My missing Auntie Newly Discovered

[Greenvale]

Have found Rose Hannah on an Ancestry tree. Together with a lot of Askeys including her mother and uncles and aunts. There is a a Charles Henry Askey on there, her uncle, but he was born in 1894 and died in 1917 so it's looking unlikely that the Bagot Street address is where my Rose Hannah located in 1939. If I order the marriage cert. it should confirm this.
I also don't think that Rose was born in 1916 I think she was born in 1915.
There is a Charles Askey born in 1894 on the 1939 register but no mention of Rose there.
Not easy this family history lark is it?

I also don't think that Rose was born in 1916 I think she was born in 1915.

Didn't Ray give you her birth in one of the first answers?

Rose has a FreeBMD birth reg of Aston Dec 1915

So she was born October, November or December 1915 or possibly September and registered the next quarter.

Groom yes you're right.

This does not tie up with the Roseannah on 1939/45/50 or marriage/death, who is therefore the Violet Askey family in 1911 headed by a Charles 44 and Rosannah 44 Birmingham Paddington Street?


The Rose H Webb who died in Birmingham 1921 was b c 1886/7 not 1890 as post 1, same approx year of a possible with this family above?

So I think you need the 1915 birth certificate mmn Askey rather than any marriage certificate?

Oh I forgot to ask you, you do have full details of the marriage of Thomas James Webb to Rose H Askey 1915 don't you?

Hi Keyboard, sorry to delay replying to your post (Garden duties!)
As far as I can make out the 1939 entry for Bagot Street is the home address of Rose Hannah Webb's grandfather. Violet Askey is his daughter, Rose's aunt.
This Violet and Charles are the same ones on the 1911 census at Paddington street.
Your suggestion of ordering a (1915) Birth cert. for Rose is a sensible one but I think I will still go head with the marriage cert. for her and Norman Wood.
 As for the marriage between Thos J. Webb and Rose Hannah Askey, without ordering a marriage cert I am as sure as I can be using other reference points.

Hi again, on a 1955 Midlands Electoral Register at 8, Barton Street were Violet Askey, Norman E Wood and Rose H Wood

PS wonder why Rose H was so close to her Aunt?

[Greenvale]

HI. Yes got that one. I think at this stage it's down to the answers I get from the certs. I've applied for birth and marriage certs and they will take about a week to arrive. As soon as get them I'll let everyone know.

  Excellent, so wonder why Rose H /Rosannah believed she was born 8th September 1916 in 1939 and at death?!

I don't think people were quite so worried about age as we are - they didn't constantly have to put their date of birth on forms etc. I expect somewhere along the way a year got lost. My grandmother was a year older than she thought - we only discovered that when my uncle found her birth certificate before he registered her death aged 97, as we thought, but actually 98. We think that may have been because she was born just 3 months after her parents married, so perhaps they tried to hide that from her.
