Mike

you would indeed expect that ........................ but it was the only birth / death which seemed to fit.

There was only one Selina birth registered under that name from 1890 to 1895 ........... and that was in either 189o or 1890.

I found her on the censuses .............. different parentage.

Looks promising Sylvia but you would think that having been given a name at baptism her death would be registered in that name

How does Wandsworth Registration area fit into the area where you know the Brookers lived??

There is this record on freebmd .................

Births Dec 1893 (>99%)

Brooker Female Wandsworth 1d 599


and


Deaths Dec 1893 (>99%)

Brooker Female 0 Wandsworth 1d 450

Just out of interest, the Parish Register with the entry for Selina Brooker has PB written in the margin next to her name


This indicates that it was a Private Baptism ............... usually done when the child was "sickly".

Although the baptism is 1893, not seeing a birth for Selina Brooker around that time

NO, looks as though you can count above marriage out as this is that couple in 1911:-
