His birth index:
Name: Mother's Maiden Surname:
FLETCHER, LANCELOT SACKVILLE STOPFORD SACKVILLE
GRO Reference: 1881 M Quarter in ST GEORGE HANOVER SQUARE Volume 01A Page 444
_____________________
His baptism at Saint Peter’s Church, Pimlico is from the Register image kindly provided by Ancestry:
When: 25 Feb 1881
Child’s name: Lancelot Sackville
Parent’s forenames: Lionel John William & Eleanor Mary Agnes
Parent’s surname: Fletcher
Abode: 77 Eccleston Square
When born: Jan 16th 1881
Profession: Esquire
Celebrant: Augustus Legge
FindMyPast’s transcript had the birth date as 26 May 1889, but this was from the line below. Is that why they disposed of the images, so that we could not see the errors.
I already had the correct birth date, from the 1939 register.
_____________________
Gosh, the pain of genealogy! I assumed that a marriage of a Fletch to a Shgirley in 1920 would be followed by the birth of some children. Indeex it was. But there were two marriages and all the following were NOT from the unio of this Lancelot and this Marjorie:
Last name First name(s) Year Of Birth Location
Fletcher Nora G J 1921 Alverstoke, Hampshire
Fletcher Elsie D 1923 Alverstoke, Hampshire
Fletcher Dorothy P 1928 Alverstoke, Hampshire
So I have deleted the en tries I had made.
