Im trying to locate a death record for Richard Norman and Rose E Potter, both living in West Ham (under either Essex or Middlesex County). I have searched all the free BMD's but have had no luck. I know they were alive upto 1932 and i assume that Rose was alive longer as this was when she had her last child. I thank you in advance for any help and hopefully this will help conclude some of my Norman/Potter saga!!! Thanks Ann

Yes they were Married to each in the 3rd Quarter of 1913 in West Ham, We think that richards DOB was c1888 and Rose DOB c1893 we are not sure of the specfic dates as the only source of information we have is our mother and she is not quite all there unfortunatly when it comes to remebering the family tree. I do know that my grandad who is the son of the above was born in 1922 and they grew up in canning town area of east london

You wont find the death in the freeBMD´s - not transcribed yet! You will have to search the complete images on Ancestry http://www.ancestry(.)co(.)uk/search/rectype/vital/freebmd/bmd.aspx Unless you know roughly where and when this will be very time consuming as you have to search quarter by quarter, year by year.

Could this be Richard's death record ? Richard Norman Estimated Birth Year: abt 1895 Year of Registration: 1897 Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar Age at death: 2 District: West Ham County: Essex, Greater London Volume: 4a Page: 72 (click to see others on page West Ham area, but would mean married at about 18 years old. Maybe born later than 1888 ? Debbie O'
