Any help really appreciated re Charles and Ethel Patmore please. I have recently discovered my granfather had a half brother (same mother) called Charles Henry PATMORE born Leyton 1888. After distinguised service in Royal Artillery he married Ethel Richardson in 1916 and after leaving the army in 1920 moved to 54 Old Dover Road Blackheath London.
From here there is a complete blank - did they have children? What was his occupation? Where can I go to find out anything about them.
Thanks for your help and guidance.

Hi Linda
the death cert doesnt specify a place of death, just the registration district of Hackney, and death in the sub disctrict of Hackney South East in the Metropolitan Borough of Hackney.

The cause is difficult the totally decyper (doctors writing) but  can read.... acute disseminated Lupus....

I also have a death certificate for my brother who died the same day (aged 2 days) but his certificate is registered in the Registration district of Bethnal Green in the sub district of Bethnal Green North East in the Metropolitan Borough of Bethnal Green.

I know Hackney and Bethnal Green are close to each other so am assuming that my mother was moved from the hospital my brother was in (Queens Hospital) to another hospital because of her condition.

Both these events were on 30th March 1953.

Confused.....

Hi Folks,

Wondered if anyone had had previous experience in getting access to the medical records of their parents or other relatives?

I have always been told that my mother who died in 1953 when I was a child, died of Leukemia, however, I have just been advised by my aunt, that my mother had a complaint called Lupus which was the cause of her premature death.

Obviously I have had a look into the Lupus side and wondered now if, under new legislation, I would be able to view her medical records if I could track them down?

Dont have a great deal of information apart, obviously her name and date of death, and the hospital in Hackney where she died?

Appreciate any advice or assistance on this?

Thanks.

Hi Folks.

Can someone give me some guidance please on how I might be able to track down any newspaper reports or coroners reports relating to a suicide in 1900 in Chelmsford Essex.

It would appear that my G-Grandfather Frederick Smith, age 36, committed suicide by throwing himself into the river Chelmer at Springfield. According to the death certificate I have just received, he was discovered on 15th June 1900.

If anyone knows of any newpapers which might have been in circulation at that time and where there back issues might be held I guess that would help.

Thanks.

Ken
