Hi Anthony,

Pleased to hear that the death cert turned out to be the correct one.

I think you have my email address as I sent you a census image a while ago so if you want to send a copy of the cert I'll take a look for you.

Christine

You can send it to me too if you wish Anthony. I think you have my address.

Hi Dea
Where should I have looked to find those details please?

What do you think the death cert says re cause of death? Even with the strange handwritting it couldn't be tuberculosis, could it?

I'll send pms to Christine in Portugal & Astra, hopefully in time to stop them doing any extra work now you have found the answer

Anthony - I have sent you the full details !!

He DID die of tuberculosis !!!

I have also given you the third name mentioned on his cert.

Hope this all helps

Certainly looks right to me.
I have to dash. It's the last episode of Spooks in a few minutes.
Can't miss it!
Have a good night

Sorry Dea, I didn't mean to imply you were wrong, what I should have said was that the certificate doesn't say tuberculosis. It says something else which is probably the same thing just different wording.

I haven't received your pm yet

It certainly does help

Thank you so much

Thanks everyone, I've edited the info above adding the correct name and cause of death.

So, he definitely wasn't around to be my dad's father - back to the drawing board.

I really appreciate all the help

Hi Tony.
Sorry I couldn´t help yesterday.
Pthisis is the old name for TB. usually caused by dust getting on the lungs, so it was an industrial disease. My g grandfather died of it, having been a tailor & inhaling dust fibres. John B was a metal filer so presumably the same effect.

We're still here and have been dabbling on the family tree throughout the summer, only finding small amounts of information and still not finding out who my paternal grandfather was.

In March we had another message from the great, great,granddaughter of Ellen Kirby Clarke, she is the great granddaughter of Ellen Jane Babbington born 1899 and the granddaughter of Philip Babbington. She had been asked to research the family tree by her nan on her fathers side of the family and had been concentrating on this as she had a lot of information already. It turned out that she knew little about the Babbington side of the family and until then had not been researching this, on her tree she has only gone back as far as Phillip Babbington, her grandfather.

During the summer we've also had contact, through Ancestry, with the great great granddaughter of Job Owen who was the brother of Sydney Owen, the husband of Rosie May Babbington but, unfortunately she knew little about the family history.
