.....I find an Army Birth (different BMD index) for a Rosanna Deane in 1853. The purchased certificate showed that this Rosanna was born 5 Nov 1853 to James Deane (again a sergeant) and Elizabeth O'Hara. What was the address given on this one? No address, just Date of Birth, Date and Place of Bapti...

Yeah, but can't find one, but it certainly looks like the first Rosanna died. That's the only possible explaination.

Hello again. I've finally sorted them out, but it was quite a challenge. Harriet Ann Scantlebury is registered as Skentlebury, and her father Charles Scantlebury is registered as Charles Mutton Scantelberry (note the spellings). The birth certificate for Charles states first names as Charles Mutton,...

Her name was Harriet Anne Scantlebury and her father was Charles Scantlebury.

I've searched for both of them but cannot find anything.

Charles Scantlebury was deceased at the time of Harriet's marriage (12 Apr 1903).

Today I was looking at the Electoral Register for 1909 to see who was living at a particular address at that time.

I've now seen U.D. and R.D. in the same position on other birth certificates, which, I believe, mean Urban District and Rural District, so perhaps V.S.P. is a parish.
