Find Ancestors

If anyone is going to the family records office in London, I am trying to trace the Children of Mary Ann Minnie Crouch nee Rose, all the details I have are below.

She is /was my Aunt who I never knew, I believe she may have had a son Robert or Robin, he was know as Robbie.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Births Dec 1908
Rose Mary Ann M Sturminster 5a 201

Marriages Dec 1937
Crouch Arthur J Rose Dartford 2a 1919
Rose Mary A M Crouch Dartford 2a 1919

The Family Records Office in London is now closed and all BMD ledgers were transferred to Kew to be digitised.

Theres no Robert /Robin birth listed. Did they stay in Dartford area??

looks like she only passed in rcent years . the informant may be a family member
Name: Mary Ann M Crouch
Birth Date: 10 Oct 1908
Death Registration Month/Year: Oct 2003
Age at death (estimated): 95
Registration district: Kent
Inferred County: Kent

Shirley,

As far as I know, they lived in Welling in Kent.

Thanks

Colin.

No births for Crouch/Rose in Kent after 1924

that death cert looks like her so the informant may be of help theres no births listed so maybe the son was fostered or adopted

She was 29 when she married - maybe the child was born before that?

Hi all,

Looking Like a deadend, anything death wise for her husband.

Colin.

Cant see its a dead end .Her death cert will say if she wife or widow of . I dont think you will find anything more without buying at least that cert

Thanks Shirley,

I will contact the Certificate Office in Tunbridge Wells, with the details you have given should be relatively easy.

However, they seem to take a very long time to issue them, I am still waiting for my father's certificate, I ordered that 3 weeks ago.

Let you know what I find out.

Colin.

The details i gave is the GRO ref and wont be applicable to a local Record Office system.
You can order the cert from www.gro.gov.uk using the ref quoted Cert costs £7 and will certainly come sooner than 3 weeks.Payment is by debit or credit card and its a secure site PLUS you can ask for a checking point for her being the wife or widow of Arthur J Crouch. If this doesnt tie up then they will refund £4.

Shirley,

Thanks for the info, have applied for the certificate, will get back to you when I get it.

By the way, can you get any BMD certificates from that site? if you can what do you need ?

Regards

Colin.

Hi Colin.
Yes that site www.gro.gov.uk is the official site ,dont use any other sites that offer to get you the cert because they order it themselves from the GRO and then charge you a higher price to send it to you plus its takes longer because you are going through a 3rd party!!.
To order certs from the GRO you need their GRO ref and then ts costs £7 only.
for info the birth and marriage refs quoted at the beginning of the thread are GRO refs also from FreeBMD site
You can of course still apply to local records offices for certs .some will supply for family research altho lots of the london ones wont as they say they are too busy! The GRO refs then wont be any use because a local Office will have their own filing system
