Wow how do you find all this information and so quickly! t's taken me several hours just finding and printing the freeBMD records I had missing.

The Flemming family are closely involved with William but we can't find a family tie. My father has been in touch with Peter Reid - Bertie and Ellen Flemming's son (emailed photos to confirm who the members of his family are) and Carol Skipper - John H Flemming's daughter from a second marriage. I even visited the graves of Walter and Edith Flemming. I was told that William Owen H Flemming emigrated, came home then emigrated again. I think I found a record for him going to Melbourne in 1957. Interesting that he is listed as a missionary in 1939.

My father doesn't think his father got married whilst in the Navy - too complicated he thinks, from his own RAF experiences...However, my father always thought that his dad was Welsh because everyone called him Taffy. I haven't discovered any Welsh family yet!

Thank-you to everyone who has contributed...I'm now going to work my way through all the information you have found for me!

about John Louis Beddington
Name: John Louis Beddington
Probate Date: 23 Jun 1959
Death Date: 13 Apr 1959
Death Place: Oxfordshire, England
Registry: London, England

Beddington John Louis CBE of Little Hampton Place Brampton Oxfordshire died 13 April 1959 at 22 Knightsbridge Court London SW1 probate London 23 June to Olivia Margaret Beddington widow and Carol Beddington Spinster Effects £28408 19s 5d

By the way - I have another (possibly wedding) photo of a couple taken in 1936. The woman looks very like the one in a picture with Veronica, so could be her sister. The man is in a sailor uniform. I found 2 Beddington weddings in 1936; Doreen G to William Keegan and Lillian M to Alfred W Beddis. I found births for both women (mother Popejoy, 1920 and mother Leadbeater 1916) but couldn't find a birth for Veronica by the same mother.

There are no photos of William and Veronica together.

...I wish there were names on the backs of all these photos!

To brummiejan - a little while ago I found a photo of a baby with Janet Ansell on the reverse. From that I managed to find 7 possible children (incl. John Ansell born 1936) of Effie's. When I joined a few days ago I found that a John Ansell also had Effie in his tree. I have messaged him and am eagerly waiting for a reply!

Thanks again for your interest and help.

could this be a connection

Veronica Watkins' death certificate has arrived...I don't understand what's going on!
Firstly, I went to double check my Father's birth certificate yesterday incase it was a copy and the name Beddington had been transcribed wrongly. However, it was the 1936 original and his mother's maiden name clearly looks correct.

Now to the death certificate:
When & where died : Sixteenth February 1938, Grove Park Hospital, Mottingham, Chislehurst and Sidcup RD (*might not be 'RD'*)
Name and surname: Veronica Mullender (otherwise Watkins)
Sex: Female
Age: 85 (* the first number isn't too clear*)
Occupation: of the Fire Station, High Street, Hommerton E9, wife of Alfred Mullender a Lance Corporal 1st Royal West Kent Regiment
Cause of Death: **Pulmonary Tuberculosis Certified by C E Garrod MB (*not sure of letters in the last name*)
Signature, description and residence of informant: W F Watkins present at the death. The Fire Station, High Street, Homerton E9
When registered: Seventeenth February 1938
Signature of registrar: SCG (*?*) Swain Deputy Registrar.

Ideas?

sounds like Veronica was married to Mr Mullender and then they seperated, Veronica then having your father to W F Watkins

just looking to see if I can find anything

Looking at the age, I'm sure it can't be 85. There are two other handwritten '8's on the page and they are clearly different. So possibly the age is 35?

Yes, its clear on that one, she was 25

Still can't find her birth or marriage to Alfred Mullender.

Thank-you! I didn't think to search death records for a Veronica Mullender. I've tried looking for a marriage record for Veronica and Alfred, but can't find anything. I wanted to know Veronica's Maiden name. I've also now messaged everyone one with an Alfred Mullender (of an appropriate age) in their family tree!

I always wondered why my grandfather was left to bring up a baby on his own, without the help of any relatives (only friends). If the baby was from an affair, maybe the family disapproved? My grandfather never re-married, or even married..as it turns out!
