Lavinia Stocking: marrying Mr Monk?

posted Wednesday, 2 January 2008
Lavinia was the tenth of Alice and James STOCKING's many children . She was born around 1889 in Camberwell and married in 1909, in Lewisham. There are two possible grooms in the index: Frederick MONK or Joseph SINEY. There are several children in the FreeBMD index with mother's name STOCKING, surname MONK, so it is likely that Frederick MONK was Lavinia's husband. The children (registered after 1911, when mother's surname is included in the index) are: James AA (1911), Albert E (1915), and Sidney F (1917), all born in Lewisham. A Frederick James MONK was also registered in Lewisham in 1910, and may be the couple's first child.
