I have been trying to find the death record of Ellen Clayton, born 1832 Bath, Somerset, lived in London with her family, husband Thomas Clayton and children from about 1838 to last known record the 1891 census.  Both Ellen and Thomas were alive at this census but neither can be found on the 1901 or 1911 census, so I presume that they died between 1891 and 1901.  I have four possibilities for the death of Ellen Clayton:  1895, Islington, 1910 Islington, 1893 Brompton Cemetery, March 1893 Wandsworth.  I would like to purchase her death certificate but don't know how to check which Ellen Clayton is my great-great-grandmother before purchasing.  Is there any way to confirm a death without having to buy several certificates which may be incorrect?  I would really appreciate help with this.

I have a record of George Parker, born Kings, NY, on 26 November 1894 to George Parker and Elisabeth Ann Clayton.  George and Elisabeth Ann apparently divorced by the 1900 US census and George had a new wife, Florence, and child living in NY.  Elisabeth Ann was living with the Harell family and called herself 'Annie Clayton'.  She had 2 living children, not with her.  One was George, the other was Ada Marion Parker Hill.  I have traced Ada Marion but would appreciate help in finding more about her son, George.  He may have been adopted or fostered or in an orphanage.  I have no records for him after his birth.

I also do not know what happened to Elisabeth Ann Parker (Annie Clayton) after the 1900 census.

Can anyone help with the Will of John Rudach, April 1766, London.  Place - Foreign Parts.

It may be the Will of my ancestor as he was a soldier with no fixed home base and may have made this Will either when stationed abroad or when in London after returning from abroad.  He was born in Marnoch, Banffshire in April 1732 to George Rudach.  He later married and had a daughter, Margaret Ruddock/Riddoch, apparently born Petty, Inverness around 1780.  The spelling of the surname changed at some point after John's birth and Margaret was always known as Riddoch until she married John McManus and settled in Elgin, Morayshire.

Any tips, help or advice would be much appreciated!

I am trying to find a child born (in the UK, at sea, or in New York) to George Parker and Elizabeth Ann Clayton Parker 1891 to 1898.  The children that I have found so far are:
Child 1:  George Thomas Parker born 5 Aug 1889 London, UK, died as an infant
Child 2: Ada Ellen Parker born 6 Aug 1890 London, UK died as an infant
Child 3: Born?  lived to 1900 census apparently
Child 4:  George Parker born 1894, lived at least to 1900 census apparently
Child 5:  Constance Parker born 1896 died May1898 Kings, NY

On George Parker's birth certificate, it states that he is the 4th child of George and Elizabeth Ann Clayton Parker.

Elizabeth Ann (also known as Annie) Clayton Parker emigrated in 1891-1893, separately from her husband George, from England to New York.  I have yet to find her emigration record.  Her husband, George, emigrated in October 1893, England to New York on the "Teutonic".

In the 1900 census, Annie Clayton is divorced, working as a saleswoman, and living with the Harell family.  She doesn't have any children with her but says that she has had 5 children, 2 of whom are still living.  Her husband George remarried Florence Schmitz on 25 Sept 1897 and went on to have several children.  He stated on his marriage certificate that it was his first marriage when it was his second.

I cannot locate the two living children of George Parker and Elizabeth Ann Clayton on any census, but both were apparently alive in 1900 according to Annie Clayton's 1900 census record.

Any information or advice on the missing child's birth, and what happened to Annie Clayton and her two living children after 1900 would be much appreciated.
