Lewis Joseph

Trying to trace any relatives who may have info re my grandfather Lewis (louis) Joseph White, born Broad Lane Tottenham 1st/9th Sept 1910.
The confusion re dates and spellings arise from Lewis being put into a childrens home with one of his siblings following the death of their mother in childbirth.
The info i do have and know to be correct is that he was born at home, Broad Lane in Sept 1910. He had an older brother Nobby (no idea what that may be a nickname for) and younger twin brothers Harry and Jack. The family continued to live in North London, and sometime after the birth of the twin boys the mother, Florence (Mills) died in childbirth, the child a girl died also. The father unable to cope with 4 children placed the elder two, Lewis and Nobby into a childrens home where they were to remain untill adults.
Lewis married my grandmother Nellie Tickridge 8th Jan 1939, they had 4 children.
He died in Essex in 1981.
Anybody that thinks they may be related to Lewis or any of the brothers in any way or has any info at all re the family please help!

If you want to buy a BMD cert,heres how and here
is the addy where you can buy it online... (copy n paste the following...)

http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/


Never pay more than £7
For a marriage,you only need
put one partners name when ordering.

If you are ordering online from the GRO,
make sure that when the form asks
"Is the full GRO reference known?"
that you tick the 'yes' box.
