EMILY DEELEY born 1875

I am stumped.  Looking for the births of those two everywhere and nothing.  It's a pity you can't just search with mothers maiden name as surely they should be under Holbrook - or the oldest one at least as she was only 17/18 then. 

Unless William was the father with another woman and they are registered under her maiden name.

I wonder if they did "adopt" them out of thin air and they don't belong to either one of them.
They are down as son and daughter but......stumped.

There's a Gladys Dorothy Deeley birth registered Sep 1906 Croydon mothers name Port but doesn't look likely does it.

William Deeley/Annie Port marriage Mar 1900. 

No they are together as a family so she isn't the mystery Dorothy.

Not very likely Milliepede....a bit too remote, eh.

Even more remote but a Dorothy Holbrook was born Bath 1904 - no mothers maiden name.

Now didn't Elizabeth Mary Ann come from Bath?  I wonder if she headed home to have the baby?

If I can find a matching George Albert we could be in business!

The Scarlet Pimpernel(s) strike again !

I might have found something worth investigating in 1901 

Looking for Elizabeth Mary Ann under all the many surnames she had and found this one in Bath.

Marry (prob Harry) Curtis 23 born Bath
Emma Curtis wife 22 born Bath
Annie Butterfield married visitor 25 born Bath
George Butterfield visitor 5 born London


I think she was down as Annie once before.  This could be The George on 1911?

There's a George Albert Butterfield birth Sep 1895 Islington but that would be before George Hall Butterfield and EMA Holbrook married.

Plus mothers maiden name FITT per the new search.  Hmmm maybe not then.  I can't understand why he isn't under Holbrook if she was his mother because she wasn't married when he was born.

Too confusing by half and we still haven't got the answer to your original question.

There's another Butterfield/Fitt birth in Islington - Caroline Lydia in 1900 **

Maybe Fitt is another surname for Elizabeth to add to the rest but I can't see a marriage.

**baptism shows her parents as George and Lydia

Forget all that the family is together in 1911.  Marriage was under Fitts not Fitt in 1893.

Marry (prob Harry) Curtis 23 born Bath
Emma Curtis wife 22 born Bath
Annie Butterfield married visitor 25 born Bath
George Butterfield visitor 5 born London

Didn't click at first but Emma Holbrook sister of our Elizabeth married a Henry Curtis so even though it doesn't say sister in law for Annie I am 99% sure that must be Elizabeth with her sister.
