For Herbert Charles (1855–1856)

"Herbert Charles 1856 Mar Rugby vol 6d p.219"

GRO death index row, fields in the order the search returns them: Name, Quarter, Registration district, Volume and page. Retrieved 2026-08-29 by a deaths search on surname Charles, given name Herbert, 1855-1857, which returns this row alone for England and Wales. Death index rows carry no age before 1866, so the row cannot itself show that this was an infant. Rugby is the district in which Sarah Ann Charles was registered in March 1849 and John Edward Charles in December 1850.

For John Ferrell Burton (1845–1884)

John BURTON | 1884 Sep | 40 | Brighton | vol 2b p.147

GRO death index row, values in the source's own column order: Name | registration quarter | Age at death | registration district | GRO volume and page. This is the only John Burton death registered at Brighton in 1884, and the probate grant above fixes the death at Brighton on 16 August 1884, inside the July-September quarter. The indexed age 40 is a year high for a birth in the March quarter of 1845; nothing on the record was changed on account of it.

England & Wales, FreeBMD Index of Births, Marriages and Deaths · General Register Office (via FreeBMD) · 1837–1992

For John Ferrell Burton (1845–1884)

John Burton | 1845 Mar | Sheppey | vol 5 p.474

GRO birth index row: Name | registration quarter | registration district | GRO volume and page. Mother's maiden name is not indexed before Sep 1911, so the row carries no direct link to Aaron Burton and Anne Ferrell; it is cited at quality 2 as indirect evidence. It is the only John Burton birth registered in Sheppey district between 1844 and 1846, it matches the March 1845 birth already on this record, and the parents married in Faversham district in the December quarter of 1844 and are enumerated at Minster in Sheppey in 1851. On that basis the birth place is moved from place #4803 "Minster, Kent" (which is geocoded to Minster-in-Thanet, on the far side of the county) to place #4804 "Minster in Sheppey, Kent", the parish where the family is actually recorded.

For Susan Lindon (1852–1935)

Susan Littleboy | 1935 Jun | 85 | Faversham | vol 2a p.1299

GRO death index row, values in the source's own column order: Name | registration quarter | Age at death | registration district | GRO volume and page. Matches the JUN 1935 Faversham death already on this record, under her second married surname; it is the only Susan Littleboy death registered in England and Wales in 1934-1936. The indexed age 85 implies a birth about 1849-50 where this record has ABT 1852; the record already carries an approximate birth year and nothing was changed.

For Georg Josef August Kretschmann (1902–1969)

George J C Kretschmann | 1902 Sep | Pancras | vol 1b p.51

FreeBMD England & Wales birth index. Matches tree birthDate 'SEP 1902' and birthplace England; middle initials abbreviated 'J C' in the index.

England & Wales, FreeBMD Index of Births, Marriages and Deaths · General Register Office (via FreeBMD) · 1837–1992

For Aaron Burton (1819–1894)

Aaron Burton | 1894 Mar | 74 | Sheppey | vol 2a p.625

GRO death index row, values in the source's own column order: Name | registration quarter | Age at death | registration district | GRO volume and page. The only Aaron Burton death registered in England and Wales between 1893 and 1895. Age 74 in the January-March quarter of 1894 implies a birth between early 1819 and early 1820, agreeing with the baptism of 23 July 1819.

England & Wales, FreeBMD Index of Births, Marriages and Deaths · General Register Office (via FreeBMD) · 1837–1992

For Anne Ferrell (1821–1859)

Ann Burton | 1859 Mar | Sheppey | vol 2a p.430

GRO death index row: Name | registration quarter | registration district | GRO volume and page. Death index entries carry no age before 1866, so this row has no discriminator beyond name, quarter and district. It is the only Ann Burton death registered at Sheppey between 1858 and 1861, and it matches the MAR 1859 Sheppey death already on this record. Recorded at quality 2 rather than 3 because the tree also holds a daughter, Ann Burton #37854, with no birth date and an identical MAR 1859 Sheppey death: one index row cannot support both, and #37854 may be a phantom created from this very row when the tree was compiled. Nothing was changed on either record.

England & Wales, FreeBMD Index of Births, Marriages and Deaths · General Register Office (via FreeBMD) · 1837–1992

For Alfred George Reid (1901–1940)

Alfred George Reid | 1901 Sep | Dover | vol 2a p.1095

FreeBMD birth index; full given name "Alfred George" + surname Reid, 1900-1902 window, sole matching row. District matches his tree birthplace and his parents' home district.

England & Wales, FreeBMD Index of Births, Marriages and Deaths District Dover · Volume 2a · Page 3192 · Year 1940 Primary

England & Wales, FreeBMD Index of Births, Marriages and Deaths · General Register Office (via FreeBMD) · 1837–1992

For Alfred George Reid (1901–1940)

Alfred G Reid | 1940 Sep | 38 | Dover | vol 2a p.3192

FreeBMD death index. Positive control: exact-name search "Alfred George Reid" 1939-1941 returned nil; broadened search (given Alfred + surname Reid, same window) returned 4 national rows, of which only this Dover row matches. Age 38 is one year short of the 39 a Sep 1901 birth implies for a Sep 1940 death -- a common GRO quarterly off-by-one, not a contradiction. Place (registration district only, not a specific death place) deliberately not set as deathPlaceId; "Dover, Kent, England" (id 416) already used elsewhere in this cluster is noted for a human.

England & Wales, FreeBMD Index of Births, Marriages and Deaths · General Register Office (via FreeBMD) · 1837–1992

For Alfred George Reid (1901–1940)

Alfred G Reid | 1940 Sep | 38 | Dover | vol 2a p.3192

GRO death index row: Name | reg quarter | age | district | vol/page. First citation of any kind for this person. Middle initial 'G' matches 'George'; district Dover matches his own birthplace exactly; age 38 is consistent with birth year 1901.

England & Wales, FreeBMD Index of Births, Marriages and Deaths District PLYMOUTH · Volume 7A · Page 1010 · Year 1963 · Quarter 1963 Mar · Age 74 Primary

England & Wales, FreeBMD Index of Births, Marriages and Deaths · General Register Office (via FreeBMD) · 1837–1992

For Edith Netherton (1889–1963)

EDITH MAPLE | 1963 Mar | 74 | PLYMOUTH | vol 7A p.1010

GRO death index row: Name | reg quarter | age | district | vol/page. MODERATE confidence: no exact-date discriminator. District Plymouth matches her husband Edward John Maple's own death district; age 74 at a Mar-1963 death implies birth year 1888/89, matching the tree's recorded 1889. Treat as probable rather than certain — place+age-year correlation alone, no named-relative or exact-date cross-check.

England & Wales, FreeBMD Index of Births, Marriages and Deaths · General Register Office (via FreeBMD) · 1837–1992

For Laura Chittenden (1886–1976)

Laura Chittenden | 1919 Jun | Maidstone | vol 2a p.2418

GRO marriage index, bride's row: Name | registration quarter | registration district | GRO volume and page. This index entry is the whole of what is known about her.

England & Wales, FreeBMD Index of Births, Marriages and Deaths · General Register Office (via FreeBMD) · 1837–1992

For Laura Chittenden (1886–1976)

Laura CHITTENDEN | 1886 Mar | Maidstone | vol 2a p.776

GRO birth index row: Name | reg quarter | district | vol/page. District Maidstone matches her own already-cited 1919 marriage record district exactly (citations 49331/49332, vol 2a p.2418). No prior birth or death date existed for this person before this proposal.

England & Wales, FreeBMD Index of Births, Marriages and Deaths District CANTERBURY · Volume 16 · Page 349 · Year 1976 · Quarter 1976 Mar · DOB 7FE1886 Primary

England & Wales, FreeBMD Index of Births, Marriages and Deaths · General Register Office (via FreeBMD) · 1837–1992

For Laura Chittenden (1886–1976)

LAURA BOWLER | 1976 Mar | CANTERBURY | 7FE1886 | vol 16 p.349

GRO death index row (post-1969 form): Name | reg quarter | district | DOB | vol/page. DOB '7FE1886' (7 Feb 1886) falls in the Jan-Mar quarter, matching the Mar-1886 Maidstone birth record above and corroborating one continuous identity from birth to death 90 years later. Superseded in precision by the probate calendar's exact day (below), which is the value set on the person; this quarter-level record independently corroborates it and supplies the registration district (Canterbury, placeId 865) used for deathPlaceId.
