Find Ancestors

I have the birth certificate for this relative, however, can find no further record of any kind for this gentleman. The only history I have is that he ran away aged 16 and joined the army, had a child with someone called Molly Maud maybe and died in Brighton. Any help would be gratefully recieved! :-)

Hello Judy - do you know when he died?

His death certificate may give some info as to who registered it.

sorry , I know nothing more about him at all......the facts above are as much as I know I am afraid......

Where have you got this info from?

Here he is 1911:

Unfortunately Southend is not Brighton.

well thats fabulous! I only wished I had asked before! the Brighton bit was only family oral history so quite possibly wrong! the only hard fact I have is his birth certificate, as shown by brummie jan. thankyou, any other tips would be fantastic!

Did I put his birth cert? 1911 and poss. death cert only!!

thankyou so much, I am sure it will be him.....is there any way I can access any probate records for further info?

Not sure about that, but I looked for them on Ancestry trees, finding one which appears to be closed. This is given as their parents, bizarrely (no spouse for Edward)

Name: Julia Brett
Birth: 1909 - Bow, London, England
Marriage: 1926 - Cambridgeshire, England
Parents: Edward Alfred Algar Slomowski, Sarah Everett
Spouse: George E Allen

Fits this but seems rather odd!!

Marriages Mar 1908
EVERETT Sarah Stepney 1c 396
SLOMOWSKI Edward Stepney 1c 396

It's the right family brummiejan.
Edward Brett was born to Edward Alfred Agar Slomowski and Sarah Everett

Edward AA Slomowski was the son of Edward Slomowski and Rose BRETT....hence that's where they name change came from

Edward Slomowski born about 1864 in London was the son of Siegismond Slomowski born about 1838 in Germany


By 1891 Rose Slomowski is a 23 year old widow but her son isn't with her

I see! Anyway, I suspect probate records can't be obtained so recently, at least not online. I would suggest getting the death cert really.

thankyou for all your time and trouble. I already know about the Slomowski/Brett history, however I am keen to trace this more recent Brett side of the family as they are the only remaining branch of the Slomowski dynasty. All other siblings of Julia having a different father. Thankyou very much,
