If you read back Nicola, I did state not the Robert Buckle Marriage!, image has been checked, she was Ivy Lily Ricketts, Father, Walter, occ. Platelayer.

Ivy Death 1923, either Cert. or Burial Register scan, would give details...

Chris :)

AQ did post some details on Nellie Fowler, on bottom of previous page...

(AQ did ask earlier)

What were the details on Frederick's death certificate- in particular his address?

(did you find Death Cert.?)

(Hagerstown, was mentioned, perhaps Haggerston, would be in Borough of Hackney)

There's a Fowler family tree on Ancestry. The owner appears to be Kenneth.

The Elizabeth Alice Ricketts born 1909 and died 1976 is my nan wife of Frederick, Thanks for confirming Ivy who married Buckle is not my one, I have ordered Ivy death cert in 1923 Pancras and still waiting on death cert for Albert. Great that Choccy has found Kenneth and wife June, it seems that this is the only living relative. My mum registered( my grandfather) Frederick's death in 1972 and her brother registered Elizabeth Alice death( my grand mother) neither of them remember where they got full names and DOB's from, so I am taking info on death certs as guess work, which has lead me up the garden path so many times. Sure I have right Fred/Henry/Alfred Ricketts now.

AustinQ posted about Albert William Ricketts born 1915 and died 04/08/1945 in Sarawak. Can I get anymore info on his death? I am interested to know more about him and the circumstances of his death? was he in a POW camp?

I have just received death cert of Albert Ricketts( my gt grandfather?) he died in Whittington Hospital, Highgate aged 74 on 6th July 1951, address 77 Camden Street, St Pancras. N Fowler registered his death, living at 79 Villiers Road, Cricklewood.
Albert's occ is Builders Handyman.
This still brings me no closer to confirm my grandfather Frederick Alfred Ricketts and Henry Alfred Ricketts are the same person, Henry Alfred born 23rd Feb 1907 and Frederick Alfred Ricketts death cert gave DOB as 23rd Feb 1909( my mum registered his death and was not certain of year but she had 23rd Feb as definite birth day and month. No over lap in records for Henry and Fred, same place of birth same fathers name and occ and both had sister(Nellie Fowler for Henry) living in Cricklewood. I don' know how I can confirm they are the same person? Is it a case that I will never know for sure? I have friend requested June Fowler on FB( wife of Nellie's son Kenneth Fowler) but no reply. I would so like to tell my mum something I am sure of about her father :-(
