Title: Mothers name on Birth Cert
Post by: Zoe44 on Saturday 07 July 18 21:16 BST (UK)
Hi I have a copy of my great grandmothers birth cert. and wanted to ask your opinion on her mother's name if poss?

Im reading it as  ..
"Charlotte Allen late Marshall formally Lamb"
Is that correct?

Also could the "Late Marshall" mean from a previous marriage??

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me! 😊

Hi and thank you..
Yes i have the census records for her just not her marriage info to Frederick...

Didn't realise until a few days ago she'd been married before.

Had a feeling Henry might not be Fredricks son but its the marriage details for her and Fred I'm really struggling to find!

Although he's Frederick on census returns, I wonder about this marriage

Charlotte Marshall march qtr 1875 St Saviour vol 1d pg 118 with Alfred Allen the only other name on the page.

Death reg for first husband

Henry William Marshall 28 march qtr 1874 St Olave vol 1d pg 130

Yes Alfred is my only match too!!
My grandmother told me her grandparents were Charlotte and Frederick but maybe he was born Alfred as I can't find any other records..
Im hitting a brick wall!! Lol

I think Henry Allen is definitely her 1st husbands son as the dates tie in but I'll keep looking and thanks again!

Hi Sue no I found her 1st marriage details quite easily but thankyou 😊
Title: Re: Mothers name on Birth Cert

Well in that case you already knew her father's name from the Parish register.
Have you located him in 1861?

I am happy to type the details of these items, but if you have them, it is not necessary.

From his baptism record, it is clear Henry is the child of Henry, the first husband .

Thanks Sue so much, I didn't realise Eliza was Charlotte's sister.
I'll have a look into his baptism, she would have been remarried by then..
Would it have been normal to babtise with late father's name once remarried? I'm not sure how it worked in those days x

In connection with the above, it may be worth noting that when Henry was baptised in 1878 (see reply #14), a child with the surname WHITE was baptised on the same day and from the same address, which was 12 King & Queen Street.

Hi Zoe.
Further information would be available regarding your Charlotte, both following her second marriage and, on the other hand, regarding her ancestry and extended family.

It is up to you to let us know the direction you wish to take with your searches.

Hi Sue
Thankyou for your kind msg, I'm interested in it all as she's next in-line above my great grandmother who I knew as a child.

From what I've found so far I think she spent time in workhouses but if you have any further info I'd be more than grateful for your help.

Many thanks Zoe x

There are numerous workhouse admission and discharge records for women named Charlotte ALLEN.
The only one which I could confidently confirm as yours is..

Charlotte Allen. CofE.
Admitted at Southwark/Camberwell
Wife of Fredk M, an engineer.
Discharge.
Reason for discharge-Transferred to Infirmary
Remarks-Mental.

After this, I have not made another definite sighting for Charlotte

The couple appear on the 1901 census with daughters Rose and Ethel and marriages of the  children, Albert Edward, Charles and Ethel are digitally available to view. I will search further for  Lottie Louisa ALLEN, baptised 1889 

Frederick ALLEN was registered to vote in 1907 and at the same address as the 1911. 14 Bergham Mews
Frederick ALLEN is in 1911 census and is a lodger with a family named BOND.

Yes the only one I was sure about was the Southwark/Camberwell one too. 
There is another discharge book that mentions transfer to Horton Asylum so she may have ended up there bless her, im just not 100% sure.

I'd be very grateful for Charles Allen's marriage info as he disappeared off to Australia and was never heard from again so every little clue helps with him! Lol

Also not sure who Lottie Louisa ALLEN is?

Many thanks x

About Lottie.
Lottie Louisa ALLEN is very confusing. May be just a coincidence of names. Not sure.

Baptism parish of St John the Baptist. Middlesex. Year 1889.
June 9th.
Lottie Louisa child of Frederick and Charlotte ALLEN. 39 Elmore Street. He an Engineer.

Births Dec 1879 
ALLEN Lottie Louisa
St. Saviour

GRO information.

ALLEN, Lottie  Louisa
Mother's maiden surname  NOURISH    
GRO Reference 1879  D Quarter
ST SAVIOUR SURREY
Volume 01D  Page 177    
 
I do not see Lottie Louisa living with the family you are researching .
 
 Sue
 ADDING
I think I see another child to the  couple ALLEN and NOURISH, so that probably confirms Lottie Louisa as not related to your family. Just a coincidence of parental names and occupations!

Yes I think she might just be a very close coincidence of names..
My grandmother was a hive of information for family names and names and dates and I don't recall that name ever being mentioned although strangely close coincidence so still a possibility.

I'll leave you in peace now I'm sorry but thanks so much for all your help!! x

Hi Zoe,

Well I am not so sure Charles did leave England,

The 1911 census shows his address as 8 Amoy Place Limehouse and he and Beatrice can be seen there to 1915.
Then there is a possible change of address, but then by 1923 they are at 8 Amoy Place again.

They are on the 1939 Register, at another address, with others and his previous occupation is unchanged Police Officer. And the birth dates tally.
