Wonder if Rosie and Sidney were illegit ??
My partners father William Mike Sisson passed away March 2011 and never talked about Rose (he never really got over the sudden death of Rose). Rose is my partners mother and she passed away when she was only 9 yrs old. This could be the case that W M Sisson never wanted to discuss the real situation with my partner about her mother
Very often a family member is given as father - just to "save face
Sometimes just the forename of father is correct if the child is illegit
Sometimes it is even a made up name
On the wedding certificate of Rose and William, Rose has given her fathers name as Leonard Chamberlain - Deceased
Also, Rose gave her age as 37 years when she got married on the 05th March 1960, which makes her birth date 1923, but my partner was told by her dad, W M Sisson that her mother was born in 1921 ?
Are you certai Rosie was b 1923?

There is a birth reg
Rosie Chamberlain
mother's maiden name Chamberlain
Mar qtr 1921
Hackney
1b 962
and
Birth reg
Sidney Chamberlain
mother's maiden name Chamberlain
Mar qtr 1916
Camberwell
1d 1466
I will follow up and look for the above
It would be interseting to see who Sidney gave as his father -and who Rosie gave as her father when she married Leslie H Dewdney??
This is very good detail which I am very keen to follow up, because we are basicly at a dead end
Just speculation:
I found a Sidney Leonard Chamberlain. So everyone called him Leonard, but when the first son arrived they called him Sidney and when the daughter arrived, they called her Rose or Rosie as I have seen on some documents
One bit of information from Lottie's death certificate was that in the occupation section it says:
Canteen assistant - Retired - Spinster which makes me believe that she never married
Rose, Sidney and Lottie we believe was in and around London and the counties around London, so Herefordshire could not be out of the question.
Thanks for the valuable information
