Answer 1

UK answer.

I have answered your question before re: Rosetta . She had such an unusual name I thought it might be easy to find, after going through all of the records I found this eventually.

I found only one lady with the name Rosetta but it is actually a middle name, I think this may be her, and that you should actually be searching for George and Elizabeth.

I did find a couple of George and Elizabeths listed but not in the London area.

I firmly believe Rosetta to be the middle name.

I have been unable to place Albert with either of his parents in any census return, I found this information for you, it shows him living with his maternal gran Lucretia, it also gives her name as "Letterell" , in this census she was a widow.  You will notice that the younger Lucetia as another variation of the name, hers is down as " Tetterrell".

If you were to order the birth certificate that would be confirmation of his parents for you. You can purchase it on line for £7:00 or it was last year in any case £8:50, this you can do by contacting the site below.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Ok ... I'm just very preliminary guessing that George Henry and his wife died early, since I think that this Albert was living with a Grandfather in 1891 and an aunt in 1901. If this is the cause, his mother may have been Rosina/Rosetter Titterell (b 1865), daughter of Thomas (b 1838) & Lucretia Titterell  But, I'm just very much guessing at this point.

Please email me (see my nickname & click it, then email from there) and I'll try to help.

Thanks!

Answer 3

The only way you'll confirm anything is to spend £7 and buy the birth certificate.  Short, brutal answer, but true.  No-one can do this for you unless there is some kind of "Stockdale" ONS (One-name Study) group out there, which somehow I doubt or someone is already researching this name and person and happens to be reading Yahoo.  The odds of that?  Pretty remote.  I've got more chance of winning tomorrow nights lottery and I don't even buy a ticket!

Generally, I've been lucky, out of all the hundred or so certificates I've ordered over the last three years or so, only three have been wrong and a complete waste of money.  Sadly, mistakes in this game do happen.  That's genealogy for you.  Nothing is ever certain until you see the record.

Answer 4

Up until 1911 the birth index only gives the child's name, then the mother's maiden name was added, but not her full name. You will need to buy a birth certificate to confirm the mother's name.

Unless you can cross reference their marriage registration.
