Thread: Please Help me find living relatives

I am trying to assist my Father in locating any living relatives. Peter Norman Franklin was born at the Salvation Army's Mothers' Hospital in Clapton, in Hackney on February 19th 1928 and has just turned 79. His mother was Lilian Gertrude Franklin, an

Outfitters Assistant. She had worked as a shop assistant in Lambeth, residing in 1928 at 26, Camden Road in Peckham .

No fathers name is stated, although I have been led to believe he was a tailor, possibly named Joseph N Wheatly (or Wheatley), of 1 Grove Lane, Camberwell.



Lilian Gertrude Franklin was an illegitimate child herself, born in Camberwell /Peckham on the 12th of May, 1904 naming Agnes Gertrude Franklin as her mother, residing at that time at 42 , Kirkwood Road , Peckham .



Agnes Gertrude Franklin went on to marry Hertbert Hester in 1907 in the District of Camberwell ,



Lilian Gertrude Franklin went on marry Charles Arthur Hall in All Saint’s Church in Peckham South London , Camberwell on the 31st of August 1931, both residing at 5a /59 Willowbrook Road at that time .



Could you please Help me to find my dad's litle brother ???? Philip Charles Hall born on 20th April 1931....please help me to find any information ....



My Fathers name was Peter Norman Franklin and he was adopted on the 15th of April 1931 from Hutchinson House , (F.B. Meyers Established )

Orphanage moving to Heaton Norris in Stockport , following a newspaper appeal to re-home him and became Peter Norman Smith .



Only the 1901 census information is available and there is uncertainty regarding the original records,as to whether they have been retained or destroyed due to the amount of time elapsed.

My father remembers an intense argument prior to his placement at the Childrens home.



My father has overcome the feelings of abandonment and has now become curious to learn more about his heritage, and would like something positive to relay to his family, Wife, Daughter and four grandchildren, which will subsequently eradicate the negativity, he commenced his life with.



we have most of the certificates BMD but i could not find anything related to the death of lilian Gertude Franklin dad's mum and i only have the birth certificate of dad's brother Philip Charles hall

Could you please Help me to find my dad's litle brother ???? Philip Charles Hall born on 20th April 1931....please help me to find any information ....

Please can anyone assist ?

Thank you, we would be extremely grateful, in anticipation of a response !

Thank you ,

To anyone else checking this thread out, I am checking for the marriage of Philip Charles between 1950 - 1960 so that there is no doubling up on searches.



Nanna

Right have checked 1950 - 1960 for a marriage re Philip Charles(C) Hall, and came up with two of them as follows:



Philip C Hall and Betty Taylor March Qtr 1951 Holderness 2A 111

Philip C Hall and Joan I.M Phipps June Qtr 1953 Bath 7C 38

unfortunately neither of which are near Camberwell or Stockport.



I also checked Lancashire BM & D's and found the following

Philip C Hall marr Beryl Dunn at Hollinwood, St.Margaret

P.R.O Ref Sept Qtr 1974 Oldham 39 - 0074

which is near to Stockport.



Anyone willing to check further? I will try and find the death registration of Lilian Gertrude Hall nee Franklin tomorrow with a fresh pair of eyes.



Nanna

II'll check further for Philip's marriage.

It looks as if Herbert Hester & Agnes Gertrude may have had further children -

Birth Herbert Henry Hester Camberwell 1d 910 June 1908

Minnie S Hester Camberwell 1d 849 March 1911

Thomas E Hester Camberwell 1d 875 March 1911
