From tree just info unchecked

Father Dr Frederick James Fletcher
BIRTH 14 FEB 1899 • England
DEATH 4 JAN 1993 • Sleights Whitby

Doris Whitworth
BIRTH ABT 1899 • Middlesbro, Yorkshire, England
DEATH JUL 1966 • Worth Valley, Yorkshire West Riding


Apparently Edith's father was a Dr during WWII.


The information she has is wrong. Dr Frederick James Fletcher is in my FT and is correct, he married Doris Nettleton. I let her know


Any information at all on when Edith's father became a Doctor?

For info.....

Frederick James Fletcher born 14 Feb 1899 mentioned above has a different occupation in 1921/1939, which I assume fletch001 has informed her about.

May have noting to do with the Fletcher she/you are looking for but there is a Frederick Fletcher
age 15 born London  on 1911 census occ house boy
In column headed industry or service with which connected 
faintly written in pencil doctor and in green pen 431

1911c occupation code 431
Physicians, Surgeons, Registered Practitioners

This Frederick Fletcher on 1901 census with his family living 27, Grinstead Road, St Paul Deptford, Greenwich, London & Kent

Herbert   Fletcher   1862   Stage carpenter   Wolverhampton, Staffordshire
Edith   Fletcher             1874   Twickenham, Middlesex
Herbert   Fletcher   1895      Strand, Middlesex
Harry   Fletcher   1895      Strand, Middlesex
Frederick Fletcher   1896      Strand, Middlesex

Herbert James Fletcher, stage carpenter married Edith Gertrude Quinlan on 24th July 1892

Herbert Edwin & Harry Alfred were baptised on same day 1 May 1894 All Saints, Battersea, Wandsworth Father Herbert James Fletcher, carpenter Mother Edith Gertrude
looks as if they are twins both births registered Strand 1b   624    

Couldn't find a baptism for Frederick but his middle name is Arthur  ???
GRO indexes mmn Quinlan S 1895 Strand he served in WW1 Year 1914, age 18 born London Occ Picture Painter Regiment Royal Army Service Corps
Next of Kin mother Edith, Older brothers Herbert & Harry
Record set British Army Service Records

He married on 8 Oct 1921 at St Peter, Battersea: Plough Road, Wandsworth
Spouse Florence Maud Hartwell. He died 8 Aug 1966 London Probate 21 Sep 1966 to widow Florence Maud

It looks as if he can be ruled out due to his middle name and I can't see a daughter named Edith Ann born to this couple, his occupation in 1921/1939 is not a Doctor???

Edith was a nurse


Have you tried searching the 1939 register for an Edith Fletcher or Edith Annie Fletcher occ nurse to see if there is a match?

Good morning All,
Sorry for the slight delay in my reply, the lady i was helping in the USA has now deleted her FT which was mostly wrong but with your help she has the correct people she was trying to find.

Unfortunately, these things happened during WW II but i know that Edith took the twins to see their father over in Canada and their father passed on the information about the twins to his family in Canada and Edith was in contact with the family in Canada until she passed away.

The Dr Fletcher was the one in my FT, which is the wrong one for the lady in the USA, this is why i contacted her to say she had the wrong people in her FT. I agreed to help her find the correct people, but she has now deleted her FT regarding the Fletcher's.

I will close this one down in a couple of days and will delete if i can, just to protect various family just in case they do not know about this.

Thank you all for your help
Kind Regards
Mike
