Find Ancestors

I think you need to buy at least one of the birth certificates for the possible half-siblings of Kitchener Raisborough (one of the London births) just to find out if the mother's name is the same as Kitchener's mother's name.

As said before, at that time during and after the war people did move around more than you would imagine. They may not have been in London for long. I'd be very surprised if these births were NOT half siblings of Kitchener.

hi all i do appreciate all the help given and am sorry if i led anyone to believe anything other i am looking into all the info so kindly provided by yourselves and hoping to link it all up soon, definetly wouldnt dismiss any links or possibilities out of hand as everything is very much a possibility when one knows so little of there family history have gathered family trees can be flawed being so knew to this is a bit of a minefield im sorry if any offence was caused as none was ever meant regards

Hi Reggie,

I'm done too!!!

So, no thanks to anyone for the help provided...........

And if you refuse to believe the printed evidence, you are never going to make any headway

There is not much point in asking for help, if you are going to dismiss out of hand the info provided

And NEVER rely on anyone else's tree(s)..............their 'research' could be flawed

Yes, we're 'done' on here.........or at least I am!

hi kathleen bell yes u have correct family there, as grandad was disowned by family only basing info on others family trees from there, he never talked about his family in any way nor did my nan his children knew very little either however when my nan n grandad married they moved into his parents house for a while and that was definetly in northampton , as is on my nan n grandads birth certificate. as far as i know they never lived in london from research married a george stacey 1917, kids??? was only told by aunt she was told by her dad he had 6 siblings however guess this is always the problem when so little is known <3

Thanks for the advice Reggie....are we done on this thread??

For BMD's in England/Wales up to 1955-60.........................freebmd is generally thought to be the best.

Reggie,

point taken, perhaps I should be using another site for research purposes...

Just come back to this thread and it all seems confusing.

Can I ask the original poster if this is her family in the 1911 census? :-

RAISBOROUGH, James Son Single M 2 1909 Fakenham Norfolk

From the way i see it, Beatrice on this census record went on to have Kitchener Herbert Raisborough in 1916 before she was married. This is the birth record (do you have the certificate?):-


Name: RAISBOROUGH, Kitchener H
Registration district: Walsingham
County: Norfolk
Year of registration: 1916
Quarter of registration: Apr-May-Jun
Mother's maiden name: Raisborough
Volume no: 4B
Page no: 463

After that Beatrice married George W. Stacey in 1917. This is the marriage:-

Name: RAISBOROUGH, Beatrice M
Registration district: Walsingham
County: Norfolk
Year of registration: 1917
Quarter of registration: Apr-May-Jun
Spouse's last name: Stacey
Volume no: 4B
Page no: 503

Name: STACEY, George W
Registration district: Walsingham
County: Norfolk
Year of registration: 1917
Quarter of registration: Apr-May-Jun
Spouse's last name: Raisborough
Volume no: 4B
Page no: 503

After that she had 4 more sons with George W. Stacey. These are the birth references - it doesn't matter that they were not born in Norfolk as people moved around a lot during and after the war:-

Births Sep 1918
Stacey Reginald G Raisborough Edmonton 3a 669

Births Sep 1920
Stacey Henry J Raisborough Holborn 1b 1200

Births Mar 1925
Stacey Frank E Raisborough Edmonton 3a 971

Births Sep 1929
Stacey William C Raisborough Islington 1b 32

Can you please read through this and tell us if the information is correct and why you don't think these births are correct as to most of us they seem obviously right.

Please explain what you mean by "they don't exist in Norfolk or Northamptonshire". If you mean that you can't find births in those counties then that is because they were born in the London area.

Are you basing your research on something you have got from other people's trees or something that has been passed down through the family? This would not necessarily be right. You need to buy certificates to make sure you are adding the correct people to your family tree.

Indeed, you did say 'possible'...not disputing that

I never use GR for research...................

I rather think this is the one who married in 1942

You refer to 'Horace Raisborough 1916'

There is no such birth record, so what is your 'source'?

192 shows Reginald G Stacey at same address as the woman on the 1959 marriage record up to 2009

Rambling Rose

have now found the birth of Frank E Stacey 1925 Edmonton..it is on this site but the mothers maiden name is mis spelt as Raisborugh without the second 'o' so it did not come up as I had put the correct spelling in....

It looks like the 4 sons mentioned earlier in this thread were correct...

I do not understand why there is stil a query on the children, all the births have been found.....

In your GR tree, you have the wrong birthplace info for Reginald.

So, if you are looking for the one born in Southwark, no wonder you are having problems.

PLEASE..................go to freebmd and get CORRECT info

Reggie,

the marriage on this site

Reginald C G Stacey 1942 Willesden

I did say a possible marriage...

WHY have you 'marked as answered'?

Your query is clearly NOT fully resolved.................

If you hope for further help, please remove the tag..............

How can you possibly say that people whose births were registered 'don't exist'?

On what research do you base that rather strange statement?

Could you try please to explain yourself more clearly.....................

Have you actually looked at the info posted on this thread?

Have you failed to give important info?

i.e. Kitchener Raisborough was illegitimate...................Beatrice's son?

He married in Northampton...........so is that why you say that 'they' moved there?

His mother apparently died in Edmonton district in 1935...............so any 'move' was after that.

Are you assuming that because Kitchener moved to Northampton all his half-siblings moved there also?

He was a grown man, there was a War in progress, he could have been there because of that.

hi all its all rather ambigious but the only actual child i know of is kitchner herbert raisborough born in 1916 walsingham reg fakenham norfolk born, from there only have incorrect info as 3 children listed horace raisborough, 1916, frank stacey 1925 and william stacey 1929 donot exist in norfolk or in northamptonshire where i know they later moved to?? could poss have lived elsewhere in between they married in 1917 in norfolk that much i do know im hoping to find living descendants from my grandfathers side, as grandmothers have not been in touch for years regards mandi <3
