My knowledge of London/England is from maps. I have posted this same cry for help on the Surrey site I'm not trying to jam the system just didn't know where my cry would be loudest. I'm really needing some help Please!
I've looked through LDS, Free BDM and Ancestry Uk. Now unless I'm completely daft I can't find this family. Can't find them on 1861 census either. Here's what I have been given - none of this can I verify
Fanny Frederica Rosina WILLIAMS born 13 May 1846 Newington, Surrey to George WILLIAMS and Fanny ???? maybe PETTINGALL. Fanny Frederica Rosina was baptised 1849 at St Mary's Newington, Surrey(from my multimap and Middelsex map this is south of London - south of the Thames?)
George was born abt 1815 and married abt 1840 to Fanny PETTINGALL who was born abt 1820.
George was in the Army and they lived at Berkley Street, Grosvenor Square, London at the time of Fanny Frederica Rosina's baptism(from my multimap and Middelsex map this is North West of London - North of the Thames? Well Grosvenor Sq is I don't find Berkley St) Lived on the North side but travelled to south side to baptize child?
At the time of Fanny Frederica Rosina's marriage in 1865 the family was in New Zealand. If they were just visiting for the marriage or if they lived there I haven't been able to find out.
I have the marriage certificate for Fanny Frederica Rosina WILLIAMS to Edmund Lewis ROGERS in Invercargill New Zealand in 1865. It has her age as 19 that would make her birthdate 1846. One of the witnesses is either Elisa or Elvira PETTINGALL.
I also have her baptism certificate. On that it gives her birth date as 13 or maybe 15th May 1844 or 1846.
The baptism and marriage certificates both have her names as Fanny, Frederica Rosina WILLIAMS and that of her mother is also just Fanny.
Ancestry and free BDM have possible matches .... but the Frances name worries me.
LDS also has a Frances WILLIAMS but born 24 May 1844. St Marylebone (would that tie in with the Grosvenor Sq address?)
The marriage cert copy I have is very clear but ber baptism cert isn't. I think I found possible matches for the 1846 birthdate as well.
I suppose the way to go would be to buy the birth cert but as there are a couple of possibilities I was hoping some-one would have a cheaper solution.
Help please!!!
