[Margaret in Burton]

Just attaching the images to the email. I am sending the Djvu files from FMP and the screenshots in j.peg as well, just in case you can't open the first ones.

This is interesting too - thank you and thanks to Margaret for the 1911s.

I ummed and arred the first week as I thought I had it all. Someone found the army record and I found loads after that.

This week Kiterunner found a baptism in London when they were from Suffolk.
You never know what fresh eyes can bring.

Anymore, just shout.

I'm back!!

Two little things:

The Margaret Lynch who died in 1911 in Lambeth aged 43 was registered in Q1, so unless someone had a premonition or she was dead in her coffin on the dining table for the census she can't have been registered for death in Q1 and be on the census too, as it wasn't taken until 2nd April.

Secondly, the business about requests for copy certs to be directed to the GRO is probably just because the vicar hadn't signed the register (if you look his sig is missing for both the Lynch marriage and the one on the following page). I expect the new vicar (or whoever that was who wrote in the margin) felt he couldn't say for definite who performed the ceremony and hoped the correct name would be on the GRO copy, given that should have been filled in by the incumbent at the end of the Q the marriage took place.

pmsl! Oops, sorry Margaret (sorry, Marg - can't get used to that!)!!

It was Q1 when I looked before - funnily enough it was Fulham and not Lambeth when I looked before too, so now I'm wondering what it was that I looked at before???!!!
