family history society wanted
« on: Thursday 29 January 15 20:57 GMT (UK) »
Hi
Can someone tell me which Family History Society I would need to contact to find records in Greenwich, Lewisham and Bromley.
I am looking for the death of George Edward Brown of 100 Greenwich Road SE10
Any help would be appreciated

HI Susard

He was born in March 1902 and married Letitia Cogling Jones The address I gave is what was shown on his Sons marriage certificate.  I have managed to find some people I think were siblings but need to prove them before I go back further.
No help from other peoples trees as I think they all copy each other so if one is wrong they are all wrong . Here in Essex we can log onto seax and pay per view for the parish records so I am hoping to find a similar site for Greenwich and Lewisham I keep sending for hopeful certificates which are not mine.........So any help is good. Also in Essex the EFHS does sell cd of parish records so hopefully kent do too.
Thanks for coming back to me
Ronnie

Hi

According to https://probatesearch.service.gov.uk/#wills Letitia Codling Brown died 10th Dec 1997. If she was buried and not cremated George might be in the same grave. Also, newspaper notices regarding Letitia may indicate whether George was still alive in 1997.
