Henry Kimpton and Susan Trayte

[Benzol]

HI
Thanks to the three of you, I've progressed a family line that I didn't know I had. Obviously much more than I expected from my original query. Thanks for all your effort and ingenuity. I started off by thinking that Henry was an illegitimate son of Thomas Barnes, my great grandfather's brother. Turned out that Mary Kimpton was part of the Barnes clan of north east Herts anyway.

Just left with the mystery of James Kimpton, baker, the absentee husband!

Before the query is closed -  Do you happen to know what the system was that allowed children born abroad to be registered for birth in the UK? Why did George Victor Kimpton, Henry's son, have 6 children birth registered in Islington when they were born Paget Bermuda? Also Ellen E Hollis (nee Kimpton), Henry's daughter, had children in Suriname registered in Shoreditch. Not sure Suriname was even part of the Empire.

Once again thanks for all the great detective work. Case closed.

Which children were they

Hi Rosie99

The question was a general one about "process". I was surprised that the children were allocated a Registration District in the UK particularly when I was unable to find the family in the census 1901 & 1911.

However these are the 6 Kimpton children|:-

Henry James b.1895
Elizabeth Alice b. 1898
Maud Beatrice b. 1903
Grace Florence b. 1905
Edith Lilian b.1910

The last child was, and this is my version of the GRO record:-
"GLADYS IRENE Kimpton was born in 1914 in Paget, Bermuda, to Alice Beatrice Tully, age 41, and George Victor Kimpton, age 40. GRO Reference: 1914 S Quarter in ISLINGTON Volume 01B Page 590"

The others all had similar details in the GRO

 thanks Benzol

Where does the information that the Hollis children were born in Surinam come from, the Hollis family are in Shoreditch in 1901 & 1911 all born Shoreditch

Hi  Rosie99

Thanks for looking at my last query. I much preferred your research to mine. So I repeated my search.

The result is:-
"Automatically generate story and replace current text for this event.
Birth
GLADYS IRENE Kimpton was born in Suriname to Alice Beatrice Tully and George Victor Kimpton."

This extract appeared in my Ancestry family tree after I copied Gladys Irene Kimpton from GRO. As can be seen the result is different from the one described earlier.

How about this for a computer glitch! Sorry I asked what was obviously a silly question.

Think we can now close this topic.

All the best Benzol
