Hi Carole,

Many thanks for the reply, yes she was living at birth but died after a few days. We do have the birth and death certificatesand that is how we know she died at the hospital. sadly the certificates do not give burial informarion.

My grandmother in law (childs mother) never knew what happened to the baby after death as she was very distressed and there was a great stigma attached to having a severely disabled child in those times. We know there was never a funeral held and the childs father worked at the hospital so we believe he gave the hospital permission to bury the baby.

Babies wernt 'disposed' of but were sent for burial in a publc grave usually and i was just wondering if maybe this was the case?

many thanks

Hi,

Im looking to find a way of tracing the correct mother of William Down Beaney born Jun 1810 in charing.

William was born 2nd June and christened september 1810 in charing, unfortunately he was born Illigimate and only his mother was listed as Catherine Beaney. I have a bastardy bond for william that lists parents as William Down and Catherine Beaney. I have found 2 possible matches for Catherine but unsure how to prove which one it is, the two are:
Catherine Beaney born 1788 in Willesborough, Kent.
or
Catherine Beaney born 1792 in Chilham, Kent.

Please Help if you can. Thank You.

Kind Regards,

Gordon.

Hi,

Just a thought but Woodchurch in Kent has a large number of Fullagars in their records and even have pictures etc in the Woodchurch museum. The do have a website with lots of searchable databases.

www.phone-pages.org.uk/wch/wmgr.htm is their website and it may be worth a try!


Thanks

Thanks Dilly,

Herbert George Beaney was born 26th June 1912 in Bermondsey. He Married Oliesi Stankaitis 30th October 1938 in Bermondsey. The age on his Marriage Certificate matches his Birth. we have found one confirmed Daughter Roseanne Margaret Beaney born Jun 1939 in Bermondsey.

Roseanne Married Patrick Tordini 25 Jun 1960 in Fulham & on there Marriage Certificate there is a Bernadette Valerie Beaney as a Witness.

Oliesi died 15 Sep 1997 as Oliesi Fraser formally Beaney and the informant was Bernadette Valerie Irvine (Daughter)

I can not find Herbert's Death, Oliesi's Marriage to Mr Fraser or Bernadette's Birth or Marriage.

If you could help with any of the above information, I would be very grateful.

Thanks,

Serena.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

His wife died under the name of Fraser formerly Beaney but I cant find a marriage for Oliesi Beaney to a Mr Fraser anywhere.

The 2nd daughter I cant find anything for except she is witness at her sister marriage in 1960 and witness to her mothers death in 1983.

I did write to the witness daughter at the address listed on her mothers death certificate but had no response.

As far as I can tell there are only 2 children.

thanks for the suggestions
