Hi, this is my first time here ... im trying to find more details on my great grandmother HANNAH ELIZABETH BOULT.. I know she lived in Seymour street, Deptford, Kent (now London) between 1900-1930. She was born around 1875 and have been told it was in Ireland..  Any extra details will help... The house number in Seymour street would be handy so i could  visit it (now called Admiral street).. actual date and place of birth/ parents names.. details on her children ( i believe at least one served in the 1st world war)... thanks in advance

Hi, welcome to Rootschat.

Was Boult her maiden or married name? There is this family in 1901, but in Greenwich

George R Boult     46  Iron Plate worker     Wolverhampton
Hannah E Boult   26                                   Greenwich

Susie Boult           5                                     Greenwich

Just seen Shane's post - looks like the right family.

possible birth for George from FreeBMD Index :

  Quarter/Year : Mar 1894
  Name : George Richard Boult
  Registration District : Greenwich
  Volume : 1d / Page : 1133   

a birth cert would give you more details, such as Hannah's maiden name etc

Using the free 1911 census, there is an Eliza Hughes in the house with them, presumably Hannah's mother,

There is this family in 1881
RG11; Piece: 722; Folio: 52; Page: 4;
4 Skinners Row Greenwich

Isaac Hughes   44  Labourer      Berkshire
Eliza Hughes   46                      Berkshire
Mary Hughes   17                      Greenwich
Sarah Hughes   10                      Greenwich
Anne Hughes   6                        Greenwich
Walter Stapley   40   boarder       Brighton     

I suspect that Anne is Hannah

Here is Hannah's birth

Looks as if the Irish birth wasn't correct.
