If you try to re-do that free membership with ancestry you can even find her marriage certificate.


Remember ............ you do have to give credit card information before you can start the "free" membership, and that is why we say let them know 2 or 3 days before the 14 days are up that you do not wish to continue, otherwise they WILL charge your credit card.

Hmmm I found the census and she married george james newman and they had two kids by 1911, one died :-( I cannot find her death anywhere. I found one caroline E newman who dies in St Olave in 1933 but she is 78 so its way off. I checked the whole list on freeBDM and none of the ages match up. Anyone have a clue please?

backtomyroots, can I just mention that your other thread re Saunders has been deleted? i take it that you did so, but would respectfully suggest if a thread has info on that you leave it on the board.... someone may have something to add, or in the future someone connected to the family might see it and want to get in touch...also, you may want to return to it yoursefl if heaven forbid you lose the info ( if your computer crashes for instance ). .

On the image it gives birthdate as 21st March 1882...which ties in which the date on the 1939 register.

Oh that's odd! I don't know how happened. Maybe accidentally. I'm still trying to get used to this technologies etc. where did you find the death record at Waltham that shows the birth year? I was sure I checked a Waltham one on freebdm but it didn't match up but then perhaps I'm confused by it again :-)
