Title: Rose Northam
Post by: heathera1940 on Thursday 26 July 18 16:16 BST (UK)
Hi there
I am looking for any info on Rose /Rosie Northam b. c 1887 London. Parents Samuel Northam and Elizabeth Rogers.  In the 1911 census she is living in Okehampton with her parents and siblings. I cannot find a birth for her. There seems to be no info after the1911  census.
many thanks
Heather

Many thanks for that. I have been looking for ages. Now I will try and find out what happened to her.

It looks likely that she married Barton B Brockington, Sep qtr 1915 Exeter.

FreeBMD has her name indexed as Emily R Northall, but Barton's entry is cross-referenced to spouse name Northam.

With this information I believe you will find her in 1939 with the correct birthdate.
