I HAVE THE BIRTH CERT OF WALTER BROWN. HIS MOTHER WAS JANNETTE BLOOMFIELD WHO DIED THE SAME TIME WALTER WAS BORN. HER BIRTH RECORD STATES SHE WAS JANNETTE BROWN. WALTERS FATHER WAS ARTHUR BROWN. I HAVE SPENT WEEKS TRYING TO FIND THE MARRIAGE OF ARTHUR BROWN AND JANNETTE BLOOMFIELD BUT HAVE COME TO A BRICK WALL. JANNETTE BROWN DIED IN 1909 HAMPSTEAD AND I HAVE NO INFO ON ARTHUR BROWN EXEPT THAT HE WAS AN ARTILERYMAN PRIVATE

THANKS BUT THATS NOT IT, I LOOKED AT BIRTHS OF JANNETTE BLOOMFIELD AND THEIR IS A RECORD OF MY ONE WHO WAS BORN IN HAMPDTEAD AND THAT ONE FROM LEICESTER

COULD THEY HAVE GOT MARRIED SOMEWHERE OTHER THAN ENGLAND, IF SO HOW CAN I SEARCH

AS ARTHUR BROWN WAS AN ARTILLERYMANN IN 1909 AND LIVED IN HAMPSTEAD, CAN ANYBODY HELP BY SEARCHING MILITERY RECORDS

NUDGE

Judith The family you found are transcribed by Ancestry in 1901 as Blormfiled! Jeanette wasn't at home though. Could this be her, living in as a domestic servant for a family called Lawrence in Heath Street also in Hampstead: Janet M Blomfield S 15 born Hampstead

Agnes Blormfiled Age: 15 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1886 Relation: Daughter Father's Name: George Mother's Name: Louisa Gender: Female Where born: Hampstead, London, England Civil Parish: Hampstead Ecclesiastical parish: St John County/Island: London Country: England Street address: Occupation: Condition as to marriage: Education: Employment status: View Image Registration district: Hampstead Sub-registration district: Hampstead ED, institution, or vessel: 4 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 80 Household Members: Name Age Agnes Blormfiled 15 George Blormfiled 40 Louisa Blormfiled 38 Monica Blormfiled 13 Thressa Blormfiled 9 Walter Blormfiled 19 Kathleen Brace 1 I found a birth record for that Jeanetta Goodwin Bloomfield in Leicestershire, so that marriage is not her. :-)) Angela

THE FAMILY IN 1901 IS SPELT BLORMFILED. I WANT TO BE ABLE TO TRACE THE FAMILY OF ARTHUR BROWN. BUT THE ONLY WAY OF FINDING THE RIGHT ARTHUR IS TO FIND OUT HIS AGE WHICH WOULD BE ON MARRIAGE CERT I THINK

BECAUSE JEANNETTE WAS BURRIED AS BROWN, IS IT CERTAIN SHE WAS MARRIED ?

What happened to Walter...did he stay with Arthur? Did Arthur witness Walter's marriage. Just thinking that we might be able to track him forward until a death. Maybe Arthur remarried to make a home for Walter and we could find THAT marriage to help pinpont his age. Gwyn

WALTERS BIRTH WAS WITNESED BY LOUISA BLOOMFIELD AND WALTER WAS KNOWN AS WALTER BLOOMFIELD. I HAVE A LETTER WITH THE BIRTH CERT FOR WALTER THAT STATES: WALTER BLOOMFIELD AND WALTER BROWN ARE THE SAME PERSON. WALTER HAD A SON CALLED GORDON BLOOMFIELD. I THINK BECAUSE WALTERS MOTHER DIED AT BIRTH HE WAS BROUGHT UP BY HIS GRANDMOTHER. GORDON IS LIVING AND WANTS TO FIND OUT ABOUT HIS FATHERS SIDE OF THE FAMILY (BROWN) BUT I AM STUCK. JEANNETTE AND ARTHUR MUST HAVE BEEN MARRIED FOR HER TO BE BURRIED AS A BROWN

SO I NEED TO FIND WHO WALTER MARRIED

Robert Have you checked the images on Ancestry for the marriage? Angela

NOT SURE WHAT YOU MEAN ANGELA, DO YPU MEAN THE MARRIAGE OF ARTHUR AND JEANNETTE ?

Yes, the marriage of Arthur & Jeannette. Angela

>JEANNETTE AND ARTHUR MUST HAVE BEEN MARRIED >FOR HER TO BE BURRIED AS A BROWN Well no actually, her death and burial would have been in the name she was known by and if they were living as man and wife she would have been known as Brown even if there had been no marriage.

ANGELA HOW CAN I SEARCH THE IMAGES IF I CANT FIND THE MARRIAGE

Robert If you have Ancestry access, you can search images quarter by quarter, using just one of the names. Some marriages may not have been indexed yet. Anyway, Judith has said that she has checked them for you & still can't find it. I had a look too, but they were so slow to load I had to give up. I don't know what else to suggest. Angela

If Arthur was in the army he may have been posted in Leicester & that's where he & Jeanette got married. Just because she was born in Hampstead doesn't mean she got married there. Ozi.

THANKS EVERYBODY FOR YOUR HELP
