Dora Martym [n] married a George E Jewhurst Dec Q 1939 Tonbridge 2a 4391

death gives the birth as 20th Apr 1907

Dora Jewhurst July 1999 Tunbridge Wells Reg A15 District 5761A Entry 285

a copy of the marriage may help - age may be a bit out - witnessess

The only " Martyn " 1901 in Bexhill was a William Martyn 1876 single - Grocers Ass born Wales
None in 1911

That Dora Martyn 1876 Kilburn ,was married to Walter P Martyn @ 1897
2 children 1901
Doris 2y and Ethel 9mths

1911
Walter and Doris are in Haywards Heath

Ethel is with Grandparent Eliza Martyn 66y in Hammersmith

not the right family

closer look at the Dora Martyn 3y 1911 is more than likely Bex Hill Sussex

Now that’s interesting – the image shows that Dora Martyn had been married 5 years, and had 2 children born alive, still living. The information about the marriage and children has been crossed out by the collator.

How is your friend connected?

Does she know when Dora died? And where?

The census and birth fit the date she's given you..............

This is the ONLY death which comes anywhere near to the supposed birth info

England & Wales, Death Index: 1916-2006

Name: Dora Edith I Martyn
Birth Date: 25 Apr 1908
Date of Registration: Apr 1995
Age at Death: 87
Registration district: Plymouth
Inferred County: Devon
Register Number: C49A
District and Subdistrict: 4161C
Entry number: 99


The birthplace will be recorded on the death cert.........but, only 'as known' to the informant, as, indeed, is the birth date

There is no matching birth in England/Wales, as far as I can see

Shirley~I,m getting the hang of it

Shirley~I,m getting the hang of it Report 7 Dec 2012 11:55

So what was her actual birth date .you say your friend knows this??
