Walter William Speed
« on: Thursday 18 May 23 16:38 BST (UK) »
Walter Speed married Annabella Sanderson in 1900 and in 1911 they were living in Histon Cambridge.

They had five children, Winifred, Grace, Harold, Ida and Primrose.

Can anyone see what happened to Primrose?

Yes, I found them all. Grace died 1925, Walter was living 30 George St Cambridge with Annabella , Winifred and Ida.
Winifred, Ida and Harold all married in Cambridge .... just Primrose to find.

Primrose was baptised 25 May 1913. The transcript of her baptism does not identify date of birth other than ? ? 1913.
There is a death registration of a Primrose Violet E Chivers, Cambridge, Jun Qtr 2000 - date of birth 19 April 1913.

On the 1939 register it appears that Primrose is using her 2nd given name and DoB matches 2000 death registration.

Thank you and well done. I found the entry ... listed as "Sheed" and FindMyPast didn't find it.

Chivers is a local Histon name (chivers Jam), but I'm not sure if Robert is related to them. I'll check.

THanks again
