In your OP you've put wife's DC named him as Frederick Alfred, but your second post says Frederick William ??

Sorry it is Frederick William on wife's death cert and Frederick Alfred on first child Rosina's birth cert.
The 1939 register for Frederick Richetts is the right one and interesting that the day and month of his birth is the same as death cert but 3 years earlier

Nicola ...........

not uncommon to find different birth years, as I'm sure you have been told before.

People lied about their age, others may have taken a guess.

But one thing usually stays constant with those that lie ...... the date and month rarely change, it is the year they change.


My grandfather being the exception ........... he changed date, month AND year! :-D

Just to note- it is only the day that matches on his death certificate and the 1939 register.

Death cert says born Feb, 1939 register states September.

But it is is only the day that matches. Both month and year are different

I have searched all variations of Frederick and his other names to find a birth record but no trace of anything like it, will look at mum's birth and marriage cert tomorrow to see if there is anything different about his name or birth. Spoke to mum today and at 85 she is on the ball and Frederick Alfred rings a bell but not Camden as her father's birth place. Cricklewood is the only place she remembers as far Frederick's family living, it is same area of London but further out. She is sure he had sister's too.

On Fred's marriage cert - is there any way that his father's occupation could read 'PORTER' please?

Dea x

EDIT - AAArrrgghh!!! - I remember now - you sent me a copy of that marriage cert (although I looked to see if I still had it but unfortunately not ! :-( ) anyway I do remember that it was the most disgraceful handwriting I have ever seen so it is impossible to be sure of anything on there for certain..

I see at the beginning of your 1st thread you mention Frederick, Florence and George as siblings - are they still relevant or have they been dismissed?

If they are still relevant, could you please give more detaiil of where you have them from please?
