Hello my name is Sam & I am from Australia & currently researching the Dodd family of Kensington.
I have exhausted all my resources looking for further documents online for my ancestors as I cannot find any new leads. I came across a Baptism Certificate for one of the children from Westminster, St Mary's, Kensington but cannot find any for the other children & was wondering if anybody could further search this for me for the other children or point me in the direction I can further research.
The children's names are:
Clara Matilda Dodd B:26 March 1882 D:29 July 1882
Louis Harold Dodd B:20 July 1885 D:9 May 1969 (Spelling also found as Lewis on 1911 census)
Elizabeth Mabel Dodd B: 20 Jan 1889 D: unknown already have this Baptism Certificate (Listed as Bessie in 1891 census)
Gerald Harcourt Dodd B:24 June 1893 D:8 Oct 1973 (Spelling also found as Gerrold on 1911 census)
Parents are listed on all birth certificates & Elizabeths Baptism as Thomas Dodd (B: unknown) & Mary McMillan (B: 1856 in Ireland) - I cannot find any marriage details for these two & Thomas is never in any of the census records with the family. I have & the 1891 & 1901 census listing Mary as a widow but I believe Thomas was still alive until at least 1908, as he is listed on Louis marriage certificate. On Geralds marriage certificate in 1916 Thomas is listed but as deceased.
Thomas is listed as a soldier/ pensioned soldier & carpenter journeyman on the birth certificates but I cannot find any further documents with this info.
I do have another post with further details on the family here
