Going to order the cert;
Coincidence??
There is an Edith M Blacklock - Married a Sinclaire in March 1913; Which could be mistaken for St Clair...

RE my previous post it was a Dame Clara Butt?

Just another q
If the 1911 census is her then she was 23,
1901 census 13 (a possilbe match)
Which should make the 1891 aged 3 - she is listed as aged 7??

I wouldn't worry too much about ages on the census - some of my lot gained a lot less than 10 years between some census. I dond't think some of them had any idea how old they were.

Well, it certainly looks as if safc has the correct one but father's name is William.

Yes, it does look as if safc has found the correct one. However the date given is the baptism date and Edith could have been any age when she was baptised, so it doesn't help with finding the right birth - especially as the GRO will not now do checking points.

I think you have to buy the marriage certificate to get her father's name.

Thanks all; it's really appreciated.

SAFC - where will I find that record? I have checked Anc and there is nothing there for that volume.
