Hi wiccaman.

Britannia Schooling born Dec quarter 1881 West Ham 4a 105. If you ordered the cert from the GRO then this will tell you who Britannia's parents are.

Britannia married Ernest Charles Bristow September quarter 1899 Dartford 2a 1123.


1911 census - Bell Lane Ditton Maidstone Kent

Ernest Charles Bristow age 30 cement labourer born Dartford Kent
Britannia age 28 married 12 years 5 kids born and all survived born Canning Town.
Ernest William age 10 born Dartford Kent.

A copy of the marriage certificate would give her father's name and occupation and should help you to trace the family in the census

Thanks for that info Craig...im still unable to find her on any other census....her parents are a mystery still......Yes Elaine looks like i will need to get the certificate...thank you

[cpdavis35]

Just done a google search, seems like this is a popular thread.... the birth cert was apparently got but no details were listed on the thread when it was apparently got.

Would that be on another forum or this one cpdavis35 ? There was a family saying that she was uncle bills girl.So whether her dads name was William or not i just dont know

There is a few trees on ancestry that have listed Britannia's parents as William Schooling and Rose Hedges.

Here is the link to the 1881 for them:

yes on another forum wiccaman. had details on william schooling and rose hedges too that they are possible parents to britannia however they also said they can't find a marriage for them and it seems a mystery about the kids listed with them on the census before finding britannia on 1911.

Britannia isn't on any of the census records with William and Rose.

[wiccaman]

Thanks Craig shame there is not more to prove it

[wiccaman]

As i thought kelly no direct link,just still speculation.Thank you

[wiccaman]

Thanks Elaine will do

[cpdavis35]

wiccaman the link i mentioned is here.. Roots Chat... . It's a shame they didn't say what was on the birth certificate and info on the possible parents. It's a mystery why britannia is not on the censuses after she was born? I guess without the birth cert or info from the cert we can't be sure of any info.

I wish that person on roots chat would post again thanks Craig

In 1881 the children are only listed as visitors though under the name of Hedges, and Rose Hedges as the housekeeper. In 1891 they same children are listed as Schooling daughters and Rose Schooling as the wife.

yeah, the post is locked now so can't hit the reply button to ask what the info was... i guess it's good that others are looking for her too with the amount of threads in different geneology forums asking the same things as most of the questions have all been answered and posted to the respective forums.
