Baptism in West Ham request please

[ANNICK]

Hello from France,

I would be very grateful if somebody who could have access to some parish records of West Ham, Essex (but I think it is greater London nowadays), could tell me who were the parents of :

SOLLIS Ella Eva, born January 18, 1906

Thank you very much in advance. And all my best wishes for 2012.

I couldn't find her parents anywhere, but I see that she did not marry and she died in 1985. Pity she is not on the 1911 census as that would have given her parenst names. I guess the best way is to get a copy of her birth certificate from GRO.
regards.

Hello

She is on the 1911 census, but with her grandmother not her parents.

Her grandmother is Amy Amelia SOLLIS aged 79 a widow, born in Islington.
Also are Amy Amelia's son and daughter...

Alfred George SOLLIS aged 48 born City of London and Amy Eleanor SOLLIS aged 46 born City of London

and another granddaughter Hannah Howlett Pitcher aged 25 born Lambeth.

I hope this helps

No wonder I could not find her as the transcription differs from the actual census form. I have reported the error.

Hello Paco and Jayres,

Thank you for your very kind help.
I had found the 1911 census page where Ella Sollis age 5 appears. The problem is to relate her to the Sollis family. You are right : the best solution is to ask the birth certificate from the GRO.

Thanks anyway. Best regards,
Annick
