Hi Annamarie - you are definitely correct - something is wrong with Anc. Back in 2010, ordered a death cert. for a death registered 3rd q. 1842 - Whitechapel, London - vol 2 page 407. I got it a couple of weeks later from GRO. At that time I only had a sub. to A.

Now A. has the same chap in their index - Whitechapel, London - vol. 2 page 407. This death ie registered with no image available as -4th q. 1914. The death for 1842 has disappeared from their index.

A slight error - eh?

Hi Colin,
Definitely - yesterday I found another one, again with no image. I feel sorry for new researchers chasing false leads,

Hi Annamarie, I meant to mention, and I could be wrong (especially if records are not what they should be) as far as I know Obedience's maiden name was Luke. She was married to Thomas Deekes (need dates still) he died in 1856. Then she married a second time, this gentleman was Thomas Clayton.

Obedience Jane Luke, spinster of full age, married Thomas DEEKES a cooper, in St John's Church Bethnal Green, on 27th December 1847. Her father was Abraham North Luke, a grocer.

[Annamarie]

Abraham North Luke is interred at Norwood Cemetery. He died on the 19 th August 1872. At the time of his death he lived in Westow St, Upper Norwood. His widow's name was Sarah. His estimated year of birth was 1801.

[Nicolina]

the only Abraham DEEKES I can find on the early Censuses give his birth year as 1793 (1841) and 1791 in Great Oakley (1851).

[Annamarie]

In 1841' Abraham Luke is living in the Parish of Newington, occupation grocer, wife Sarah. Children Jane ((Obedience) b. 1829, Eliza b. 1831, Alfred 1834, Mary 1836, Edwin, 1839. (HO 107/1064/2)

In 1851 (HO 107/1772) Abraham's birthplace is given as Spitalfields. He is a grocer living in Romford Essex with his wife Sarah b 1808 in Hadley Suffolk. They have four children: Mary Ann b. abt 1837, Edwin and Matha
B. 1843 and Lewesa b. 1849.

Ooops!!! I think it might be time to get back into my sick bed - I'm getting confused. I was looking at the DEEKES family.

Sorry to hear you're unwell.

As one who has committed quite a few bloopers of late with no excuse, I'm delighted to finally offer assistance! Hope you feel better soon,
Anna
