So sorry to hear about Julie RIP

Was it quite usual for Victorian families to name a child after a deceased sibling, as I suspect this may have been a child to John & Fanny

Mark Adams Hambly b Q3 1877 d Q4 1878 aged 1

I can't assume without certs I know

ArgyllGran Report 16 Jan 2015 16:04

Yes, families very commonly did name a child after an earlier deceased child. So many died in infancy.

There are many instances in my own tree.

Thanks Claire. He may have been in Canada at some stage but he married 1922 in Denver and had at least 2 children as I mentioned earlier.

That does look like Susanna, thanks ArgyllGran.

Why would she state she had no relations in the UK when she had a huge UK family?

Travelman -
DOB on death record would depend on how accurate the info given by the informant was.

Travelman Report 18 Jan 2015 16:46

Thanks for your excellent detective work again ArgyllGran. If I'm correct you have 6 weeks to register a birth therefore if she was born 31May 1880 a Q3 registration would fit.
