Frederick Tyrrill Westbrook-b Croydon abt1887

[forestlea65]

I'm looking for my wife's grandfather Frederick Tyrill Westbrook who was born abt 1887 in Sutton, Near Croydon. I believe that his father was Tyrell (Tyrill) Westbrook and his mother Mary Ann (maiden name unknown). In the 1911 census Frederick Tyrill Westbrook was living near Epsom where he worked in a mental hospital. He married Edith Fincham abt 1908/9

Thanks for any help

Hi there,

The birth certificate should provide Frederick's mother's maiden name:

June quarter, 1888, Epsom District, volume 2a, page 8

Actually recorded with all 3 names: Frederick Tyrill WESTBROOK

Frederick's christening...

name: Frederick Tyrrell Westbrook
gender: Male
baptism/christening date: 03 Jun 1888
baptism/christening place: Sutton (near Croydon), Surrey, England
father's name: Tyrrell Westbrook
mother's name: Mary Ann Westbrook
(from family search)

The marriage certificate will give you the name of Tyrell's father which I believe will be Frederick bearing in mind that it was the name given to your wife's grandfather. The name Joseph will probably remain a mystery unless it later shows that this was a middle name.

Marriage of the Frederick's parents?

groom's birth date: 1869
groom's age: 19
bride's name: Mary Ann Hewitt
bride's birth date: 1862

bride's father's name: Richard Hewitt
groom's marital status: Single

record title: England Marriages, 1538–1973

There are 2 possible marriages on FreeBMD

Westbrook Frederick Sep qtr 1856 Alton (Hants) vol 2c page 237
Only other person on same page was Sarah Triggs

Westbrook Frederick Sep qtr 1863 Alton vol 2c page 249
Only other person on page was Sarah Gates

It's interesting that Frederick's daughter Elizabeth appears to be using another surname in 1911.

1911: RG14/2929 SN94

In 1861 there is an Elizabeth Gates at RG9/704 f122 p18
She seems a little young to be the daughter of William & Sarah Gates as enumerated, could she be the daughter of Sarah jnr later to become Elizabeth Westbrook ?

Thanks Jan and Graham for your help. The information that you both sent will be of enormous help in my research of the Westbrook line. Greatly appreciated.

Thanks Olliecat. I'm amazed! Where did you find the marriage details is there a local site that has parish records?

Thanks again Terry
