Find Ancestors

I am looking for information regarding Edith Kitchin born in L ondon in 1906 and her brother William born 1912 Have found Edith on 1911 census and I know she married a Fred Kirby and had a son Lawrence who died in 1980s.
William married Jenny and had a daughter Maureen.

Hi,What information are you looking for ?

Cass

Well when they died really.

I dont know anything about them My Late Grandad had little to do with his family and even said his father was dead on his marrage cert.in 1927.
A big fib his father is buried a five min walk from his house and died in 1948!

It would be nice to know if they stayed in London.

It is difficult with census only going up to 1911 and all family members who might have remembered are dead.
Thanks for reply
Teresa

Thankyou.
It is so sad about William.

he died just after my daughter was born.

My parents had me late in life hence having ancestors from early 1900s.

Thankyou for your help.

Teresa

Sorry didnt make myself clear.

My grandparents Arthur and Charlotte married in 1927

Teresa

Is there anything else that you are looking for?

Just wondered if William ever married?

My late mother said that william was in the Navy in 2nd World War however it is hard to know what is true or false
with anything she told me. I have not unearthed any skeletons in the cupboard yet and she was hiding something

.

Sorry I'm getting a bit confused ..... I thought you said that William married Jenny?

yes thats what my mum said.

She said she was a court dressmaker.

Teresa

Sorry can't find a marriage for a William Kitchin to a Jenny ..... but Jenny could be a middle name

Ok thanks for your help.
As I may have mentioned before nothing that I have been told about our family is as it seems!
