Find Ancestors

Hi there,

can anyone help me find the birth record of Leonard Friday bn about 1907 in Gillingham,Kent according to the 1911 census. He was the son of Henry Alfred Friday and Mary Jane Barton.
If the dob in the census is correct he must have been born early in 1907 as his father died in the 3rd qtr of 1906.

Many thanks
Sue

Sorry, can't find one to match your info. This is about the closest I can find :-((

Name: Leonard John Friday
Year of Registration: 1909
Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep
District: Lambeth
County: Greater London, London, Surrey
Volume: 1d
Page: 432

Thanks for looking anyway.

He is proving to be something of a problem. If it wasn't for the 1911 census listing him as a son and another family member listing him in their tree (although I do wonder if he has just copied the list of children straight from the census page as he has no other info about any of the family and not just Leonard) I would doubt his existence.

I am having problems with FMP which wont allow to view the 1911 census right now............


??
Births Mar 1890 (>99%)
Friday Leonard George Strood 2a 542
The district Strood is an alternative name for Strood and it is in the county of Kent.

I know....I am having the same problem with FMP.

All of his siblings who were born in Gillingham come under the Medway reg dist. He is the youngest of four and have had no problem finding them.

Yeah FMP is down at the moment

jax

They married in medway and last child in 1912 was born there so would think any others were born there too

Births Mar 1908 (>99%)??? Maybe to late and there are Fridd's

Frid Leonard Alexander Medway 2a 767

Jax,

Only problem with the last child being born in 1912 is that Henry is supposed to have died in 1906.Everyone insists on listing him as part of the family but goodness knows who his real father is.

By the way the info on the Calkin family went down very well.

Hi K,

That is the one that keeps coming up.Thought it might have been a transcription error but have found a death for the same name.

Sue

I am glad about that Sue

wish we could see the 1911...aghhhh hopefully be back soon

I know.....most frustrating...

FMP's back:

COUCHMAN, William Head Married M 37 1874 Engine Fitter Sevenoaks Kent
COUCHMAN, Albert Son M 0 (10 MONTHS) 1911 Gillingham Kent
FRIDAY, Mary Housekeeper Widow F 32 1879 Housekeeper Whitstable Kent
FRIDAY, Henry Son M 13 1898 Gillingham Kent
FRIDAY, William Son M 10 1901 School Gillingham Kent
FRIDAY, Alfred Son M 5 1906 Gillingham Kent
FRIDAY, Leonard Son M 4 1907 Gillingham Kent

Registration District: Medway Sub District: Gillingham Enumeration District: 5 Parish: Gillingham

Address: 28 Springfield Road Gillingham Kent County: Kent

This is the only evidence that he ever existed.All the others are accounted for including the immaculate conception that took place in 1912......6yrs after his father's death. Even Leonard looks dodgy having supposedly been born the year after his father died.

I've been browsing Cityark site.

Not found Leonard yet, but have found a baptism at St Mary Magdalene, Gillingham on10 October 1906 ( born 4 Sept ) of a Francis Herbert FRIDAY, with parents shown as Henry Alfred and Mary Jane.
In the other columns it says he was a labourer ( deceased)
Address 50 Pier Road

Gwyn

Could he have been registered in his mother's name? No checked - no sign

Hi Gwyn,

Welcome to the search. We have Henry Alfred dying sometime in the 3rd qtr of 1906. If Francis Herbert was born in Sept 1906 there is no way he could have fathered a child bn in 1907 is there?

Births Dec 1906 (>99%)

Friday Francis Herbert Medway 2a 727

only one that would fit too

K,

Have had a quick look under Barton (mmn) but can't see anything that looks likely at the moment.

I know...it's the only one it could possibly be and Gwyn found a baptism record and the parents names are the same but how the heck do you get from Francis Herbert to Leonard ?????
