Charles Fitzmaurice born 1907 married Edith Graty 1932. Any help please?
« on: Friday 03 February 17 21:17 GMT (UK) »
Hello, I am doing my partner's family tree and we seem to have come to a stop with Charles Fitzmaurice who was born in Walsall in 1907 and died in 1967.  We have found his birth, marriage and death but cannot find anything else, ie whether he had any brothers or sisters.  He doesn't seem to appear on the 1911 Census.  One side of the family had Irish roots but not sure if it was the Fitzmaurices or Gratys.

Many thanks

Janet Hills

The only birth registration I can find on both FreeBMD and the new GRO index 1906 - 1908 is a Charles Augustus Fitzmaurice Dec 1/4 1906 Dudley registration district mother's maiden name - Cutler

Added;- Peter Fitmaurice married Clara Cutler Dec 1/4 1903

This family is easy to find in 1911. No wrong spellings of surname in the transcription. :)
using the GRO index and FreeBMD will show an older brother Joseph and any other siblings.

Whether this is your family? Charles marriage certificate will give his father's name and occupation.

Thank you. My partner has now found the family tree his aunt have him. How embarrassing is that? There are quite a few of the FitzM and those names you suggest are on there so I am very grateful for all your replies. There is also the Irish connection too. I'll put them now into FamilyEcho which is very easy.
