Thanks all for your response, my g'mothers first names were Clara kathleen born in 1881 and Stovold was her name when married. Re. lillian She died in a home somewhere around London and the families suggested so far do not "fit". The Miss Duffs info. is correct and I would like to follow this trail -if any one can help with electoral roll that would be great,

So where and when did Clara marry?
If you have (or were to buy) her marriage certificate, her maiden name would be on it.

Where was Clara born?

We are trying to help you here, so please help us by telling us ALL and any relevant information. Please? :D ;D

There is a death registered in the oct-nov-dec quarter of 1962 of a Lilian E STOVOLD in Kensington district, London. The age given was 74, giving a birth year of 1888.

Never mind! Found her!

Marriages June qtr 1909
Wandsworth district    vol 1d, page 1109

Stovold, Clara Kathleen
Parkinson, Albert Edward

Edwin Summers is on the same page, but I cross-checked with the 1911 census ;D

But I can't find Clara on the 1901 ???


However, I DID find her in 1891!

I can see the 1909 marriage (10th April) in Wandsworth. She says her father was Charles STOVOLD (deceased), a greengrocer.

Aldershot (in 1881) came under the Farnham district.
I have checked all Clara births 1880-1882 in Farnham, and there is no Clara Kathleen.

There is a Clara Jemima, but she is with her family in 1891, born in Farnham.


1881 census, there is a Charles Stovold in Aldershot  ;D

Stovold, Charles  Servant  Single  M  27  Assistant  b Seale, Surrey

There is a Charles STOVOLD living in Aldershot on the 1881 census. He is unmarried, aged 27, born Seale, Surrey. He is an assistant to a fishmonger. Perhaps Clara's birth was registered under the mothers name if the parents were not married?

It's been suggested on another thead (to avoid duplication) that she may have been the daughter of a Kate SMITH who may have later gone on to marry a Charles STOVOLD See http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,537829.0.html

Refering back to Lilian and Scintilla's info. of  her possible death cert, in 1962 , latest family info says that this is just too early 1964-6 is about right,also, to reiterate a previous request  - now that we know the name of the house in Paddock wood -how can I verify the names of the inhabitants ??
