Prett Charles R 60 Canterbury 2a 936

Have you looked on FreeBMD as that should be your first site to check

I have obtained the death certificate of Albania SJ Prett and she is the same person as Albina SJ Arnold (nee Jay), she was married to a Charles Robert Prett and they had a daughter Irene Prett, like was metioned. I would now like to find out if they had any more children, can anyone tell mehow I could find this out? thanks

Thanks to everyone for their help, I do believe that Albina SJ Arnold and Albania SJ Prett are the same person as the birth year and area are the same, too much of a coincidence? If anyone esle can help, I am looking for a marriage between Albina/Albania SJ Arnold and a gentle man with the surname Prett, in the Kent area.

Nudge up as new thread posted

I think that Irene born 1919 married Constantine Scott in 1941.

His death in Kent in 2004 gives date of birth as Dec 1916

There is a possible birth in March qtr 1917

One member on this site has him in their tree.

Might be a lead or might not.

It all helps, I'm grateful for anything, because we have come to a dead end

Am I clutching at straws now ??

Prett Irene M Jay Blean 2a 1311

That sounds quite promising

Keep looking at this death


Name: Albania S J Prett
Birth Date: abt 1878
Date of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar 1959
Age at Death: 81
Registration district: Ashford
Inferred County: Kent
Volume: 5b
Page: 29


But not yet found any possible marriage

That's right, we then can't find any other trace of her after that apart from having my father in law Alistair JBB Arnold in 1917, she then seems to vanish

Thanks Choccy

I should have looked for that spelling as the birth in 1917 has maiden name of Jay

she says she is widowed on the 1911 census - orignal reads ALBINA ARNOLD

Births Jun 1877

Jay Albania Sarah J Dover 2a 894

Thanks for your help, William J Arnold was her father in law and Mary A Arnold her mother in law, her children were James HR Arnold and Beatrice ER Arnold. She then went on to have a Alistair JBB Arnold in 1917 (my wifes father) who was brought up by a family with the surname Bremner, my wife always thought they were her grandparents but my father in law always said he was born to gypsies and bought by a rich family, we always thought it was a joke but after he died we found no trace of a birth certificate, and then discovered a Alistair John Bruce Bremner Arnold born in Kent. Very confusing!!

I keep looking at the birth of Albina Sarah Hopkins 1874

Think she is on census as Sarah and is in Kent in 1881

Not found anything that might be her birth but might not have been registered
