WHITNEY and GUMBLE, Essex

[CitizenSmith]

Hi

I'd welcome some help with tracing the date and place of death of an Essex Traveller called Noah Whitney or Witney.

He was born in 1897 in Ongar registration district and baptised in Orpington, Kent, a year later, the son of Ben and Alice Witney. His mother's surname was Durrant. I've found the family in the 1901 census in Caxton, Cambridgeshire, but can't find any of them in 1911 so far.

In 1938 Noah married Alvina Gumble in Dunmow registration district. I've traced Alvina's death in 1972 where she's recorded as Elvy Whitney. Noah was still alive at the time.

Is anyone else researching Whitneys and Gumbles in Essex who can share any info on Alvina or Noah?

Thanks in advance.

Best wishes
Sharon

You will find entry's for your family in the recently released London, Electoral Registers, 1835-1965 in Edmonton

Nothing else found on your family in the census post 1901!

Many thanks for the birth and the electoral registers lead - very useful.
