Hi, I wonder if anyone can please help me? I am trying to fine any information on my great grandmother so I can order her birth certificate and her parents marriage certificate.
The only information I have is on her Australian marriage certificate in 1907. Her name was Johanna Mary Head, aged 28, from Hastings, Sussex. and her parents were George Head, Contractor, deceased and Elizabeth Nicols, deceased. I have not been able to locate her anywhere via free searches so can not proceed any further back - cheers - Jenny

The only marriage with a George Head and an elizabeth Nichols on the same page that I can spot on FreeBMD is:
Dec 1867 Bethnal Green 1c 545
George Head to either Sophia Wilmot or Elizabeth Nichols
I searched the 1871 census for a possible couple and the best match I come up with (but really, it's just a guess) is:
1871
RG10/742 78 20
St Paul Deptford, London
40 Hales Street
George Head, head, 25, Bricklayer's Labourer, b. Hants Southampton
Elizabeth, wife, 25, b. London Shoreditch
Arthur, son, 3, b. Southwark Boro
George, son, 1, b. Kent Deptford
Interestingly, there's a George Head age 11 born Greenwich at the South Metropolitan district school in Sutton in 1881:

Also a Catherine Head age 13 - I'm nearly wondering whether the Arthur age 3 on the 1871 census should really be Catherine (there's a birth Catherine Head - Mar 1868 - St George Southwark 1d 160)

Firstly thank you to all the people who have taken the time to reply to, and welcome me to Rootschat.
I have also been scratching my head over her. I have her Aussie marriage and death certificates and a birth certificate of her only child, which all state that her birth year should be 1879. Also on the birth certificate for her child, it states: Mother, Johanna Mary Head, Hastings, Sussex, England. I think that maybe she did shave 5/6 years off her age once she landed in Australia! I just do not know what to do next to get her birth certificate, so I can confirm her parents place of birth, ages etc. Does anyone know if I am able to access any records (by paying) from the South Metripolitan Dist School, and what information I would likey to find? Maybe I should take a punt and send for the Death Certificate for Elizabeth?? - cheers - Jenny

There is a Mary HEAD birth registered Hastings, Dec qtr 1872, 2b 21, which would be in the right age group to be 8 in 1881 and 18 in 1891.
