Gertrude Lunn b 1908
« on: Sunday 08 January 23 13:06 GMT (UK) »
Gertrude Lunn aged 21 married Harry Smith at St Matthias Sheffield 1930. They are on the 1939 Register together at 35 Onslow Rd Sheffield with her DOB as 1st August 1908. Im trying to find her birth record. There is a matching one at Newark but also a death age zero at same time.

You might already have the details but she gives her father as Ernest Lunn a motor driver on the marriage cert.

 Maybe a marriage for Ernest may help.

I think I've found her in the 1911 census with her Lunn grandparents at Worsborough Dale, Barnsley - RG14/27628 sch459. Age 2, born Sheffield.

They can be found in 1901 in Worsborough - RG13/4323 fo129 p12. The household includes a son Ernest (16) and a daughter Gertrude (14), so one of these might be your Gertrude's parent.

In 1911 Gertrude the elder is with Ernest and his wife Emma, and the form appears to show a 2½ year old Gertrude as well, but she has been crossed off and marked 'away' - RG14/27894 sch42.

(I also looked at the 1901 census - RG12/3782 fo35 p2; there were several Lunn families on that page, so you might want to investigate if they were related.)

Next, looking for a birth at FreeBMD, the surname Lunn didn't get anywhere, but with just the forename Gertrude there's a Gertrude Lunn Chapman in Sep qtr 1908 in Sheffield.

I suggest you look at these for yourself to check whether these all fit together. Things to consider might include:
- Gertrude's marriage certificate - what does it say about her father?
- have I found the right birth registration, which may mean buying the certificate, and if so, where does the Chapman name come from?
- what about Ernest's marriage?

(I wrote this while the others were typing so a lot of it has already been covered, but in view of the baptism Comberton has found, you'd also need to investigate the Ernest/Alfred discrepancy.)
Researching among others:
Bartle, Bilton, Bingley, Campbell, Craven, Emmott, Harcourt, Hirst, Kellet(t), Kennedy,
Meaburn, Mennile/Meynell, Metcalf(e), Palliser, Robinson, Rutter, Shipley, Stow, Wilkinson

Apologies to all.
The baptism for Gertrude should have said father Ernest and not Alfred.

Thank you arthurk
