Find Ancestors

I am trying to sort out a family mystery, Alice Inskip married Philip
SJ Bradford 1934 at Romford Registry Office.

I can find no recorded birth for any Alice Inskip born in the Romford area in 1910.

the marriage certificate shows her father as George Inskip living at Herbert
Rd Essex.

George and his family have lived at this address from the 1911 census, no child aged about one is shown on this census the youngest child is Winifred Eva Inskip born about 1909, but her deaath is registered in 1915 in Romford.

Like wise have been unable to find any death under the name of either Bradford, Inskip or even under the name of Stevens, the maiden name of George's wife Elizabeth.

There is one Alice Inskip born in 1907 in the Romford area but she married a Nott and died in Canada.

Any Idea's or surgestions as to where I go in looking for this lady!!!!

Thanks

Eileen

How do you know Alice was born in 1910?

And a marriage certificate wouldn't show where her father was living???

Jude

I note Alice and Philip's child was named after her deceased sister.

thinking outside the box a bit, have you looked at the wider family for an Alice born about the right time, eg a cousin to George and Elizabeth's children , who may have been adopted by them at a later date and taken their surname?

what was George's occupation on the marriage cert?

Are the witnesses related ?

What about this....

Births Mar 1911 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Inskip Alice H Poplar 1c 573

According to a tree which I think is Eileens, Philip remarried 1943 in Northumberland to Sarah Alice Cowens 1916-1997.They had 2 daughters
Also states Alice Inskip 1910 -1950.

Maryb.

According to George's service records he had a daughter Alice Hawkins born in Poplar 17 Feb 1911.

British Army WWI Service Records, 1914-1920
Name: George Inskip
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1871
Age at enlistment: 44
Residence: 11 Herbert Road, Sevin Kings
Document Year: 1915
Regimental Number: 118620
Regiment Name: Royal Engineers
Number of images: 8

He married Elizabeth Sarah Stevens on 4 July 1891 (or 1896)

They had (in addition to Alice above)
Louisa Bertha b 12 Jan 1905 in Ilford
Ernest Clifford b 23 Apr 1907 in Romford
Frederick Arthur b 9 Mar 1901 ?? in Ilford

These were apparently verified by the army.

Did the daughter born 1936 marry as Inskip rather that Bradford ?

This verifies the info on the service record:

Surname First name(s) District Vol Page
Marriages Sep 1891
Inskip George Romford 4a 471
Stevens Elizabeth Sarah Romford 4a 471

I'm guessing that he just listed their youngest children on his service record, perhaps those still at home?

The birth record that Erin... posted above for Alice is definitely the correct one, except we now know her actual date of birth.

My guess is that Winnie age 2 on the 1911 census is actually 2 MONTHS old and is probably Alice. EDIT: No - see my meanderings below.

George does NOT list a Winnie on his service record.

So birth certificate of Alice as posted by Eringobragh should give her mother. Which willl then hopefully find her in 1911 census.

Jude

I'm having second thoughts now!

I think Rose may be on to something about a relative's child. George attested 06 Sep 1915 - some months after Winnie died, which is perhaps why he didn't list her.

Alice was registered as Inskip in 1911 so already had that surname, although her birthplace of Poplar is a little outside their normal area. Might she be their granddaughter and their eldest Lizzie is the mother?

Hi all.

Thanks for your reply's.

The reason for trying to discover who Alice was is that the daughter of Philip and Alice is my now discovered half sister and her health is very frail, I have very rashly promised to see if I can find out any info.

Philip did in due course marry Sarah, but there was no divorce from Alice.

What I have discovered is very little, there are no Inskips that I have found who are able to help.

The witnessess to the marriage of Alice and Philip where George C Nichols and Annie Nichols(nee Inskip), have made contact with there only serviving son, but he is unable to help, his parents died in the Blitz's in 1941, and while he lived with the extended Inskip's for a while he was sent away to school in Surrey and then into the services so no luck there.

Will look at the surgestions and the couple of names mentiond in these posts.


I know that a marriage certificate will not where her father lived but given that at time of marriage she shows Herbert Rd as at the 1911 census, hope that clears up that misunderstanding.

She states she is 23 years old at time of marriage so have used this as my starting point as a guide to year of birth but have trawled 5 years either side of this date.

Eileen
