offices or Registrar Attended Hull HRO/28/183

Yorkshire Birth indexes for the years:

1894 MAXWELL Lilian Driffield East Riding DRI/32/51
1896 MAXWELL David Kenneth Beverley East Riding BEV/53/29

=================

Note the discrepancy in dates for Erick.
This is because the GRO indexes by quarter of registration and YorksBMD indexes by year of birth, so Erick was probably born in late Dec, but not rego'ed until after the new year.
(In England, one has 6 wks to rego a birth, not 3.)

Thank you for update..... I have now found Lilian birth but want to find a marriage if I can.... The little journal was hers after all. I feel like a custodian of this now. Picked up on Ebay.....

I wonder you see if she married and had children (surely they would like this journal??)
