Sorry, just noted that you did not ask for census records.

Hi Pam



OK, so there are at least 3 possible death dates for Emma Ray



1869 Camberwell

1899 Whitechapel

1884 Lambeth



Do you already have information for which is yours?

Hi Pam, You could try this site. Bethnal Green, c. 1835 * (Emma Gaitt & Family)

Thank you Geniegenie & noggin28 for your very prompt responses:



Firstly, I DO have the BMD references of these people and am now trying to fill in the other details so that I can dive further back into their past histories.



I’m sure that the Parish Records of Baptisms, Church Marriages & Burials will confirm my deductions but, even if they prove me wrong, they will prevent me straying along useless byways.



I hope that these records will show exact dates, names of the Parish Churches with the Ministers, Fathers’ names, Mothers’ Maiden names, ages, addresses and Witnesses and / or Informants.



Secondly, I am just about to try your suggestion of http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.....htm#PageTitle but wanted to send an appreciative acknowledgement first.



Thirdly, all the dates I offered relate to the approximate dates of birth, as obtained from the various censuses.



Thanks again – I’ll let you know how I get on.

Pam

Just to let you know, http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.....htm#PageTitle is currently out of action for website maintenance - I'll try again next week.
