Hi All,
I wondered if anyone could do a look up for me please I am really struggling.
Albert James Smith dob approx. 1870-1874.
His Father was a Charles Smith, do not know Mothers name, nor his first wife's name
Charles had died by 29 April 1913 OCC listed as Road Inspector when Albert re-married. Albert's address on his second marriage cert is 34 Dorian Road Merton London
Other address I have for Albert are: 5 Jan 1914
34 Chestnut Road Merton
1 March 1915
349 Kingston Road Merton
I know it is a tall order, I have so far sent for 4 birth certs for Albert and they are all wrong as are the 2 marriage certs I have.

They had 2 children Ellen Florence born and died 1914 Merton Then there was Frank ( Alisons Grandfather born 1915 Merton.
Emily's parents were Frank groom and Amelia

Are you sure you have the right Emily A Groom?
The Emily Groom from Croydon appears to be Emily Alice Groom baptised 7 Jun 1874 at Christ Church, West Croydon, Surrey. Father George Groom and mother Sarah Jane.
Emily Amelia Groom was baptised 5 Dec 1880 at Newington All Souls, Southwark. Father Frank Groom and mother Amelia Elizabeth.

Hi,
The info I have relayed is the info that Alison has given to me, She has said that she has the info via certs on her.

Strangely my Grooms ended up in Croydon, but I can't see any connection at the moment, apart from the name Emily.
My great grandmother was Julia Maria Groom born 15 Dec 1846 in Poplar Middlesex, but baptised 14 Nov 1847 in Tunstall, Suffolk. The family returned there, presumably when her father became ill with Consumption. He died in July 1847. By 1861 Julia's mother and 3 sisters were in Croydon but in that census Julia was with her grandmother in Tunstall. Julia was in Croydon by 1869 when she married James Hayward, they called their 6th child (my grandmother) Emily.

Hi Again,
I will speak to Alison when she calls round and let you know what she has on the grooms, to see if there is a connection.
