Missing birth entry (no baptism either)
Charles Henry Rankin - according to census, born about 1877, parents are Elizabeth Southwood (1856 - ?) and Edward Albert Rankin. (1842 - 1878)
birth place varies from census to census - North Woolwich, South Woolwich, 1881, 1891, and 1901 ALL have him listed as Henry Rankin, and on a photocopied piece of paper that shows him on board a boat as a 'mate' , although he was a boiler makers labourer.....says he was born in Plumstead, Kent, and has his name as H. Rankin.
marriage certificate in 1901, aged 24 ..........under the name of Charles Henry Rankin
1911 census - he has written out the census sheet and listed his name as Charles Henry Rankin, but signed it H. Rankin........
i know for a fact that the Henry i found on 1881, 1891 and 1901 is definitely the right/same person, as on the 1901 census, the address is 74 Mary Street, West Ham....his eldest daughter was born at this address in 1902.....
Unable to find birth of baptism for this ancestor or his younger sibling, Frederick (listed as George. F. Rankin on 1881 census).....his 3 older siblings WERE all registered and baptised.....have these entries
Elizabeth Phyllis Rankin, (known as Phyllis) born 1902 in West Ham, daughter of Charles Henry Rankin and Ellen Lowe. Estranged from her parents and siblings, to be 'adoped' by and live with her grandmother's (Elizabeth Rankin nee Southwood) sister, Mary Ann Dummer (1851 - 1917) nee Southwood.....
Elizabeth occasionally visited her siblings and they all knew Phyllis was their sister, no one had any idea why she was 'adopted' out.
Phyllis married Maurice Hewson Wilkinson, in 1928 ....she was 26 and he was 51.....he died in Hastings, 1948 anged 71.......
Cannot find a death entry for Phyllis anywhere.....
i need some help....would be forever greatful if someone could find these, have been searching so long.....found 3 or 4 death entries for what i thought was Phyllis, but on receiving certificates, they aren't the right ones.....cannot find a re-marriage for her either or any children....
