Comments

anonymous, this information is nowhere near explicit enough.

There were two George E Kemps that died in 1950 in England (one in Kettering and one in Thurrock).  If you would like help to identify peoples records you need to be more specific.

hi anonymous, if you want to explore your ancestry I suggest that you order certificates for the births marriages and deaths from the General Registry Office using the references you can get by searching the BMD indexes (free searchable indexes are available online at http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl).

Using the family information you provided I found them in the 1881 census (below) with George's brother and father living with them, which then allowed me to find George with both parents in the 1861 and 1871 censuses (see following comments for other censuses)

 

George and Annie in the 1881 census are shown living in croydon...

KEMP, George Head Married M 26 1855 Gardener Marham, Norfolk

KEMP, Annie Wife Married F 30 1851 Market Lavington, Wiltshire

KEMP, Annie L Daughter Single F 5 1876 Scholar Wallington, Surrey

KEMP, William G E Son Single M 3 1878 Carshalton, Surrey

KEMP, James Father Widower M 62 1819 Labourer Marham, Norfolk

KEMP, James Brother Single M 36 1845 Bricklayer (Out Of Employ) Marham, Norfolk

Piece: 826 Folio: 98 Page: 20 Registration District: Croydon

Civil Parish: Wallington Address: 4, Wrights Row, Wallington County: Surrey

 

George's birth = Q4 1854, RegDistrict: Downham, Vol: 4b, Page: 348, KEMP George

George's death = Q3 1950, RegDistrict: Surrey Mid.E., Vol: 5g, Page: 171, AaD: 95, KEMP George
