Victor Brown

[bobtonks]

From about 1946 till 1972 the Brown family lived in Impington
 Victor, Amelia, Maurice, Avis, Pamela and Reginald.
 
I have found (online) all in EASTBOURNE
 
1923 Victor Brown married Violett M Pratt
3 children, Maurice B 1925, Pamela D 1927 and Avis P 1932
 
1935 Violett Brown died
 
1936 Victor Brown married Amelia J K Benfield
one child Reginald V 1938
 
1917 the birth of Amelia J K Benfield
 
1905 the birth of Violett Mabel Pratt
 
BUT .. no sign of Victor Brown
 
There is a record for Cambridge of his death  1899 - 1981 , which sounds plausible.

Can anyone see the birth of Victor?

Would this be Impington, Cambridgeshire?

If so how about this one?

Have you checked him out on the 1939 register in Eastbourne?

[bobtonks]

Thank you for replying. Yes, it is Impington Cambs.
I looked at the 1939 census, 32 Wartling Rd, Eastbourne. Just Victor's name, the others were blacked out, and unfortunately the '39 census doesn't give birth place. Couldn't make out his occupation
I agree that the Cambridge birth would be the most obvious choice, but still not certain.
I tried to contact the Sussex Records Office to see if maybe the marriage record indicated his birth place but they couldn't help.

If nothing else turns up I will have to settle for the Cambridge birth.

Thanks again for looking

Marriage records won't include a birthplace

But the Marriage Certificate will contain his father's name.
And from that, maybe you/we can find him on the 1901 or 1911 censuses?
Cost is £9.25 from GRO.

We must be careful about naming the children of Victor?
RootsChat has a policy of not naming living, or potentially living, people.

This is what info you will get from a marriage cert....

It should of course show his father's name (unless you already know that,in which case the 1911 census would be easy enough to check out if he's the right chap)

Very few families shown as born Impington on 1901 and Victor isn't one of them

Louisa Maud

1901 RG13/1531 F 87 P 15
Cambridge
Ephraim Brown 33
Emily but shown as Lindy ? 35
Sidney 6
Reginald 4
VICTOR 1 born Chesterton
Florence ?

Not allowed to search 1911 for you but this might help you

Is this a possibility

I saw that family(and later too!) and wondered if it could be the right one,as there was a Reginald back then ,which seems to be a name that came down to the next generation.

A Cambridge registered birth does cover the village of Impington in 1899.
