Hit a brick wall please help my gr gr nan name was rebecca allerton she had a daughter in 1900 maude kilbey i am stuck trying to find rebecca's family she lived in battersea london they are not on 1901 cencus can't even find a birth for rebecca so not sure if name changed at some stage thanks jenny

I don't see a birth for a Maud Kilbey on FreeBMD. Are you sure about the spelling? Rose

This is the closest I can find: Births Mar 1895 Kilbey Ethel Maud Wandsworth 1d 783 Rose

maude kilbey's birth wasn't registerd until she died in 1977 jenny

Hi Jenny, Did you get the marriage certificate for Maud to Benjamin Oswin that I posted on your last thread. I really think you need the marriage certificate to hopefully give you some more clues about Maud's family. Here's the ref again incase you need it. Benjamin G. Oswin, Dec quarter 1923, District Wandsworth, Vol 1d, Page 1301. Wife Maude Kilbey. Fiona.

hi fiona i have got a copy of marriage cert not very useful dad deseased no mention of rebecca we know dad lived with his wife and children on 1901 cencus but his wife wasn't rebecca an affair we think jenny

I haven't seen your other thread so can you list the dad's name and occupation? Also the witnesses? Rose

If you have an address you could pay to see the 1911 census. Rose

hi rose john kilbey deseased timber merchant 34 belleville road battersea witnesses e kilby h j brown jenny

rose can't afford it i'm a single parent but we know they were lodgers and maude was born there jenny

Spooky. I have a friend who lives a few doors down. Also, that was the street where Krystal Hart was shot on Friday. Rose

rose are you from around there as my family were all from battersea maude's daughter (nan) lived in bennerley road jenny

Jenny, I lived in Battersea for a year but I have several friends who have settled in the Northcote Road area. Check no. 34 in 1901 and they're not there. Rose

rose thanks think i might have look for her on electrol registar rebecca was a wet nurse do you know weather she would have lived at work ? and if she did would she been aloud to take her child with her ? jenny

I imagine she would need to live with a family if she were a wet nurse. Do you know when this was? Rose

rose my nan recons it was for a lord & lady lindlsey in chelsea he also had a scottish residents we think near or in edinborough jenny

Do you know when Rebecca died? Did she ever marry? Who was the E Kilbey who was the witness? Rose

rose don't know when she died was also known as rebecca kilbey but can't find a marriage as in 1923 mar/cert john kilbey deseased john had brother edward that might be him also thought maybe rebecca wasn't her name as in them days seem to change name whenever they feel like it jenny
