Im looking for information regarding my grandfathers relatives. I believe he was born in 1908, and lived in snowfields in bermondsey south london. Im told he had two brothers, cyril and george and a sister beatrice. I do not know his parents names, except that his father owned a bakery. Any help regarding my search would be very much appreciated.
Hi what is the surname of the family you are trying to trace?
The surname is Fairman.
Im looking for information regarding my grandfathers relatives. His name was Alfred James Fairman and I believe he was born in 1908, and lived in snowfields in bermondsey south london. Im told he had two brothers, cyril and george and a sister beatrice. I do not know his parents names, except that his father owned a bakery. Any help regarding my search would be very much appreciated.Β
Hi
Alfred James Fairman was born June 1908 Southwark.

Hi
In the 1901 census I found the folllowing Fairman family:
31 Hamworth Street, Bermondsey - RG13/391 folio 13 page 18
Arthur Fairman Head 25 Journeyman Pastrycook, Peckham
Ada Fairman Wife 24, Bermondsey
Ada Fairman Dau 1, Bermondsey
Above Arthur's occupation is also written in brackets 'Bread Maker'.
Arthur could be Alfred's father, but you will need to purchase Alfred's birth certificate to prove the parents names.
Regards
Bill
Thankyou Bill for your help. I will try and get hold of his birth certificate to obtain his parents names. My grandfathers birth date is 25 or 26 0f February 1908, so im sure he was not born in the month of june. Your information has been of interest, i will certainly follow it up. Thankyou.
I have found out that the Alfred Fairman born in 1908 in June may in fact be him. He had three younger siblings, cyril, george, and Beatrice. I also think that his parents names may have been George and Beatrice. His father owned the bakery. If anyone has any knowledge, or more information concerning this message i will be very grateful. Thanks.
June 1908 is the quarter when Alfred's birth was registered. So June covers April-June 1908. Not all births were registered immediately and so it could be a number of weeks between the birth and registration.
Regards
Bill
Thanks Bill for your reply. I will look into getting hold of his birth certificate. Thanks your information is much appreciated.
