Surrey Lookup Requests / cause of death
« on: Saturday 21 January 23 23:30 GMT (UK)  »
Without the purchase of a death certificate, is it possible to find the cause of death? An ancestor died as an infant in Guildford. His father (Israel Eric) was forced by law in the 1911 Census to disclose it. That's how I found it out.  Alfred Frederick Wickens   
                                       b. Dec. 9, 1897
                                       d. Dec      1898

The Common Room / English Names
« on: Tuesday 01 November 22 23:28 GMT (UK)  »
In English names, sometimes their is a "de" preceding it. This seems to occur more the earlier in time. Not many modern English use it. But go back a thousand years and it seems easy to come across, especially among landowners. That leads me to the conclusion that these individuals have some or all Norman blood. Am I right, here? We're their many English "de"s in 1065?
I ask this because I have come across a possible relative in 1405 with "de" preceding his name.

Surrey / Chertsey house records
« on: Sunday 21 November 21 22:04 GMT (UK)  »
I was wondering if there are any records available to get an understanding of what circumstances my g.g. parents lived in 1891. They lived with their daughter, Anne, and died in 1892 and 1893. That is, who owned the home? I doubt that they did. And, what was the home and area like? Etc.
The address was: #2 Rose Cottages, 3 Laburnum Road, Chertsey.

Berkshire / parents
« on: Thursday 02 September 21 23:35 BST (UK)  »
Joseph Wickens (1806 Wolverton -1892 Surrey) had a father, William (1790? 1851 Census, Woolhampton, d. 1856 Newbury).
Anyone ever come across who William's parents might be? My suspicion is that they were roaming migratory farm laborers and unrecorded.

Surrey / Baby's information
« on: Tuesday 09 March 21 18:50 GMT (UK)  »
The wonderful 1911 Census forced exposure of family secrets. In Guilford, in 1898 on Denzil Rd. a baby was  born and died, the Census claims. I suspect that the whole episode was not recorded in birth records. But they would have had to bury the infant, I suppose.
Any help on this topic, such as a name, if given, or burial site, if undertaken, is greatly appreciated.
