If you mean does it say anything about them on the birth or death certs, I'm afraid you'll have to buy the certs to know that.

What do you know about them already?

I am sorry I have been late in replying haven't had much chance. Have looked through everything and a few things to check.The last ones have been interesting must look to see if they are anything to do with my family as I have a lot of Deane's on my tree
So appreciative of what you have done for me I didn't expect so much
I knew there was another child born to William & Frances with the name Henry but couldn't find anything, thank you for that.
Also I wondered if you could just look one other thing up for me with regards to James Henry Frederick Deane 1908-1977 and wife Lily May Herridge. I think my husband had a brother 1931-1931 Edwin J Deane Bedwelty 11a 124 birth and 11a 94 death - I have the mother as a Herridge but wondered if it said anything else about the parents so I know for sure.

A runaway marriage, it seems!

Anthony William Johnson Deane

Name: Anthony William Johnson Deane
Residence: England, Devon, Great Torrington
Marriage Date: 15 Dec 1819
Spouse: Sarah Eliza Stable
Spouse Residence : England, Middlesex, St George Hanover Square


Looks like an interesting family - but I'll stop here unless you think it's oworth pursuing - maybe totally irrelevant to your current search:

Anthony William Johnson Deane
in the London, England, King's Bench and Fleet Prison Discharge Books and Prisoner Lists, 1734-1862
Name: Anthony William Johnson Deane
Committed Prison Place: London, England
Discharge Date: 10 Dec 1833
Discharge Prison Place: London, England
Prison: Fleet Prison

I'm not sure what the wording on the image means, but he seems to have used different versions of his name. "Anthony otherwise Johnson Deane otherwise Anthony William Johnson Deane."

"Rem'd 5 calendar months"

Debtors' prison, perhaps? Lots of other names listed with his - possibly creditors??

EDIT:
Yes, debtors prison, according to a very well-researched and detailed tree on Ancestry.

Richard William isn't mentioned on the same tree, but there must be some link, because of all the Cheriton burials..

You still need to get a copy of the 1877 death cert to be sure if that's the right man.

The biography added by a helper on Findagrave says he's Frances's husband, but there's no photo of his gravestone, and the photo of Frances's stone isn't clear enough to see if he's named on it or not.

The death cert says Richard William, but the burial record says William Richard.
Presumably the same person, but we still don't know which is the correct version of his name.

For what it's worth, Richard 1870 was in Cheriton in 1891 - census already posted.


Looking at Cheriton Cemetery on findagrave, there are several other Deanes buried there,

One is another of Frances's children:

And his mother:

Death 21 Sep 1932 (aged 57–58)


And another of George and Clara's children:

There are also three members of this family below. As it's another Army family, I assume they're related in some way:

Thank you everybody for your help - there is a lot to process and to check with what I have. Already picked up a couple of things one regarding the Father William Richard b1839 - I was never sure of the Middle name.
Also apologies which would have made it harder for you I made a silly mistake and put Frederick George when it should have been the other way around, sorry about that
You have all been a great help as it is my husbands family and I want to get it right.
Much appreciated.

You mention trees on Ancestry.

Of those which mention the parents, some only have his mother's name, with father "unknown" or "Private".

Some say the father was William Deane, some say Richard William (1839-77), but don't provide proof of the name.

They claim that this is his death:

Deaths Dec 1877 (>99%)
DEANE Richard William 38 Elham 2a 506

You would have to buy a copy of the cert to be sure this is the correct man.
The trees don't include a scan of the cert as proof.

For our reference - the marriage you mention:

George Frederick, not Frederick George (and all other records for him - censuses, army, etc - seem to be George or George Frederick):

I am trying to trace Richard after 1891 Census when he was a (Private) Soldier in the West Kent Regiment (Infantry) His father was William Deane B1839 and mother Frances Rawlings(Nee Care) On the Marriage of his brother Frederick George Deane in 1898 it said father Richard William Deane (deceased - Pay Sergeant) But didn't mention the name Richard on his birth Certificate. First of all I thought there could have been a mistake and put his brothers name in place of fathers as that is this only time I have heard of Richard William in the family but I think I must be mistaken on that.
I have looked on Ancestry on Public Trees and his name is on there but can't access it as I am not a full Member. Was wondering if anybody could help me with regard to Richard
Much appreciated if you could help me
