loveridge/parker

Hello

I did a random PARKER / LOVERIDGE birth search 1911 - 1930 on Freebmd.org.uk

this came up

Parker  Stephen,  mothers maiden name Loveridge,  Luton  3b 624

Luton is the area of the registrars office

volume 3b

page 624

Besides the naem this is the information you will need to order the certificates via gro.gov.uk

I am not suggesting that Stephen is a family member just using it as an example

thanks elzabels that is a great help now i get what the numbers mean. you never know stephen could be a son or nephew. i shall bear that in mind.

can any one tell me if/how i could find info on a divorce. once i have that i can forget the len sweetman marriage to my gran.
thanks so much tracey

Well you and I now have the same problem, my mother married a GI in 1944 yet 4 years later she married again....

I have been advised that it was only the wealthy who obtained divorces, and if my mother had got a divorce, which I doubt it, it would have been under the Herbert marriage act of 1937. so I think it is unlikely that you will find divorce papers as we understand it....more likely the parties lost touch  and one assumed the other to be deceased or even changed their names..

Even in 1944/48 Registrars accepted what they were told, it is only current day society that requires the relevant 'bit' of paper, and like a lot of roots members we have grown up and into the need for paperwork.
Also remember that a lot of 'offices' which stored records were bombed in WW11.

A birth certificate is more likely to give you the answer, I think you need to be very selective with which one you select in order to keep the costs down.....

hi all. back again have found out a bit more about lavinia today. i have found her death record. she actually died in oct 1988 not 89. her dob is down as 25th aug 1897. i had a look for her in bmd and think i have her, born in hoxne, norfolk/ suffolk. putting this info into the 1901 census i come straight back to the stephen and susan loveridge family in higham ferrars. the only thing being the lavina there is listed as aged 2 not 4. i cant seem to get away from the family so i wander very much if it is hers. i am going to order her death and marriage cert and see what that gives me and then prob birth cert for this lavina., could be her. i seem to keep coming back to them, and lavina loveridge doesnt seem to be that common a loveridge name.
thanks tracey

Hi Jemma thanks for replying. we are related then. This post seems a long time ago now, i have found out so much more about lavinia and her parents. My gran is peggy sister of ding,comfort and all the others. I know where lavinia is it was the beginning of lavinia's life i didnt know. .Which of my mead relations are you from.
