Martin Genealogy Blog

I have a birth certificate for a Charles Martin:

• Born on 16 November at the Hospital, York Road, Lambeth
• Father: William Martin (another one!!), servant
• Mother: Harriot (Harriet? - unclear handwriting) Martin, nee Foster
• Registration District: Lambeth
• Subdistrict: Waterloo Second Part, Surrey
• Date registered: 23 November 1846

This date and place of birth matches the 1901 census, but the 1891 census gives POB as Hackney and DOB as 1846 and the 1881 gives Lambeth, again in 1846.

However I am more convinced by the marriage certificate of Charles Frederick MARTIN to Emma RICHARDSON, 11 July 1971. This gives Charles’ father as Frederick MARTIN. At the time of the wedding Charles and Emily(Emma) lived at 9 Thomas Street, Lambeth, which is where their 1st daughter, Emma, was born in October the same year.

So I still need Charles’ birth certificate showing his father as Frederick MARTIN.
