Find Ancestors

an elderly relative is longing to find info about her half brother born in Lambeth/Battersea in 1912 who died in 1998 he was named Charles henry wickhens but the surname was spelt wrongly it should have been wickens he wed ivy imber in 1938 they were living in west ewell at that time I can trace the imbers back some but ivy seems to be a mystery ivy lilian was a 1yr old in the 1911 census but had the name newton the family were living at the same address as the one named on the wed cert of ivy and charles

Were there two Ivys? It's not a common name.

This appears to be poor Isabella? Maybe it's not her? The poor woman was very troubled. Described as being demented, muttering to herself and frequently trying to undress, she was also violent to other inmates and had a very bad memory.

ivy's parents might not have been married could have been a child born to henry and isabella's daughter

But Henry and Isabella's unmarried daughter would be an Imber, not a Newton.

so perhaps Isabella had a daughter when she was very young, who in turn was Ivy's mother.

(i.e. Ivy is Isabella's granddaughter, not Henry's)

Welcome to the boards Sandra.

The best way to go would be to purchase a copy of Ivy's birth certificate.
