Carl Brind (Facebook September 2011) I think I may have found something. Just seeing if I could find a birth ref for this mystery Harry Brind (b1903) who has suddenly appeared on my 1911 census. Ive just checked the BMD and born in the correct year in Woolwich is Henry Baker Brind. (See certificate) Could Harry be a nickname for Harry? Also the middle name of Baker could suggest that Baker is the father's name. Searched for a marriage between a Baker and Brind but nothings coming up. Looked for marriages for an Annie Brind and there's these possibles..
BOWERS Albert Edward Woolwich 1d 1245
WILLIAMS John Woolwich 1d 1245. Weirdly they both have the same ref no.
Marriages Sep 1916
Stevenson Frank Brind Woolwich 1d 2213
Marriages Dec 1921 Steers Henry G Brind Woolwich 1d 2416

Hiya, Just at Essex records office. I'm expecting Henry Baker Brinds birth certificate in the next few days.

I've found Henry Baker Brind was born 2nd April and died in July-Aug-Sept 1970 in Woolwich

I've also found two marriages for a Henry B Brind (both in Woolwich)
O-N-D 1920 to a Dorothy Sharpe (this would make him 17) and
O-N-D 1945 to an Ann E Barry (this would make him 42...possible 2nd marriage?)

Hiya,

It looks like Henry Baker Brind had a daughter with his first wife......
March 1921 - Doris M Brind (mother's maiden name Sharpe) - Woolwich

I've gone through marriages for a Doris Brind but only found two (both Doris M Brinds)....
Dartford 1942 to a Mr Hodge
Liverpool 1948 to Charles E J Brind

Hi Jonathan,

I was back over Essex Records Office today. I noticed Mary Ann Brind on the census was showing as Laundress doing her own accounts. Do you think she could maybe have done her laundry thing from home? I did a bit of research on Henry Baker Brind. I found a marriage in 1920 to Dorothy May Louisa Sharpe (born 1903). There was a child born in 1921 to a Dorothy Brind (maiden name Sharpe) by the name of Doris M Brind. Henry and Dorothy married at the end of 1920, Doris was born March 1921. So this means that Dorothy was pregnant with Doris when they married (both were 17). I then found another marriage for a Henry B Brind in the Woolwich/Greenwich area but this time in 1946. I thought Dorothy May Brind may have died, for him to remarry. There were no death results. I then searched and found a marriage for a Dorothy M L Brind in the mid 1940s. It looks like Henry Baker Brind and Dorothy M L Brind must have divorced. Henry Baker Brind remarried in 1946 to an Ann E Barry. Im not sure if Barry was her maiden name or her 1st married name. Chat soon Carl :)
