<title>Fletcher family - 1939 Register (reply)</title>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi Phil,<br />
you need to use the FindMyPast or Ancestry subscription websites to access the 1939 Register. Sorry but I don't currently have subs to either.  However we can still get some idea of what is on the Register using FindMyPast's free search engine. </p>
<p>In this case, searching Kenneth Fletcher born Hereford 1928 gives;</p>
<p>--------</p>
<p><span style="color:#006;">Fletcher Household; Stable Cottage, Leominster and Wigmore Rural District, Herefordshire, England</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#006;">First name Last name(s) Birth year<br />
Kenneth R Fletcher 1928<br />
Frances A Fletcher and 2 more people are on this record.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#006;">--------<br />
</span></p>
<p><a href="https://www.findmypast.co.uk/1939register">https://www.findmypast.co.uk/1939register</a></p>
<p>Phil, does this new name Frances, or the place, fit what you know ??</p>
<p>----</p>
<p>Searching FreeBMD gives these records which seem relevant.<br />
HOWEVER it appears to be a different set of parents than first believed ??<br />
<span style="color:#006;"><br />
Births Dec 1928   (&gt;99%)<br />
Fletcher  Kenneth R  Jorden  Leominster  6a 719</span></p>
<p>Searching FreeBMD for Marriages between Fletcher &amp; Jorden gives no hits. I suspect JordEn is a mis-spelling, so repeat with JordAn.</p>
<p>So now find;</p>
<p><span style="color:#006;">Surname   First name(s)   Spouse   District   Vol   Page <br />
Marriages Jun 1927   (&gt;99%)<br />
FLETCHER  George T  Jordan  Leominster  6a 1295 <br />
JORDAN  Frances A  Fletcher  Leominster  6a 1295 </span></p>
<p>So clearly the mother's name matches one of those in the abovementioned 1939 Register Entry.</p>
<p>HOWEVER it looks like a different family than the one we suggested before (Fletcher/Pritchard).</p>
<p>????</p>
<p>This may be because that your Kenneth's record may still be &quot;closed&quot; so won't be found when searching.</p>
<p>???</p>
<p>Repeating the FindMyPast 1939 search for Mansel Fletcher born 1939 gives no hits. </p>
<p>--</p>
<p>Revisiting earlier research, if the parents are indeed Harry Fletcher &amp; Lily M Prichard who married Monmouth District in 1920.</p>
<p>As we have her middle name#s initial, Lily may be easier to find than Harry.<br />
This looks a good possibility for her;<br />
<span style="color:#006;"><br />
Births Jun 1896   (&gt;99%)<br />
Pritchard  Lily Mary     Monmouth  11a 32</span></p>
<p>Sadly cannot find her in this FoD site's PRs.</p>
<p>Searching for her, and so hopefully her family, in the 1939 Register seems to only give one &quot;local&quot; hit which may be her.</p>
<p>-----<br />
<span style="color:#006;">Fletcher household; Summer House, Ross and Whitchurch R.D., Herefordshire, England<br />
First name Last name(s) Birth year<br />
Mary L Fletcher 1896<br />
John James Gwyn and 4 more people are on this record<br />
4 more people who are officially closed</span></p>
<p>=====</p>
<p>Please Phil do you know any more definite facts about this family apart from the 2 boys names, eg parents definite names, or location, etc ?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On further thought, given you say the boys were born in Hereford and then Ross districts, perhaps MPG's suggestion is more likely - I was thinking of Whitchurch when I suggested the Monmouth marriage.</p>
<p>Given this possible doubt, plus the length of time between the two births, I'd still strongly recommend using the 1939 Register to back-up what is currently just a guess, at least on my part. <br />
Apart from hopefully placing baby Mansel with his parents in the same household, you may find Kenneth is there too, or nearby. </p>
<p>???</p>
<p>Update: oops, sorry Phil. Seeing as baby Mansel's birth wasn't registered until the Oct-Dec quarter of 1939, it's likely he wasn't actually born when the 1939 register was taken on 29th September, but worth looking for him just in case.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi,<br />
my first suggestion would be to look on FreeBMD for Marriages twixt Fletcher and Prichard, have you tried this ?</p>
<p>There are a couple of possibles given the location and dates, but I'd lean towards the following;</p>
<p>Surname  First name(s)  Spouse  District  Vol  Page <br />
Marriages Dec 1920   (&gt;99%)<br />
Fletcher  Harry  Pritchard  Monmouth  11a 93<br />
Pritchard  Lily M  Fletcher  Monmouth  11a 93</p>
<p>Then work from there, 1911 Census and 1939 Register should help.</p>
<p>???</p>
<p><br />
Similarly for Mansel.<br />
Not sure why you say half-brother, did their father marry wife's sister, perhaps ?</p>
<p>Surname  First name(s)  Mother/Spouse  District  Vol  Page <br />
Births Dec 1939   (&gt;99%)<br />
Fletcher  Mansel S G  Pritchard  Ross  6a 1365</p>
