For “Born” JUN 1896 of Kate Fawdry

FreeBMD birth index; the only Kate Fawdry registered nationally 1896-1898. Registers her birth about a year earlier than the tree's recorded 1897 (a birth in 1897 cannot register in the Jun quarter of 1896); see accompanying person.update. Aston was the registration district covering Sutton Coldfield in this period.

For “Died” JAN 1904 of George Manning
George MANNING | 1904 Mar | 78 | Wellington Som. | vol 5c p.211
FreeBMD death index row: name | quarter | age | district | volume/page. Retrieved 2026-09-04. Age 78 in Jan–Mar 1904 fits a 16 Dec 1825 birth. Wellington (Somerset) registration district contained Milverton (his 1901 residence) and Devon border parishes such as Hemyock and Culmstock, so the tree's 'Devon' is not contradicted.

GRO death index row (post-1969 form): Name | reg quarter | district | DOB | vol/page. DOB '30JE1898' is an exact match (day+month) to the tree's birth_date 30 JUN 1898. The tree's only prior death citation (id 6671, source 1229) has a blank death-place field; this supplies the missing district with a hard identity match.

For “Born” 7 FEB 1876 of Sydney Henry Staines
Sydney Henry STAINES | 1876 Mar | Hull | vol 9d p.281
Given-name triple 'Sydney Henry' is distinctive; district 'Hull' matches the tree's birthplace 'Kingston upon Hull' exactly. A Mar-quarter 1876 registration is consistent with a 7 Feb 1876 birth (same-quarter registration was normal); the index gives only the quarter and district, not the day, so this corroborates rather than proves the exact date.

FreeBMD birth index row, single exact match for this name/place/period; supplies the first primary citation on this birth event (Alice's existing citations are Ancestry Public Member Tree pointers to her married identity, attached at person level, not this event).

The same entry seen from the bride's side: a marriage search on surname Cole with spouse surname Charles returns this row at the identical quarter, district, volume and page. Same page reference as the groom's row above, which is what makes them one marriage rather than two.

For “Born” BET OCT 1850 AND DEC 1850 of John Edward Charles

Retrieved 2026-08-29 by a births search on surname Charles, given name John, 1850-1853, which returns 29 rows across England and Wales; this is the only one whose given names begin John E, and Rugby is the district in which this couple registered Sarah Ann Charles in March 1849 (vol 16 p. 538). Pre-1911 birth index rows name no parents, so this row identifies the registration, not the parentage.

For “Born” ABT 1860 of Margaret Ann Davis
Margaret Ann DAVIS | 1860 Mar | Tynemouth | vol 10b p.158
FreeBMD transcription of the GRO birth index, mirroring citation 53728 on the person. Earsdon and Seaton Delaval lie in the Tynemouth registration district.

Thomas is the ONLY Dodkins marriage registered in England and Wales in 1864-65, and Fanny Elizabeth the only Stacey bride of those forenames; the other three Fanny Staceys of 1865 are at Doncaster, Torrington and Lambeth.

For “Died” 1857 of Mary Elizabeth Boulden
Mary Dodkin | 1857 Jun | Royston | vol 3a p.128

The June quarter 1857 registration matches the burial of 12 May 1857 at Barkway, which lies in Royston district. FreeBMD carries no age at death before 1866, so the age of 47 comes from the burial register, not from this row.
