Find Ancestors

Hello Kelly,
Now if you ever get the chance to visit the grave, that would help to make your family history come to life.

There you go, so her husband died and she remarried....

We need to try and find children of that marriage....

September 1919 sounds more like it!!! Albert cook was my great grandad as his name is on marriage certificate!!

Mary was his mother who was a lallay,then a harris then a cook!!

Yay you found it!! well done and a HUGE thankyou, you guys are great!

But where and how did you find that information? aM I SEARCHING WRONGLY?

Marriage Mar 1906
Worcester 6c 321
Harris James
Lalley Mary Ann

Marriage 1919 Worcester 6c 394
Cook, Albert J
Harris, Mary A

Birth Mar 1922
Cook Albert J, mothers maiden name Lalley , Worcester 6c 232


Looks like Mary Ann Lalley married a James Harris in 1906. In 1919 she marries Albert J Cook and their son Albert J is born in 1922

There’s a Mary Ann Lalley born Sept 1880 registered Dudley 6c 48

Tracey you are right on her birth certificate it says on the 15th day of March, but I cant see which year! Presumably 1928 like you say!!

Thankyou to post who found marriages in 1906 but considering my grandad was born 1922, rough guess she would off been 20, my great nan would of been 6 or 7 when married!!

Marriages Sep 1919
Cook Albert J ...Harris Worcester 6c 394
Harris Mary A ...Cook Worcester 6c 394

So we're looking for a Watts/Gough pairing and a Cook/Lalley pairing....


Tracey

Unfortunatly I only have the small birth certificate which gives no information on parents, i cold buy the bigger one but as I am only on the next generation I was hoping to last a bit longer doing handy research!!

The only reason I know roses fathers name, is because it is on her marriage certificate to my grandad!

Marriages Mar 1906

CARTER Adah Winifred Worcester 6c 321
>>Harris James Worcester 6c 321
>>Lalley Mary Ann Worcester 6c 321
Wyatt Francis James L Worcester 6c 321

... the Lalley is the listed mothers maiden name!


Tracey

Here you go....

Births Mar 1928
Watts Rose (mmn) Gough Birmingham N. 6d 617

The March indicates the birth was registered in the months of jan, feb, mar..... following year registrations often happen with late year births...

I bet Rose was registered in early Jan 1928 !


Tracey

ahhh, i bet she was registered in 1928 !

hang on.....

Thanks for that where did you get that from??
What is the Lalley bit??

His mothers maiden name was Lallay, but he wouldnt of ever been known as a lallay?

You guys are quick!!!

Phoebes maiden name will be on Rose birth cert,you can the look for the marriage of her parents Phoebe to Harold Watts

Here's Albert....


Births Mar 1922 (>99%)
Cook Albert J (mmn) Lalley Worcester 6c 232
